Much improvisation, leaving exactly the stipulated parameters of the jazz, and a solid rhythmic alicerçamento is the basic characteristics of project, the one that if the resource adds the styles and techniques proceeding from some ethnic traditions, appointedly of Tuva, in Siberia, of India and Klezmer.
