The project coincides with Lins’s 80th birthday and reflects Keberle’s deep admiration for the composer, whom he calls “a masterful fusion of sophistication and soul.” The selections highlight lesser-known pieces from Lins’s extensive catalog, interpreted through inventive new arrangements.

Musicians: Ryan Keberle on trombone, vocals; Felipe Silveira on piano, synths, vocals; Felipe Brisola on bass, vocals; and Paulinho Vicente on drums, vocals.
