"In the early 1990s, newgrass mandolin whiz Mike Marshall got the bug for Brazilian "choro" music, a mainly-instrumental Dixieland-ish style that's as old as the samba and three times as fast... He's joined here by folks such as Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, Andy Narell and Brazilian-born pianist Jovino Santos Neto, in a surprisingly strong, cheerfully playful set... Lots of fun and performed with a real understanding for the music. Recommended!



Note: this disc is an expanded version of the original 1996 album, now on the Adventure Music label (reissued in 2005), with three added tracks."

"One word, Amazing! Mike Marshall is one of todays best mandolinist and he shows his innovative concepts while playing traditional Brazilian Choro. He pulls in some heavy hitters for this project and it just simply couldn't have been done better. If you are a first time listening to Choro or Marshall for that fact, well this is a great CD to pick up. You will be hooked after the firstt song.
