Last Journey

It took 8 years to develop this concept of music with no label, no discrimination and no boundaries. The musicianship in this album is superb and it will bring back great musical moments and the raw energy of the music of this century. Every member of the new Fourth World can stand on their own as well as being an integral part of the ensemble. Our long time contributor bass player, Gary Brown and the great arranger keyboardist from Brazil, Luis Avellar and Widor Santiago, one of the best Brazilian reed men at this moment, and also special guest master Latin percussionist, Giovani Hidalgo all have a part to play. To me, this group of musicians together formed one of the best groups Airto and I had a chance to experience in the last 10 years.........

This Last Journey was a rollercoaster of emotions you will clearly perceive on songs like 'Silvia' and 'Little Tear' as well as the classic 'Light As A Feather'. We also dared to visit the mansion of the future where our children are growing up smarter, taller and faster than us. You will notice it in songs like 'Capoeira Da Mente', 'Within Your Mind', 'Trip to the Fourth World' and 'Terra Mae'. There is one instrumental cut which was written by one our favorite drummers, Paulo Braga entitled 'Serra Do Relogio', and also a Brazilian composition by Geraldo Vandre, one of Airto’s favorite of all times entitled 'Fica Mal Com Deus'. A bonus percussion track produced and performed by Airto Moreira, Giovanni Hidalgo, was finally named 'Snake Bite'.
