Like Coltrane's interpretation of Ary Barroso's immortal composition, "Bahia," Gato Barbieri makes it utterly his own. Accompanied by excellent Latin percussionists and berimbau (Nana Vasconcelos?), Barbieri turns this into a jazz freewheeler without losing touch with the Afro-Brazilian "essence." The use of the upper register of his horn does not clash at all with this melodic number.
