Federico Britos is the rare internationally known jazz musician from the Southern Cone. Classically trained in Uruguay, he has worked with many of Latin America's cross-genre innovators, including Astor Piazzolla, Joao Gilberto and Tania Libertad. Here in the U.S., he's worked with Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington and Charlie Haden, among many others.

In 2002, Britos recorded an album of duets with Cuban pianist Bebo Valdes called We Could Make Such Beautiful Music, and indeed they do. Jazz and bolero classics make the album a loving tribute, not just to the songs but to the mastery of these two musicians. This cut is a Britos original included among the other songwriting masters.
