Simply put, pianist Lori Mecham’s ‘Brazilian Christmas’ is one of our favorite Brazilian-themed holiday CDs – a beautifully crafted instrumental set which combines the natural elegance of the Bossa beat with the quiet charm of these end-of-year evergreens.

This album plays like new fallen snow and Mechem (who is a stalwart of the Nashville music scene and a big Brazilian music fan) leads this talent-laden group through a well ordered play list of well-known favorites plus a few originals. The recording quality is top notch and the light, jazzy arrangements are filled with enough surprises to keep you smiling throughout the holidays.

Musically, Brazil shares its Christmas traditions with many of our modern American and old-world European melodies. How interesting that producer Jeff Steinberg would understand that by blending the warmth of Brazil with the crispness of a Christmas morning it would result in the perfect atmosphere for our holiday season!

Released too late in the 2005 season for us to include in our Connectbrazil e-store, this CD was nevertheless a standout favorite during our annual ‘A Brazilian Christmas’ webcasts and its debut here marks the beginning of a long love affair with fans of Brazilian music around the world.
