A modern jazz piece by a quartet led by American tenor saxophonist Joel Frahm, where lyricism and swing feel beautifully intertwine.
The title means "crossing roads" in Portuguese, and as the name suggests, it is a delicate blend of American jazz and Brazilian influences.
Frahm's tenor boasts a warm yet clear tone. The lyrical themes evolve naturally into dynamic improvisations, and the quartet's close interplay adds depth to the music. Bossa nova-like rhythms and soft harmonies are woven throughout, creating an urban, sophisticated atmosphere.
