Harry Allen (saxo tenor)

Allen's All-Star Brazilian Band: Klaus Mueller (piano), Guilherme Monteiro (guitarra), Nilson Matta (contrabajo), Duduka da Fonseca (batería), Maucha Adnet (voz).

Precioso homenaje del brillante saxofonista Harry Allen (Washington, D.C., 1966) a la combinación de música brasileña y jazz. Quien ha sido calificado como "el Frank Sinatra del saxo tenor" por el encantador sonido que extrae de su instrumento, despliega toda la elegancia y capacidad de improvisación de su estilo al interpretar los clásicos del maestro Jobim y algunas nuevas composiciones propia y de sus excelentes acompañantes.

"Harry Allen is among the most gifted straightahead tenor saxophonists to emerge since Scott Hamilton. Flying Over Rio, featuring Allen's All-Star Brazilian Band, opens with Jobim's 'Double Rainbow', a combination of jazz bossa nova and a waltz, simultaneously totally modern and classily classical. Introduced by Nilson Matta's bass, vocalist Maucha Adnet lends the dark sound of her appealingly weathered voice to the lilting melody. Previously she and Allen recorded the excellent set Eu Nao Quera Danca and their ease together is smoothly evident. It's followed by a masterful, light rendition of Richard Rodgers-Lorenz Hart's 1929 gem 'A Ship Without a Sail'. Allen eases in with a tenor sound as liquid as it is lovely; in the upper register he can evoke Stan Getz and in the lower Ben Webster, though he is no copycat. And accompanied by pianist Klaus Mueller and drummer Duduka Da Fonseca on brushes, the swaying rhythms are totally captivating. There is some lovely interplay between Allen and Guilherme Monteiro's guitar on 'The Night Has a Thousand Eyes'. Once upon a time John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins owned this tune until it was taken over by the bossa community. On this instrumental Da Fonseca's drums are an explosion of shooting stars in a rediscovery of the familiar work. Performing 'The Girl From Ipanema' strictly as an instrumental lends a different feel to the familiar Jobim tune. Introduced gently by Monteiro's inventive rhythms, Allen's dreamy long lines are punctuated by the occasional boppish toot, Mueller again lending
shining support. The exquisite 'Bonita' is another opportunity to appreciate why Adnet is a singer of choice for Jobim pieces. She is a less-is-more singer, peerlessly rhythmical even as she rests her sandsprinkled voice lightly on the melody. With Mueller and Allen subtly backing her, they make something blissful out of this lesser-known song. In music and in performance this is a totally refreshing flight over Rio."
