2008 Caminando The record is a magnificent, personal daydream with two vocal parts woven around melodies written by Machado or arrangements of fado songs. It is a minor miracle of delicacy, sparseness of expression and restrained lyricism. (La Terrasse) After his Andaloucia sextet, Jean-Marie Machado continues to explore his roots and brings in Dave Liebman for a plunge into the nostalgic world of Portuguese fado. The pair have a genuine synergy going on, the one rising to the other’s level in a show of very profound expression. This is vintage Liebman, as he constantly strives to raise his degree of articulation. Without a doubt, this music should really take off in concert (Jazzman) Dense, original and with a very accomplished variety of atmospheres, the album presents a repertoire familiar to the pianist (four original pieces he wrote and three Portuguese songs), which immediately appealed to the saxophonist, so he says. Its undeniable success is based on Dave Liebman’s total commitment and the complementarity of the two musicians (Jazz magazine) |
