Sorte! is the title track of the 2020 Grammy® nominated album in Best Latin Jazz. It marks the first collaboration between Latin Grammy and Grammy nominated composer John Finbury and Afro-Brazilian singer-songwriter-actress Thalma de Freitas, whose early co-writing credits include Brazilian household names like João Donato and Céu. Sorte! is a love letter about serendipity, how "great mistakes also mean luck", uplifting the feelings of trust in the Universe, which always has our back and conspires in favor of Love. The classic explanation of serendipity reads “Luck is when opportunity finds us prepared". This GRAMMY® nominated album was produced by Latin Grammy winner Emilio D. Miler, who assembled an all-star band for this recording, featuring: Vitor Gonçalves - piano & rhodes Chico Pinheiro - guitar John Patitucci - bass Duduka da Fonseca - drums Airto Moreira - percussion SORTE! music by John Finbury lyrics by Thalma de Freitas produced by Emilio D.
