“Brazilian Wish” is a fantastic CD featuring tightly played, captivating arrangements performed by a group of top flight New York City professionals. The band is perfectly suited to backing up trumpet/flugelhorn player Matt Finley in his solo explorations of his own compositions. Matt is a truly natural player; i.e., an “ear” player whose musicianship is on par with the great band he’s surrounded himself with. His solos are smooth, perfectly executed and always logical.” - Kelly Conner (pro pianist, composer & music prof)
