Surfboard

Surfboard is saxophonist Mike Tracys sixth recording as a leader and it is a particularly special project. Having been to Brazil many times, he has grown to love the spirit of the music, with its different rhythms and expressive melodies. Surfboard is a collection of infrequently played (at least in the United States) Brazilian standards and originals with an all Brazilian rhythm section. Tracy and his bandmates expose the listener to a variety of styles that one rarely encounters in the U.S.
