This recording was very special in the sense that I was free to create and play my best. Chick is a very intelligent person and sensitive to people and situations. ... The way he communicates is not going to close your mind, it's going to open your mind.

It's a little more alive, a little more aggressive. The rhythm is stronger and a little bit faster.

The idea is very exciting and I'm really looking forward to playing this music as a trio. It's going to definitely be different ... because of the style that I play which is kind of a Brazilian jazz. Even when I play jazz and live in this country for so long, I didn't lose yet my Brazilian accent when I play and when I talk.
