Author: William Yeoman
All the works on the disc are ‘inspired by South American and Spanish roots’, so the dominant flavour is Latin. Nevertheless, the programme displays all the diversity of a Brazilian rainforest, both in terms of instrumentation (the nylon string guitars of Isbin and Romero Lubambo; the electric guitars of Steve Vai, Stanley Jordan and Steve Morse; the vocals of Nancy Wilson and Rosa Passos; the soprano sax of Paul Winter; the ‘organic’ percussion of Gaudencio Thiago de Mello) and style (Spanish, Columbian, Argentinian, Brazilian; classical, jazz, rock).
The result is less a paella mixta than a true symphony of hearts and minds built on the cantus firmus of Isbin’s passion for musical friendship.
