MAXJAZZ is pleased to introduce its new series - the "band series" - with a live recording of the band Trio Da Paz and Joe Locke. Voted by the German magazine, "Jazzthetik", as one of the most outstanding concert events of 2007, Live at JazzBaltica captures a memorable performance at the festival in Salzau, Germany. Trio Da Paz features three of Brazil's most-in-demand musicians including guitarist and MAXJAZZ recording artist Romero Lubambo, bassist Nilson Matta and drummer Duduka Da Fonseca. Joe Locke is regarded by many to be the most gifted vibraphonist of his generation. The recording was produced by all four musicians and features five original compositions and three standards.
