"Trumpeter Claudio Roditi brings an earnest understanding of his Brazilian
homeland's music to the table . it's exceptionally well done and stands well
on its own."
~ Todd Jenkins, Down Beat
"Light in the Dark is the second recording from this innovative and engaging
trio. In 2003, I reviewed their first Nagel-Heyer release, Three for One
(341) ... I really liked their debut CD, and I'm happy to report that this a
worthy followup. ... The drum-less format is still airy and light, and the
music still intrigues and satisfies. But where the first disc was "full of
moonlight," this one is squarely lit by the sun, revealing somewhat sharper
edges and brighter energies. .While Light in the Dark stands tall on its
own, it also makes an excellent companion to Three for One - almost the yin
to the other's yang. The first is perfect for relaxing on the couch, while
this new one helps to finally get off it. Either way, this is consistently
delicious music, expertly played."
