1976

From Billboard - October 9, 1976: The music of Brazilian Egbert Gismonit, who also plays on the LP, is the thematic constant of this LP. Horn concentrates on flute and captures the sometimes haunting, sometimes muscular essence of this very Brazilian and very jazzy music. Gismonti is by no means merely a bossa nova latecomer. His music can be as unearthly as the classical compositions of Vila-Lobos or a fast-flying as any jazz heroics. Horn Seems perfectly attuned to each of the composer's moods and the production of veteran Two Macero recalls his great albums with Miles Davis and the big band of Gil Evans as they explored music of Spain and other exotic sources.
