"She and her band got it just
right.... Dr. John and a horn section
show up to add punch or sway to four of a dozen tracks. Oh, Lord, she's
missed." **** (4 stars) "...she had me hooked from Jumpstreet" - liner reminiscence by Dick Waterman "Judy was the first of her generation of blues women, and still one of the best. To this day, her phrasing, tone and above all her originality are unmatched. A very important singer." -Dave Van Ronk Finally, from early 1980's sessions, the Judy Roderick CD, 4 songs with Mac Rebennack (aka Dr John). For those who remember the Judy Roderick & the Forbears cassette... this is the same set, remastered for Compact Disc, plus Judy's solo recording of "Floods" from 1976. |

I wish to express my gratitude to Thiago de Mello, whose compositions, musicianship and friendship have progressively changed my life and music for the better over the years since we met on a boat in the middle of the Amazon River. The current CDs, DISK TUM DERREI and ANOTHER FEELING, in which Thiago has invited me to participate are an inspration and an honor which I value deeply. Please visit his website, and discover more CDs by this prolific and talented composer, and know that Disk Tum Derrei and Another Feeling are available there, also. I would be remiss if I did not also acknowledge Arnaldo DeSouteiros, the visionary Brazilian producer who has worked for many years with Thiago, as well as other legendary figures in Brazil and the rest of the world. Arnaldo was instrumental in the conception of this CD, and there will be cause to celebrate as Another Feeling and Disk Tum Derrei are released in Brazil on JSR (Jazz Station Records). -Dexter Payne

Have you ever walked alone through a quiet beautiful woodland and stepped into an open space full of nothing but warm and growing brightness, and felt like nature was a cathedral and you were seated in its front row? Another Feeling sounds just like that: completely, naturally, immaculate and beautiful. read more... |

INSPIRATION was included in the Recording Academy Entry List for possible Grammy nomination as Best Contemporary World Album.
"Fabulous CD... You guys
are really doing some sweet stuff." – Mike Marshall
"...winning subtlety, fitting together like pieces of an intricate, intimate puzzle... the Brazilian whispers, and not just the carnival clamor." - Missoula Independent

"Antonio is one of the formost examples of the huge talent which naturally flows from the Brasilian musician. I was absolutely moved by his recording with the American clarinetist Dexter Payne. The pieces on this CD reflect his maturity as a composer and instrumentalist." - Sergio Assad "Dexter Payne, a clarinetist with beautiful sonority, fascinating fluency and - for the general astonishment of those who still think that 'Americans cannot swing playing Brasilian rhythms' - he proves otherwise with his own incredible mischevious phrasing. To define him as a mixture of Artie Shaw and Severino Araujo would be no exageration whatever...A work of the highest level... feats of three wise men, united by their passion for the music." - Arnaldo DeSauteiro |
" Relaxing and intellectual at the same time, 'Inspiration' might remind some American ears of the classic Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd collaboration, 'Jazz Samba'." -Bret Saunders, Denver Post
