For the Moment

• Track Listing

While Carvalho is constantly reminiscent of the days of Gilberto's samba, he is never trying to emulate the sound entirely. It's his own take on the basic framework of samba... an outstanding example of a contemporary piece of mood music. Brazilian composer & guitarist Marco de Carvalho brings together his longtime musical family for a set of thoughtful and introspective originals. A graduate of the Brazilian Music Conservatory, Marco was taught by Juarez Carvalho, whom he considers his greatest mentor of the guitar. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, he now resides Seattle.
