STUNNING MUSICIANSHIP...and Beautiful recording.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I found out about Carlos Barbosa-Lima due to an available used guitar on the web created by Richard Prenkert of Sebastopol Calif. I learned that Lima was using and recording with Prenkert's guitar, and listened to cuts to determine if I like the sound. Well....duh.This is gorgeous guitar. IF you would like to listen to more of Carlos and less of other musicians, then I recommend his Siboney CD, of which I play a great deal. The tone alone will kill you. The selection of material on all of Lim'as recordings is gorgeous, and his playing of them usually becomes the definitive recording for me. Hendrik Meurkens is a great jazz harmonica player, with his own albums, and Duduka Da Fonseca, the drummer, also has his own excellent jazz/brazilian recordings, and is part of the famous Trio La Paz. So I say, check out different recordings by Barbosa-Lima, as they re very different from each other. For the purists, I still go with Siboney...which is also called Mambo # FIve, and has Eddie Gomez on it also. I think sonically it is his best recording...you'd kill to have a guitar with that sound. I bought my used Prenkert guitar, and it is very close to that sound...I just don't have a recording studio to bring out the presence the recording has. THis is the kind of music one displays their Hi-Fi on for their friends...Wonderful music that does not date."
