Editorial Reviews

Virtuoso mandolinist Mike Marshall is joined by some of today's finest instrumentalists playing choro music, the high spirited instrumental style from Brazil. Brazil Duets was originally released in 1996 and has been in great demand over the last several years. It has now been totally remastered and repackaged and features never before heard bonus material.

Marshall's mandolin, guitar and violin playing have taken him around the world during his 27 year career and created some of the most provocative and engaging new acoustic and world music today in a variety of styles ranging from bluegrass to classical and Brazilian.

Featured on these recordings are Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, Andy Narell, Mike Manring, Jovino Santos Neto and others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Brazilian "choro" music, with a spacegrass twist, November 7, 2005

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.
