"He's an old and dear friend and after he left the states to go to Brazil, he proceeded on to become quite a well-known and respected musician. He has been playing consistently with great mentors, but he always had that Brazilian street energy and had talent, even when we met all those years ago," recollects Wood.

Tonight, together with Emmanuel Simon (percussion), Aron Nyiro (drums) and Karim Ellaboudi, the two will perform Latin American jazz standards with a lot of Afro-Brazilian and Cuban grooves, with three percussionists on stage.

So, what's it like playing together after all these years? "There are so many emotions, it's amazing; plus it means a lot to have a close friend for so long. He's always been an inspiration, as a musician as well as a human being. I've found playing with him to be a learning experience," Baptista shares. "It's so natural. We started our journeys together in the US. So, this feels like a homecoming," concludes Wood.
