Another Feeling (Excerpts)
"I''ve been listening to "ANOTHER FEELING". It really grows on you. I''m just terrifically impressed with the whole production. I think it is probably the recording of the year for me. I liked it from the start, but I put it aside to listen to other stuff, meaning to get back to it for further listening, and it was only recently that I did so. But when I listened to it I was more and more taken with it, until finally I was listening to it every day. Right now, I think my favorite piece is the title piece (Another Feeling) especially Korman''s bluesy piano. I think the folks need to know more about this great record! As a matter of fact, everybody on this record sounds great -- Ithamara Koorax has a great voice, great style, and I love all of those piano players.

Jazz Hot, # 637 (March/ 2007) France
A little time has gone by (see Jazz Hot n0 628; April/2006) since JSR re-edited Thiago de Mello''s first record, Amazon, released in 1973. Time passes, and Thiago continues. The music has changed a great deal since then but the person, the multi-instrumentalist, the poet, the Man are still here. This newest disc is moving, a kind of Latin blues, not just Brazilian, even though the music is a blending of good jazz and Brazilian music‹it is another feeling, soaring over Payne'' s clarinet or alto saxophone. After an introduction, a nostalgic evocation of his younger years, Thiago traces his life‹Life. An homage to Gil Evans ("A Hug for Gil Evans") for the awareness that he raised to the music of Brazil; a gospel hymn ("An Evening Prayer") sung by Itamara Koorax, reminding us that in a very Catholic Latin America, some minorities opted, with difficulty, for other churches‹like Thiago''s family, influenced by American missionaries who had made their way into the Amazon. This same theme is echoed in the bonus track "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." And de M
ello''s life continues; his life and his invovements told in two lovely renditions: "Another Feeling," written in 1967 when Che Gueverra was killed in Bolivia, and "The Exile Song," an homage to all the victims of the Latin American dictatorships from Nicaragua to Chile. Itamara Koomax, once again, is excellent in these two pieces. "Kimbolian Dawn" and "Two (or Too) Good Notes" along with "What About That?" are the most lively on this disc‹and they swing. "Lonely Piano" and "Mar Aberto" form a duet evoking the nostalgia of a period when Thiago was living in downtown New York City.

"When I heard Mr. Thiago de Mello play his works on the guitar, I was truly amazed! His perfect conception of harmony in coordination with the proper bass is simple remarkable! This precious gift, this rare ability to sense and to feel every minute harmonic changes in supporting the melody was so expertly executed, that I received the utmost pleasure when listening to Mr. Thiago de Mello''s playing. A truly unique talent!!!"
Jacques Press, conductor and composer
"Bravo! Recently I heard the guitar playing of the musician-composer Thiago de Mello and was struck by the incredible purity of sound emanating from his instrument. It sounded, in softer sections, like the gentle strummings of a lute. In the more bravura parts, it had a strong, rich guitar quality.... Again, ''bravo''."
