Listen to this week's show

This week's edition of Caminhos do Jazz is a two-fer... First up is the new disk from Brazilian singer-pianist Catina De Luna and Venezuelan guitarist and arranger-producer Otmaro Ruíz. Lado B Brazilian Project 2 (Sunnyside, 2025) is the second installment of the illustrious duo's B-side project. The project was born in 2015 with the release of Lado B Brazilian Project (Self Produced), which received a Grammy nomination in 2016. The idea was to interpret what we might call Great Brazilian Songbook—classics by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chico Buarque, Dorival Caymmi, Ivan Lins, Ary Barroso and their ilk—but focusing mainly on B-sides rather than greatest-hits and giving them an infusion of LA jazz...

The "Lado B" idea includes not only B-sides but also works by composers deserving of wider recognition, including Delia Fischer. Click the YouTube below for Fischer's "Aluvião" (Floodwaters), a standout track on Lado B Brazilian Project 2. For more on Fischer, read our review of her Beyond Bossa (Origin, 2024) here.

The second half of the program continues a well-deserved outpouring of love for our dear departed jazz canary, Sheila Jordan, with selections from Flexible Flyer (Black Lion, 1974) a gloriously off-the-beaten-path recording she made with trombonist Roswell Rudd, pianist Hod O'Brien, bassist Arild Andersen and drummer Barry Altschul.

And for a teaser... Our first set this week includes composer-singer-pianist Delia Fischer 's intriguing "Your Voice in My Head" (from Beyond Bossa , Origin, 2024), with English lyrics by Allen Morrison.
