Roger Davidson's 2013 studio album,
Journey to Rio, features the pianist's exploration of the music of Brazil. Produced by Argentine bassist
Pablo Aslan,
Journey to Rio features a broad mix of
Davidson's original compositions that mix bossa nova with his own interests in classical, jazz, and French sounds. Joining
Davidson here is a stellar group of musicians including saxophonist Marcelo Martins, trombonist Gilmar Ferreira, guitarist
Leonardo Amuedo, drummer Rafael Barata, percussionist
Marco Lobo, and others. ~ Matt Collar
