From press release:
"After delighting audiences for several years with their energetic mixture of Brazilian choro, samba and jazz, Grupo Falso Baiano has released its debut studio CD, produced by legendary percussionist Michael Spiro. The album features a number of special guest appearances, including Jovino Santos Neto, Mike Marshall and Michael Spiro. Viajando: Choro e Jazz showcases Grupo Falso Baiano’s blend of traditional Brazilian choro music with modern influences such as jazz, flamenco and samba. Choro is Brazil’s first national music, often compared to ragtime, Dixieland and klezmer for its melodic, playful sound. The repertoire on the CD spans over 100 years, with creative, jazz-influenced arrangements of both classic material and works by modern masters (Hermeto Pascoal, Hamilton de Holanda). Grupo Falso Baiano is: Ami Molinelli, percussion; Brian Moran, 7-string guitar; Zach Pitt-Smith, Reeds; Jesse Appelman, mandolin."
