Comments on the album (from the 2005 CD booklet, in Portuguese):
"Suingue também não falta à surpreeendente
estréia da pianista Paula Faour. Ocupando o banquinho que
já foi do fera Dom Salvador no antigo Copa Trio ao lado de Dom
Um e Gusmão, a noviça esbanja personalidade".
Tárik de Souza, Jornal do Brasil maio de 2003.
"No último número da Swing Journal, principal revista
de música do Japão, vários trabalhos de
brasileiros brilham na retrospectiva de 2003....entre os melhores CDs
de jazz está Cool Bossa Struttin', da pianista Paula Faour,
contemplado com quatro estrelas".
Marcia Peltier, dezembro de 2003.
"A genialidade de Faour está em sua enorme personalidade
musical, seu toque melódico e seu ouvido para improvisos, e a
cereja do bolo é o bom gosto em tudo que faz".
Ronaldo Evangelista, Jazz+
"O piano de Paula Faour tem alma própria; é a
própria alma dessa brilhante pianista e arranjadora que tanto
bem faz ao coração de quem, como eu, tem o prazer e o
privilégio de ouví-la, a trocar confidências com o
instrumento de sua estimação.
Paula e seu piano têm tal intimidade um com o outro que eu
não hesitaria em dizer que são duas criaturas numa
só. Dedos e teclas que se encontram e se entrelaçam na
mesma aventura de sons e de enlevo.
Em suma: o piano de Paula Faour tem olhos verdes e um sorriso de tocante poesia".

Acknowledgments from Mario Castro-Neves:
Thanks to my wife, ”Mara My Love”, for all the support, love, and
inspiration she has given me during all the years we’ve been together.
Thanks to my loving cousins, Fernando & Gilda Gatti, and my
childhood friends, Silvio & Lilian Nogueira, for their advice,
support, love, and putting up with me when I stayed at their homes in
“My Rio.”
Thanks to my wonderful friends Ithamara Koorax, Ana Zinger, Manuel
Gusmão (another childhood friend), Cesar Machado (a new friend) whose
great talent and enthusiasm inspired very lively and exciting recording
sessions.
And, finally, thanks to my good friend, producer Arnaldo DeSouteiro,
who has been my greatest fan for many years, for his dedication,
professionalism and love of Brazilian music, and to whom I dedicate
this album.

NY, June 6, 2004
Acknowledgements from Arnaldo DeSouteiro:
Firstly, “2004 Thanks” to the legendary Brazilian music historian and
radio DJ, Simon Khoury, for introducing me to Mario Castro-Neves’
artistry, back in 1973, through Castro-Neves’ “Brazilian Mood” LP. His
superb orchestrations on that masterpiece album would be enough to
place Mario Castro-Neves among the best arrangers in the music history,
alongside Sebesky, Ogerman, Mancini, Legrand, Schifrin, Mandel, Gil
Evans, Deodato and Gaya. It is a privilege and a great honor to work
with him!
Mr. Khoury used to give airplay, at JB-AM radio station, to such songs
as “Helena And I” and “The Whole Mess” (both from “Brazilian Mood”). I
could never dream that, thirty years later, I would produce new
versions of these gorgeous tunes.
Very special heartfelt thanks also to Shinji Fushiguro (big help!),
Takashi Horiuchi, Kaz Sawatari, Shioji Mori and everyone at Rambling
Records for believing in this project.
And, last but not least, “Thank you” Ithamara Koorax for giving me, as always, all your time and love.
