Review: Midwest Record on Mark Weinstein’s Jazz Brasil
‘Flutes, Brazil and jazz seem like such a natural combination and Weinstein has found the corner to turn to make Herbie Mann smile down upon his efforts. With a different touch of special sauce this time around, adding the coloration of fellow Monk devotee Kenny Barron on piano, the cross cultural cross currents never turn into a rip tide but they draw you in big time. Slightly to the left of being a commercial recording, this is simply a set of heartfelt, buoyant and bubbling playing that’s played and heard for the fun of it. A great set to change your mood if it needs some lifting fast. Well done.’
