A landmark record from Brazilian soul singer Ed Motta – the set that really got him the attention he deserved – and put him right up there in a soul music pantheon next to his famous uncle, the great Tim Maia! The set's not Ed's first, but it's the one where he really found his groove – channeling his love of 70s soul, fed by work as a famous record collector, into a more contemporary style that had Motta maybe hitting neo soul modes a bit before some singers in America! At this point, Ed's still singing in Portuguese, but already with a really universal sense of soul – on titles that include "Vendaval", "Fora Da Lei", "Daqui Pro Meier", "Luna E Sera", and "Dias De Paz".

Nicely spare live material from guitarist Joe Pass – a musician who always seems to sparkle in this sort of setting! The performance was originally captured for radio at the Four Queens in Las Vegas, and has great sound quality – really getting at that special way that Joe has of working the strings – almost raspy, but always sweet – filled with amazing tones, in that sensitive style that he really perfected during the 70s! Titles include "Corcovado", "Mack The Knife", "Daquilo Que Eu Sei", "Joy Spring", "Beautiful Love", "All The Things You Are", and "I Concentrate On You". CD
