  • My favorite CD
    author: T. Aso, Fukuoka, Japan

    Time is so gentle, and so is his music. It brings nostalgia and a time of beauty, healing and comfort. His melody creates a space for soothing a lonesome soul. In darkness I found a blanket. Love flows tenderly through this CD. 時間はとても優しく穏やかに流れます・・・そして彼の音楽も。彼の音楽はノスタルジアや美しさと癒しと心地よさの時間を呼びおこし、そのメロディーは孤独な魂を慰める空間を与えてくれる。暗闇の中、私は温かなブランケットを見つけました。愛がこのCDに優しく流れています。

  • What a gifted pianist and singer!
    author: Ines de Souza

    I loved the songs. I am brazilian and I was happy to listen to this great selection. This CD is amazing and I intend to buy a few more as gifts!

  • Puts you onto the beaches of brazil.
    author: little goose music

    This cd really takes you away with Bill's sensitive vocals and piano work. A very tastily produced cd that is a new look at an old feeling.

  • Evocative Originals, Soulful Portuguese Vocals, Major Chops, & Leaves Space
    author: William B Mersereau

    Distinctive Jazz trio sound features evocative originals & Soulful Portuguese Vocals. This piano player has major chops & as a leader is quite adept at leaving space for his bandmates on bass & percussion to shine.
