Maestro is an album by Brazilian composer Moacir Santos recorded in 1972 and released on the Blue Note label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Jason Ankeny awarded the album 3½ stars stating "For his Blue Note debut, Maestro, Brazilian composer Moacir Santos assiduously avoids his homeland's familiar bossa nova and samba rhythms, instead reinventing lesser-known idioms like baião and frevo to create his own complex yet pulsating signatures and cadences".[2] The All About Jazz review by C. Andrew Hovan said "Without a doubt, Maestro established Santos as an artist to be reckoned with and while the record probably skirted just below the radar of the average jazz listener, two more Blue Notes would be in the offing".[3]
