Review by teNeues Books

Eduardo Neves' album Gafieira De Bolso is a delightful collection of Brazilian instrumental music that is sure to transport listeners straight to the vibrant streets of Rio de Janeiro. The album features Neves' virtuosic flute playing, accompanied by a talented band that includes guitar, bass, drums, and percussion.

The album opens with the upbeat and infectious "Sambossa," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Neves' flute dances playfully over the driving rhythm section, creating a joyful and energetic sound that is impossible to resist. Other standout tracks include "Baião De 4," a lively tune that showcases the band's impressive improvisational skills, and "Saudades Do Rio," a beautiful ballad that highlights Neves' expressive and lyrical playing.

Throughout the album, Neves and his band demonstrate a deep understanding and appreciation for the rich musical traditions of Brazil, while also adding their own unique flair and improvisational twists. The result is a collection of music that is both timeless and fresh, and a testament to Neves' skill as a musician and bandleader.
