Un saxo, una guitarra y, de fondo, el suave murmullo de las olas y las gaviotas en un idílico atardecer en Malibu Beach... o en cualquier playa tranquila del litoral brasileño. Esto es lo que recoge esta maravillosa sesión de grabación, aún hoy muy poco conocida, que no tenía el propósito de ser comercializada, pero que, 20 años después de realizada, fue recuperada por el sello JVC.

Unos acordes "toninhohortianos" abren el "Bonita" del maestro Jobim y dan el tono al encuentro de dos auténticos artistas, dos amigos en perfecta sintonia entre sí y con la naturaleza, que los envuelve en su versión más paradisiaca, para recrear unos cuantos standards de jazz a ritmo brasileño.

El vigoroso saxo, con pasión contenida y suavidad de terciopelo, lanza al aire sus solos sinuosos e imaginativos que, por momentos, piruetean con alegría infantil en la brisa marina y en otros se mecen y contonean en ella con sensualidad nada inocente... pero sin perder de vista, ni por un segundo, a la guitarra cómplice, vigilante y complaciente.

Es el sonido de la simpatía y placidez absolutas.

"When the music on this CD was released for the first time in 1997, it had been a long time since anything had been heard from John Klemmer on records. A superior improviser who was one of the few innovators on the electrified sax (along with Eddie Harris), Klemmer had great commercial success in the mid-1970s with some ballad-oriented mood music recordings that were close to pop. However, during the '80s and early '90s he focused on composing and stayed out of the studios, except for the 1989 date that resulted in Music. On this very enjoyable session, Klemmer sticks to his acoustic tenor and is heard performing a set of duets with acoustic guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves. Other than the inclusion of some beach and seagull sounds here and there (added because the duo often played in the Malibu area at the time), the music is unedited and quite spontaneous. Klemmer's pretty tone is often reminiscent of Stan Getz, which is obvious even before getting to his versions of "Early Autumn" and "Moonlight In Vermont," yet his style was always a bit more advanced, and he often pushes himself. Castro-Neves is mostly in a supportive role, adding Brazilian rhythms and his own brand of beauty to the lyrical date. Recommended." Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.
