Michel Leme & a Firma

.............................................................by Rafael Nery

Before talking about this album, I would like to say that I feel honoured to be able to write a review about one of the biggest brazillian jazz guitar players and why not in the whole word? Make sure that in this album Michel Leme shows all his guitaristic side, without leaving his composer and arranger skills.

Michel Leme & a firma was recorded at Nimbus Studios in two days with the musicians Michel Leme (electric guitar), Cássio Ferreira (Sax ), Thiago Alves (Bass), Serginho Machado (Drumss) featuring Raphael Ferreira (sax) in " Então...".

Cha-Cha malícia starts the album with a nice and excellent melody followed by good taste virtuoso solos,Evolu-Samba as the name says is a homage samba to Michel's great friend , Arismar do Espírito Santo.The album goes on with the full of swing Swing Relax em Apucarana.

Beautiful chords comes to bring Essência which in my sight has the most beautiful melodies for this album added to all the brazilian mood on this track, Quatro por três is 3/4 compass theme with an awesome guitar solo.

The album also has the songs Light, Merengue Maneiro, Petrucciani and the dancing Então... which ends the album leaving the desire for hearing more.
