“Sonhos e Cores, a well-written, dramatic Brachfeld/O’Connell original which benefits immensely from Corniel’s percussion. It contains one of the flautist’s best-developed solos.” ~Sam Norris, London Jazz News, January 2020
“O’Connell returns to the Rhodes for his and Brachfeld’s original Triste e Solitaria, a gorgeous tune very much in the style of Jobim but with a slightly more adventurous harmonic approach, and probably the most successful track on the album.” ~Sam Norris, London Jazz News, January 2020
“Never Let Me Go, intended as a tribute to the late trumpeter Roy Hargrove. Brachfeld opts for the larger alto flute here, demonstrating a beautifully rich, deep sound which is complemented perfectly by some colourful voicings from O’Connell.” ~Sam Norris, London Jazz News, January 2020
“…Jobim’s Double Rainbow…Underpinned by a driving jazz waltz feel from Harvie S and Tiemann, the head sees Brachfeld’s earthy flute tone blend effortlessly with O’Connell’s Rhodes, reminiscent of Joe Farrell and Chick Corea on the latter’s seminal album Light as a Feather. The asymmetric form poses no problems for Brachfeld, who takes a fluent, athletic solo…” ~Sam Norris, London Jazz News, January 2020
“…all the right moves are in all the right places as art and heart mix it up
here in fine form…”
