On his widely praised 2005 album Rodgers in Rio, Roger Davidson set Richard Rodgers standards in bossa settings, led by his tuneful, jazz-inspired piano playing. Now, in BOM DIA (Portuguese for "good day"), he weds his own songs to a full range of samba rhythms, from the percussive Carnaval style to the delicate murmur of the bossa nova. Here is a must-have album of romantic jazz, a love poem to Brasil - a country that has produced some of the world's most bewitching tunes.

Uniting the same trio which includes legendary drummer Paulo Braga and first-call jazz bassist, David Finck, BOM DIA is a world class recording.
