Particularly in ugly times, you need something lovely and inspiring in your life. Nando plays various instruments and sings like an angel. He toured with the last incarnation of the Pat Metheny Group, on the Way Up tour. Nando recorded two albums of his own, and they’re available as 2-for-1, a buy you can’t pass up. If you loved the PMG sound in the mid to late-eighties (First Circle, Still Life talking, Letter from Home), you’ll love this. On both albums, every track is a winner. Lyle Mays stops by to help out on a track or two, also. I have no idea what happened to Nando within the music industry. These albums are a decade or two old, and he doesn’t seem to have done anything else. Anyone know?

After i got hooked on Pat’s Group work, I was desperate for more between releases and of course found that nobody else has the sound. It’s like finding another Beatles or another Sinatra. But Nando’s work came perhaps closest to the late eighties Metheny sound, so immersed in Brazilian melody and passion. It’s not as brilliant from a compositional perspective, of course, but it’s excellent and consistent in that excellence. Far too good for him to just disappear from the scene. My wife and I have listened over and over, and are thankful at least for what we have.

Not as high a bit rate as I prefer, but it’s amazoo, so what’re you gonna do? Both are indeed joyous albums. I must’ve seen Nando on TWU tour, but I wasn’t aware of who he was back then. Now I’m listening to "Revival" off "Novo Brasil," which has some sonic affinity with "First Circle." Much of both records shows Pat’s influence, which isn’t surprising. BTW, I located the personnel on "Points of View," but if anyone can list who plays on "Novo Brasil" it would be much appreciated.

Over the years of Pat’s groups and trios I’ve tried to find band members own material. when I first saw on DVD The Way Up I checked out Nando and Gregoire Maret, I have been a fan Toots for ages so Maret can fill that space for me now Of course Lyle’s there’s work, David Blamires has some interesting stuff. Steve Rodby lead me to The Impossible Gentlemen. That lead to Gwilym Simcock, Pedro Aznar, particularly a track with Pat and Dan Gottlieb called Verano en Nueva Inglaterra. Paul Wertico’s stuff is mainly avant-garde as with Cuong Vu
