Brazilian trumpet master Claudio Roditi takes flight both as composer and soloist in this lively samba, demonstrating why he was in such demand as a New York session player. After a relaxed, thoughtful drum intro, the spirited samba tempo gains traction as Claudio launches into the head and solo. His phrasing is free and cliché-free, as his horn sings with a clear voice, never strident or jarring. Helio Alves follows with an electrifying chorus on piano, without dropping the airborne feel of the rhythm. "Dinner by Five" is a welcome feast for the heart and mind.
