Influential American guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel opted to radically change direction in Caipi, a Brazilian jazz fusion record whose concept and compositions had been worked on over the last ten years.
Accompanying the virtuoso guitarist, who also sings and plays bass, keyboards, and percussion, are international artists of undeniable quality.

On the bandstand with the Brooklynite pianist were his habitual associates in these voyages to the African continent: the entrancing tenor saxophonist Billy Harper, whose in/out concept and rugged timbre have always amazed me; the energetic TK Blue on alto sax and flute; the bassist Alex Blake, whose vehement strumming and tapping had impact on the crowd even when his bass was facing technical issues; the reliable Lewis Nash on drums, and the percussionist Neil Clarke, who likes to provoke

In order to give each other support, I noticed that the band members gave each other eye contacts occasionally; the two electric guitarists even fist bump each other to show encouragement.
