Jamming! 
and 
Time Pics

Between 2002 e 2004 I've been working on my projects Jamming! and Time Pics, composing sambas for a possible Sambas CD to be released in the future, songs for the new songs CD, and working on a project with guitar players from all over the world.
The experienced drummer Teo Lima played two tracks for  Jamming!, and two more tracks for my next instrumental work "Time Pics". His style is really ........... !
Zé Canuto and  Marcelo Martins played great  stuff on saxes and flutes, like always!
Pra completarmos as cozinhas, contamos também com as brilhantes participações do Mauro Diniz  
( cavaco ) e  do
Paulo Calasans  
( pianos elétricos )
From  New York to our project Jamming! we had the fantastic .... of  Randy Brecker
the bass player
Will Lee, , the drummer 
Joel Rosenblatt
( ex- Spyro Gyra ), 
the sax player
Ada Rovatti ,
 the piano player Jill McCarron  
and the brazilan bass player Guilherme Castro.
In some of the tracks we had our Dream Team Samba Rhytmus Section : Teo Lima, Bororó and João Carlos Coutinho.
This João... what he does on the samba-piano is a kind of stuff I'll never understand! ... Incredible...
In other tracks we have nothing less then Márcio Bahia quebrando todas, showing his incredible hands independence . 
He recorded a uptempo frevo, a uptempo samba and a jazzwalz for my next instrumental release  and two tracks for 
Jamming!
We have also the great
Arthur Maia , a brazilian bass reference name , one of the most musicals musician I have ever met, and a great guy, 

the drummer  Erivelton Silva  ( very tastefull and nice 
playing! ) 

and  Nema Antunes, one of my favorite bass players

Another special musician is the harmonica player Gabriel Grossi , playing virtuoso in some tracks.
The clarinet player Cristiano Alves gave us also another great performance.
We can't forget the femnale singers of Jamming!, they are fabulous:

Patricia Mellodi,

Luanda Cozetti

Marianna Leporace

and also featuring Lili Araujo, Patricia Calcado, Marcelle Couto and Roberta Monção

We need also to mention the great work of bass player  Claussi Ramos,  the guitar player Leo Castro,  cavaco player Maguila, percussion player Bira, accordion player Borginhos and  Cleber Zimbrão on trombones.

I cannot wait to see this recordings on the stores

Just wait!


Well, after all this, I think, it's enough...

People may say I tried to please a lot, but I actually wanted to put all of these great people together, because all of them were very important for my music. I was certainly unfair for not have mentioning some others... I beg their pardon...

To all the musicians mentioned above and to many others who where not, many thanks.
