Nilson Matta with Trio Da Paz and Joe Locke


QUOTES:

-"Matta has both subtlety and power. The disc merits a listen focusing on the bass: It becomes the band’s center, the other instruments decoration for the thick pulse and accents – most marvelously on the centerpiece and highlight “Bachiao.” Collaboration between players of this caliber is, of course, good for everyone involved. “Live at JazzBaltica” is the sound of four virtuosos having a blast even as they try to upstage each other. Their musicianship can overwhelm – hearing every note of every solo is nigh impossible – but it’s a joy to listen to.”
Michael J. West - JazzTimes Magazine (April 2008)

- "Those rhythmic quibbles aside, the trio is a tremendous setting for guitarist Romero Lubambo and bassist Nilson Matta, and Locke’s rippling and popping vibes work is a highlight on Matta’s “Copacabana” and Lubambo’s “Bachiao.”
