Marco Pereira & Paul McCandless - Essence




Beautiful release by the brasilian guitarist and composer Marco Pereira, believed by many to be the best brasilian guitarist after Baden Powell. 
In this album he teams up with Paul McCandless, a horn and woodwind virtuoso. Natallino Neto plays bass guitar and Marcio Bahia plays drums and percussions, providing a solid rythmic base. Pereira is a phenomenal guitarist from Sao Paolo with a strong classical and jazz background.
"Essence" features composers such as Cesar Mariano, Nelson Cavaquinho, Baden Powell, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto.

Pereira's guitar technique is always bright, brilliant and flawless while McCandless is just gorgeous on bass clarinet, English horn and 
 soprano saxophone. It is a refined and exquisite work recorded for Kind of Blue at the Maxine Studio in Milan, Italy.
