The recording project was conceived by Marcelo and Doug to be a musical register where the two genres of contemporary music – Jazz, and Brazilian Music – could share the same space. Thus, the pieces that were written exclusively for this project have distinct features of the national genres of the composers.

Doug Stone, for instance, wrote tunes that embrace Bebop, Swing, Free Jazz, Modal Jazz, and Soul. On the other hand, Marcelo Magalhães Pinto wrote tunes that go through a variety of Brazilian styles, such as the Congado, Choro, Baião, and Samba, among others. From the musical perspective, the outcome is extremely interesting because even though the composers had written pieces with genres that are particular to their own countries (Brazil and United States), there are common elements that unified the compositions: the harmonic treatment and the improvisation.

The harmony, as a sound architect, weaves the connections among the chords, making the musical elements that go back since Romanticism connect the past with the present. Whereas improvisation acts as a tool of maximal expression in the performance. It is through improvisation that musicians not only express themselves but also talk to each other.

Two cats were invited: the drummer André “Limão” Queiroz, a professor at the UFMG School of Music – who was Marcelo’s colleague during their bachelor’s degree at the same school – and bassist Quinn Sternberg, who has been collaborating with Doug in the US. The album was recorded in New Orleans, LA, where presentations were made that promoted not only this work but also Brazilian and American culture and music.

This album also has music composed by Quinn Sternberg.
