About this album

Tudo Bem! is a graceful 1978 meeting of Joe Pass’s refined jazz guitar and Paulinho Da Costa’s Brazilian percussion and rhythmic colour. Blending cool jazz, Latin jazz and bossa nova, the album draws on standards and Brazilian repertoire to create a warm, fluent dialogue between strings and rhythm. Pass’s clean harmonic touch and Da Costa’s supple percussive drive give the record its easy swing and understated sophistication. Songs such as Corcovado, Wave and The Gentle Rain underline how naturally the pair move between jazz improvisation and Brazilian songcraft, making this a distinctive cross-genre session from two musicians at the top of their craft.
