Album Notes Personnel: Kenny Barron (piano); Toninho Horta (guitar); Nico Assumcao (bass); Victor Lewis (drums); Mino Cinelu (percussion). This impressive set reveals one of the many sides of pianist Kenny Barron, that of the Latin romantic. His nimble style is featured on eight original compositions focusing on the Brazilian samba in various forms. The man who adds the most flavor to these pieces is percussionist Mino Cinelu, who provides the myriad of sounds that give the music such an authentic feel; Barron and Cinelu perform almost as a duet within the ensemble. For his part, Tonino Horta's tasteful acoustic guitar adds just the right texture to provide that Brazilian spirit. Standout cuts include the opening title track, the lively "Bacchanal," and the delicately dancing "Belem."
