Rio
Raul de Souza

The nicest one you’d expect by Brazilian trombonist Raul de Souza, and an album that has a tight jazzy sound.Winner of several awards, both in Brazil and abroad, Raul de Souza is internationally acclaimed by critics as one of the world’s greatest trombonists. Conrad Herwig handled many of the arrangements, and the set includes versions of Roberto Menescal’s “Rio”, Johnny Alf’s “Nós” (We), and Oscar Castro Neves “Chora tua Tristeza” (Weep your Sadness).

“Raul de Souza recorded and shared the stage with top jazz musicians, accompanied the best singers, was the soloist of the best combos and orchestras. These are not remote stories. At the top of his form, has made Rio one of the great recent instrumental albums.”
Mauro Dias - Estado de São Paulo

“Rich in harmonies, charming in style, Raul de Souza manages to produce incredible sound landscapes in “Rio”, as stimulating to the senses as the most beautiful images of the city that gives its name to this disc.”
Marcelo Araújo - Jornal de Brasília
