There is a lot going on this week in my music world, for starters, I'm working with Brazilian bass and production legend Liminha, which came to New York with documentarist Isabella Nicolas to capture some shots for a documentary about this incredible musician.
We are taking advantage of the moment and we are recording a couple of tracks at The Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan, once owned by Jimmy Hendrix.
Marivaldo dos Santos will be playing some Brazilian percussion and making a special free style rap... I am going to play tenor sax and am also involved in the production side of it.
