"American keyboardist Kimson Plaut draws upon his 11-year residency in Brazil... and a close relationship with many of Brazilian jazz's best practitioners for his elegantly crafted UBATUBA. But it's Plaut's understated pianistics, with a nod to Jobim's melodicism, that ensures the session's slow-burn ambiance". - Mark Holston, JAZZIZ Magazine (December '97) "Plaut fills his plate with everything from funky samba beats to bossa nova ballads... With an acoustic clarity of thought, I applaud his ability to articulate what he has to say with superb technique and harmonic taste... Driving rhythms and impressive original compositions make this well worth searching out". - Jesse Varela, Latin Beat Magazine (March '97) |
"Ubatuba is a rare paragon in Brazilian instrumental music. The evocative images and Kimson's stirringly heartfelt performances are a consummate portrait of the Brazilian soul". - Egidio Leitão, Luna Kafe (Feb '98) |

UBATUBA, Kimson's first release on the LPC Music label, features eight original compositions, plus the musical participation of Paquito D'Rivera, Leny Andrade, and Romero Lubambo. Kimson's music is a fusion of the rich diversity of Brazilian rhythms (samba, baião, choro, afoxe) with the complexities of American jazz harmony. |
