Marcos and the other Brazilian luminaries Adrian and Ali hosted for Jazz Is Dead, are able to create an entirely different sound and feel using the exact same palette.

Throughout the album Marcos sings in his trademark percussive and melodic style ("wa-di-do-bem, ba di da we da bem"), a distinctly Brazilian take on vocalese.

Like the sweet and foreign sounds coming out of his mouth, Marcos and the other Brazilian luminaries Adrian and Ali hosted for Jazz Is Dead, are able to create an entirely different sound and feel using the exact same palette.

"It was really interesting how we can play the same instruments, listen to the same music and they can still have their distinctly Brazilian flavor that we admire so, so, so much," Adrian effuses.

"And to just hear our influences mix with theirs and to make something brand new is a dream come true."
