“Hypnotic Afro – Brazilian accented jazz”
– Doug Spencer, Weekend Planet, Radio National


Track 3 musicians include Philip Rex, Peter Knight, Ben Gillespie and Tony Hicks.
Tracks 7 and 8 include Zvi Belling, Tim Nikolsky and Bryan Karahasan.


Ray Pereira, Leo Dale and Doug DeVries take the passion and poetry of Brazilian guitar, add some dynamism and fire with West Africa percussion and stir in soaring and intricate melodies on saxes and flutes. The music is composed, yet improvised. It may sound like Jazz to you, but then again! Is it African? Brazilian? Spanish?


“Steeped in Brazilian rhythms and colors with the percussion sound coming out of Africa” – Leon Gettler, The Age
