Alexandre Gismonti Trio: Baiao de Domingo (2009)

Alexandre Gismonti made his recording debut last year, playing guitar duets with his father Egberto on the ECM album Saudacoes. Baiao de Domingo is his first CD, leading a trio under his own name. The rest of the group is made up of Mayo Pamplona on bass and Felipe Cotta on percussion. The disc itself and the live performances to launch the CD have received plenty of praise by the Brazilian press. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any review in English.
