‘In the Weave’ is the second album of composer, arranger and 7-string guitarist Luiz Morais. With all original compositions and arrangements, this is the work of a true melodist, drawing from the Brazilian tradition forged by the likes of Tom Jobim, Baden Powell and Moacir Santos and weaving new threads and connections to contemporary Jazz. From the unique rhythmic force of the Brazilian guitar tradition, Morais builds his intricate and vibrant weave of sounds. Masterfully produced by legendary Brazilian trombonist and arranger Vittor Santos (The Ipanemas), it features top instrumentalists including Marcio Bahia (Hermeto Pascoal) on drums, Marcelo Martins (Djavan) on flutes/alto sax and Alberto Palau (Perico Sambeat, Charles McPherson) on piano.
