PAULA ROBISON, flute
ROMERO LUBAMBO, guitar
CYRO BAPTISTA, percussion

THREE CELEBRATED MUSICIANS BRING THEIR CLASSICAL, JAZZ, FOLK AND PERFORMANCE ART TRADITIONS TOGETHER AND STIR THEM IN THE MELTING POT OF BRAZIL!

"Robison applies her gleaming tone and flawless control evocatively, and need concede nothing in supple rhythmicality to her superb Brazilian colleagues." Los Angeles Times

"The overwhelming emphasis was on the pleasures of the of the moment ... Robison
had allied herself with such a free spirit as Baptista, and with Romero Lubambo, whose intelligence, inventiveness and sheer class came at you fully realized and in clear focus
from first to last ... the atmosphere was vivid, the pleasures real." The Boston Globe

"... a marriage made in heaven." Stereo Review

"...Virtuosity and verve ... dazzling." The Boston Phoenix

"Exquisite beauty ... authentic and moving ... may well qualify Robison for an honorary Brazilian citizenship." Jazz Times

"Each musician boasts dazzling individual skills ... 'Segura ele' found Lubambo's guitar and Robison's flute in stirring duet with Baptista, who sprang up, tambourine in hand, to spur on the final few choruses ... and Robison's projecting virtuosic round notes and dancerly grace." Jazziz

"Exceptionally, timelessly beautiful ... Robison teams with Brazilian musicians for a
soothing, spinning, jumping set of choros, chorinhos, bossas and Bach." ExpressNews
(San Antonio, TX)

"Romero Lubambo's mellow, good-natured chords held the players together, this side of anarchy. Baptista staked his claim as a maestro of exotic percussion devices. Using the myriad shakers, whistles and bowed and struck instruments surrounding him, he mesmerized the audience with both the variety of contraptions and his ability to coax such amazing sounds from them. The players obviously enjoyed the zany energy they imparted, but they never let it eclipse the music itself." The State (Columbia, SC)

"... An entertaining mix of virtuosity and freedom ... captivating and unforgettable."
The Inquirer and Mirror

"A revelation to music lovers ... the players went from yearning and intensely lyrical moves to a wild musical romp." Naples Daily News

"Everything that transpired during the performance was a joy to the senses."
Cape Cod Times
