Brazilian Singer Meets Legendary Jazz Bassist!

There is something so alluring about Brazilian music: a suggestion of the tropical, the mysterious, and the sensual. And there is the Portuguese language, where a simple turn of phrase, a halting silence, the cool articulation of a vowel sound can summon forth feelings that require no translation.

Singer Rosa Passos and bassist Ron Carter have recreated Brazilian music in their own image. Entre Amigos is a front row seat right by Ron Carter's big, woody upright bass as he uses his singing sound, big percussive beat and uncanny harmonic sensibility to complement the come-hither bossa artistry of the inimitable Rosa Passos.

"...an enchanting example of artistry beyond category." - Los Angeles Times

"If you're never heard of Rosa Passos then this disc will allow you to never forget her. Ditto Ron Carter, the bassist who exemplifies what a jazz bassist is all about." - The Stereo Times

"The synergies create a groove that throbs like life." - Jazz Times
