Master Fatman about Mais Uma
A big part of my heart is dedicated to brazilian music. Just like everyone else I started out with the bossa nova and was blown away, mesmerized and speechless because of the beat the harmony and the melancholy. Ever since I have dived deeper and deeper into the music of this country and neither I nor the world has become smaller through this experience.
Mais Uma is exactly a dive further down into the heart of the brazilian music. With a jazzy attitude to Música Popular Brasileira, samba and bossa they have the courage to play - thank God for that- and record pieces by various composers not known by everyone and in this way they will open doors upon doors upon doors. They are awesome and one hundred percent present in the music. This you can hear and feel. Even though I am a big bloke I find it difficult to sit still listening to their new album. In their words it is amazing.

” What so deeply impresses me is how the compositions of the band blends perfectly with the Brazilian tradition. There is a clear thread that unites the Brazilian expression with the jazz tradition”.
The Jazz News wrote:
“The CD is spreading such a great atmosphere in my living room that I have to move my butt and get up and dance”.
Mais Uma is a unique jazz quintet that spreads a lot of positive energy on stage. The music and the performance is extremely extrovert and is guarantying a lot of happy faces.
