Albuquerque, Jorge, Marcus Amorin, Rafael Barata
Revolving Landscapes
This is Rio-based guitar master Marcos Amorims third release for Adventure Music, and his first for the label with a new trio that features drummer Rafael Barata (Rosa Passos, Edu Lobo, Ivan Lins, Mario Adnet), and bassist Jorge Albuquerque (Nestor Torres, Leo Gandelman, Antonio Adolfo). While true to the Brazilian influences that formed his elegant style, Amorim has received critical acclaim for his distinctive sound. On Revolving Landscapes, he, Barata and Albuquerque have fused their individual, impressive abilities to craft a sensuous and intimate set of songs. "This trio can very well be the premier of its kind." - Javier Quiones, Jazz Times, April 2004
