“Vila” is the latest release from Brazilian guitarist Fabiano Nascimento and Trombonist Vittor Santos. “Vila” instantly transports you to the countryside of Brazil. It’s the quiet and secluded neighborhoods where Nascimento grew up that inspired this recording. Santos leads a sixteen-piece Orchestra while Nascimento’s gentle guitar compliments them with aplomb. “Spring Theme” is a tender tune filled with Nascimento’s subtle yet poignant guitar melodies. The blissful strings of the Orchestra emerge like a cool breeze on a warm summer day. Santos’s warm trombone flows alongside the harmonic strings and guitar on “Tema Em Harmonicos”. Nascimento has played with everyone from Arthur Verocai to Carlos Nino. Santos has also played with premier musicians such as Marcos Valle and Elza Soares. This recording is a bit nostalgic and that’s part of what makes it so special. The other part is two master musicians at the top of their game. Stellar work indeed.
