Featuring the legendary saxophonist George Coleman, "Surfboard" is a Brazilian Jazz album showcasing Brandi's inventive writing, power-socket bass playing, and sweet ethereal vocals. With the definitive Brazilian drummer Portinho (performed with Astrid Gilberto, Tania Maria, Airto Moreira, Herbie Mann, Charlie Rouse, Nancy Wilson, Harry Belafonte, and Paquito De Rivera to name a few) and the pearly genius of pianist Klaus Mueller, this trio shines with slick vignette arrangements paying homage to composers from Carlos Jobim to bassist Sam Jones.
