(5 out of 5 stars)
"This has been (and I don't know why nobody else has rated this gem since 1990 when it first came out)a fantastic album by one of the best exponents of Brazilian Jazz and/or Jazz in general.
All of the songs are superb; some ballad-like and some very funky Jazz with all kinds of Brazilian elements.
Among them, the highlights are:
'Til Tomorrow / Avec Elegance / Backlash / Green Line / Bom de Tocar (Good to Play) and Marimba Dance.
