This album, released in 1980, is by Brazilian keyboardist Jota Moraes, who also contributed to Marvio Ciribelli's work in 1991. The album features Pascoal Meirelles on drums. Throughout the record, there's a mellow vibe with a gently swaying rhythm section complemented by the mild sounds of marimba and electric piano. Highlights include the soothing mellow tune "A5," where female singer Aline's adult-like scat dances softly, and the superbly executed fast-paced jazz track "B1," featuring nimble acoustic piano solos and aggressive drumming. While infused with the essence of Brazilian traditional music and folklore, the album showcases Moraes' unique sense, absorbing various musical elements. Side A is structured as a three-part suite. Highly recommended.
A5 : Suite da Guerra do Chaco - C) Canto Aos Herois
