“While Brazilian Whispers marks Andrea Brachfeld’s first thorough exploration of the titular stream of sound, you’d never know it from the results. Teaming up with Bill O’Connell, her longtime pianist and sounding board, the veteran flutist, who’s typically engaged in Afro-Cuban affairs or straight ahead suggestions, sounds like she’s been playing this music all her life.”
“…the vibrant “Espaço Aberto” closes out the album with a smile and a samba-ish strut.”
“Whether dealing in introspection or cresting waves of exhilaration, Brachfeld’s flutes manage to capture the ineffable qualities of Brazilian beauty in its many forms.”
