about

On this duo recording Culpo, from behind a lively piano, and Richard with a sinuous soprano saxophone, offer a remarkable journey. The music contained in this portrait in black and white breathes freely while moving between standards, Kern- All The Things You Are, Jazz masterpieces, Monk- Trinkle Tinkle, Mingus- Duke Ellington Sound of Love, Kirk- Haunted Melody, 4 compositions of Culpo, and 3 versions of Jobim’s Retrato em Branco e Preto.
