o The celebrated Brazilian singer-musician-composer, Milton Nascimento revisits some of his finest songs on this new album, on which he is brilliantly accompanied by French brothers Lionel and Stéphane Belmondo (saxophone and trumpet) and a fine large ensemble of jazz musicians, including Eric Legnini on piano and Andre Ceccarelli on drums - plus a string orchestra.

o The glorious arrangements, reminiscent of Gil Evans’ work, are by Lionel Belmondo and Christophe Del Sasso. Nascimento gives touching, poetic renditions of his compositions playing some acoustic guitar and button accordion.

o A truly heart-warming recording, where samba, bossa nova, jazz, foro and even touches of classical blend to form a very satisfying album.

o Nascimento appeared at Jazz Cafe, London, in May 2008, receiving a 4-star review in The Guardian - and is scheduled to return to the UK later in 2008.
