What a gifted pianist and singer!
author: Ines de SouzaI loved the songs. I am brazilian and I was happy to listen to this great selection. This CD is amazing and I intend to buy a few more as gifts!
Puts you onto the beaches of brazil.
author: little goose musicThis cd really takes you away with Bill's sensitive vocals and piano work. A very tastily produced cd that is a new look at an old feeling.
Evocative Originals, Soulful Portuguese Vocals, Major Chops, & Leaves Space
author: William B MersereauDistinctive Jazz trio sound features evocative originals & Soulful Portuguese Vocals. This piano player has major chops & as a leader is quite adept at leaving space for his bandmates on bass & percussion to shine.
