This is the 1988 album by Brazilian guitarist Natan Marques and keyboardist Ricardo Leao, hailing from São Paulo. The album features Christovao Bastos on piano, Paul Liberman on saxophone, Picole on drums, and Clodoaldo on percussion. Standout tracks include the fantastic A1, with its gypsy-like melodies on guitar and piano interplaying over a percussion-driven, open rhythmic section. The title track, B1, stands out for the contrast between its transparent percussion and acoustic guitar, creating a beautiful composition. The album contains several emotionally delicate Brazilian crossover jazz pieces, reminiscent of Pat Metheny, with a clear and fresh sound design.
