The Feature CD of the Week is by Nilson Matta. It's called Nilson Matta's Black Orpheus and it is a fantastic disk.

It is full of great Brazilian tunes from the great composers, mostly A. C. Jobim, and great musicians like Randy Brecker, Kenny Barron, and Gretchen Parlato just to name a few.

It features tunes of different tempos, and a few killer vocals. The tune titles are in Portuguese which will be difficult to understand for those who don't know it, but the music is worth it.
