The Brazil project featured Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin leading the band, with Abraham Laboriel and myself on the rhythm section.
The special guests: Daniel Jobim did a beautiful job singing and playing some of his grandfather's greatest songs, and we had two great singers joining the band - Lisa Ono for the Japan dates, and Céu for the show in Miami. In the Miami date, the great Paulinho da Costa joined the band also.
