Virtuoso guitarist, composer, arranger and producer Oscar Castro-Neves’ debut album for Mack Avenue, Playful Heart is a shining example of the perfect union that can come to exist between jazz and Brazilian music. On the CD's thirteen tunes, Castro-Neves transforms standards, re-arranges classics and offers originals, all linked by the interpretive, evocative guitar work that has earned him four decades of worldwide acclaim.

Gerald Wilson Orchestra "New York, New Sound"
$14.98
MAC 1009
For this album, the only non-laid back resident of L.A. was in a New York state of mind, and came up with a session that sounds like it was written by a cat half his age. Between the jet-propelled bookends of "Milestones" and "Nancy Jo", are outstanding examples of Gerald's thick-textured wide voicings providing plenty of stretch-out room for such stellar soloists as Jimmy Owens, Trumpet; Luis Bonilla, Trombone; Jesse Davis, Alto Sax; Jimmy Heath, Tenor Sax; and Kenny Barron, Piano.
