Roni Ben Hur

On their third project together, CeCe is in good company with the inimitable bassist/producer, Harvie S, who has co-authored all arrangements with the magnificent guitarist, Roni Ben-Hur. Also on this album is the drummer – percussion colorist really – Sylvia Cuenca, and the prodigiously gifted baritone saxophonist/bass clarinetist, Brian Landrus, who helps hold up the bottom register of the music with gravitas.

A staple of New York City's jazz and Afro-Cuban scenes over the last five decades, acclaimed flutist Andrea Brachfeld celebrates the sounds of Brazil with this spirited tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim. Along with arrangements of classics such as "Waters of March," "Girl From Ipanema" and "Ligia," Brachfeld offers a look into her writing partnership with frequent collaborator Bill O'Connell through their Brazil-inspired compositions, "Espaço Aberto," "Sonhos e Cores," and "Triste e Solitaria." With bandmates: pianist o'Connell, guitarist Roni Ben-Hur, bassists Harvie S & Lincoln Goines, and drummer/percussionists Jason Tiemann, T. Portinho, and Chembo Corniel, Brachfeld creates an inspired, deeply grooving collection of Brazilian gems.
