JAZZY BRAZILIAN GROOVES, SUNG IN ENGLISH
"Paulo's style is never too smooth nor too derivative -- and the album's [Trying to fool destiny] got an easygoing sense of grace that reminds us of some of the best west coast fusions of jazz and Brazilian rhythms that were coming out of California a few decade's back."
Dusty Groove America
BREEZY GUITAR, AND BREEZY VOCALS TO MATCH
"The sound [album Sine qua non] here takes us back to that great point when American jazz vocalists were really experimenting with Brazilian styles in the 70s -- not just aping older bossa modes, but coming up with a fresh new blend of rhythms and instrumentation, topped with well-penned lyrics in English."
