In the years since the release of its debut Blue Night in 2013, Philadelphia-based Ensemble Novo has refined a sound that's perfectly suited to its primary inspiration – music made in Brazil during the 1960s and early 70s.

It's a sound built on contrasts – the crystalline clarity of the vibraphone crossed with the husky introspection of tenor saxophone, the warmth of nylon string guitar woven into the crisp pulse of samba percussion. As is true of so much from Brazil, this is music that encourages (and sometimes demands) dancing, but is equally suited to contemplative listening.

Note:  The above descriptive information came from the group's Bio page.
