After his 1976 debut on ECM, the stunning Danca Das Cabecas with percussionist
Naná Vasconcelos,
Gismonti returned the following year with this impressive combo outing. Actually, the album consists of a mix of solo pieces and cuts with various partners, in both duo and trio formats. He penned all the material and shines throughout. The guest do the same, with special mention going to guitarist
Ralph Towner, percussionist Colin Walcott, tenor saxophonist
Jan Garbarek, and
Vasconcelos. Highly recommended. ~ Stephen Cook
