This is another great album by master Brazilian Jazz Pianist, Producer, Songwriter and Arranger: Marcos Ariel; here he's accompanied by long-time friend and amazing Guitarist Ricardo Silveira, as well as by Bassist Joao Baptista and Drummer Jurim Moreira.
And just like the title suggests: 4 Friends, these four guys play so good intersecting all their skills and passions for Brazilian Jazz in a superb combo.
Here we have the trademark of Marcos: Great instrumental ballads, great pieces where he masterfully combines multi-rhytmic lines and some great funk pieces. Among these, the great highlight is: "Don Azimuth"; a homage to two great institutions of Brazilian Jazz: Joao Donato and Trio Azymuth; very catchy tune that you'll love immediately; very recommendable..................

This is a very nice smooth jazz album with brazillian flavours here and there. If you like such people as Gregg Karukas, Dan Siegel and Kim Pensyl, you will for sure like this one. Enjoy and relax.

I like this CD, but it is more "smooth jazz" than the beat I'm used to hearing from Ariel.

Being an inveterate surfer on Amazons Smooth Jazz pages, I found this album purely by chance, I liked it immediately and bought a copy, I have to say of the albums by Marcos Ariel this one is the best. I'm also hoping the reviewer who recommended "Zil" shares my same passion for the music as I've just ordered a copy and am hoping it meets the high expectations I have for it.

and here's another one. A great jazzy listen from start to finish. There is something to be said for CDs where you don't have to reach for the fast forward button, or in some really regrettable situations, the OFF button. Highly recommended. You should also consider adding My Only Passion and Magic Eyes to your collection as well.
