In this performance
recorded in Genoa, Italy, Paulo talks about an idea, or a dream he had
about a meeting between Pixinguinha and Duke Ellington in heaven.
Theirs is a dialogue in which each one expresses his ideas through sound.
Here the terrestrial interpreters of this celestial encounter are Paulo
Moura and Cliff Korman. The result is luscious medley in which
Paulo and Cliff not only translate, but develop a common musical language
that crosses the equator and spans the two Americas.
