Ricardo Baldacci, Brothers in Swing is the second career album of the singer/guitarist, and to this day the first national record with jazz guitarist and legend, American Bucky Pizzarelli. The collaborative project also includes bassist Martin Pizzarelli, who christened the CD, and Australian pianist Konrad Paszkudzki. Baldacci is one of the few representatives of Swing Jazz in Brazil and a longtime admirer of the Pizzarelli family. In May of 2014, he was invited to play at a festival in Manhattan by Lenny White and met Bucky Pizzarelli, one of the patriarchs of jazz guitar. On the occasion, he met the sound engineer Bill Moss and commented on the utopian possibility of recording an album with his idols. In January 2015, Ricardo wrote to Bill asking if there would be a chance to realize that project they had spoken about. The answer came in two weeks, with the already scheduled recording dates. Ricardo Baldacci made a brief selection of songs, wrote some arrangements and went to New York 15 days later.
Recorded in two sessions at the Samurai Hotel Studios in Queens, NY, Brothers in Swing takes place in a mood of spontaneity and camaraderie and has the swing as a trademark. It is a great tribute from Baldacci to the music of the Pizzarelli family, which repays the same proportion to the Brazilian artist. Once again, like his previous CD, Baldacci chose to preserve, in most bands, the sound of the trio without drums (bass-acoustic, piano, guitar / vocals) that alternates between arrangements of guitar duos and Voice, piano and voice, as well as solo guitar numbers. The CD features in 17 tracks, a series of classical compositions, as well as two original works by Ricardo Baldacci and one in partnership with Martin Pizzarelli and Konrad Paszkudzi. In the repertoire, there is a wide variety: swing, ballads and novelty songs - songs such as In a Mellow Tone (Duke Ellington), Embraceable You (Gershwin) and Route 66 (Bobby Troup), among other standards. They some unknown as the little recorded Call The Police (Nat King Cole). Brothers in Swing is a tribute to the joy and sonority typical of the Swing Jazz, an album full of thrilling inspirational performances and a full plate for lovers of the Great American Songbook.
