South American harpist Robert Perera is in top form in this new release, "In The Mood." This is smooth South American jazz at its finest. Guest musicians on this beautiful and lyrical CD include the gifted Tim Redfield on keyboards, guitarists Peter White and Marc Antoine and Richard Smith, Tony Guerrero on flugel horn, Greg Vail on saxophone, Tom Lilly on bass, Dave Hooper on drums, Scott Breadman and John Mahon on percussion. A perfect dream team for this CD!

This is the type of CD that can be played over and over again, and something new and refreshing discovered each time it is played! The selections include "Take Your time," "Hermosa," "A La Mode," "Love The Way," "Insatiable," "Seven Bridges," "Joja" (composed by Perera), which is a song deserving much air play on the jazz stations, and "Coming Home," "Six A.M.," "Free Fall."

The sensitivity and beauty Robert Perera brings to this CD is almost beyond description. Roberto Perera has put together a very unique CD, filled with good taste, good jazz, sensitivity, and excellent performances by each musician. "In The Mood" is precisely that, an excellent jazz CD that deserves much airplay. The selection, "Seven Bridges," is another unusual work on this CD which will catch the listener's attention! Without doubt, Roberto Perera is the world's greatest living jazz performer on the Paraguayan harp. This CD would make an excellent gift, especially for your personal Valentine on Valentine's Day. This CD would make a wonderful gift any time of the year!
