Eine exaltierte Künstlerin wie Maria João prägt die Wahrnehmung. Mario Laginha brauchte eine Weile, um nicht mehr vorrangig als ihr Begleiter und Impulsgeber verstanden zu werden. Inzwischen ist der Pianist aus Lissabon aber einige Schritte weiter und stellt mit einem Trioalbum wie „Jangada“ seine Welt melodischer Eloquenz vor. Er ist kein kammerjazzender Tastenstreichler, auch keiner der launischen Dekonstrukteure der Neo-Avantgarde, sondern eher konservativ im Sinne gestaltender Sinnlichkeit.

Have One on Me is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom, released on February 23, 2010 via Drag City as the official follow up to the harpist's highly acclaimed second studio release, 2006's Ys. It is a triple album produced by herself and mixed by long-time collaborators Jim O'Rourke and Noah Georgeson, with the accompanying arrangements by Ryan Francesconi. Have One on Me continues Newsom's use of cryptic, pastoral lyrics, with a further progression of elements of her sound such as the orchestral accompaniment and the arrangements – with the inclusion of diverse instruments like the tambura, the harpsichord and the kaval. The production also flirts with genres such as jazz and blues in some of the tracks, while adding drums and the electric guitar in others.
