Chiclete Com Banana, the first recorded work by the trio, is a representation of the repertoire they performed weekly to enthusiastic audiences at Georgia Browns Jazz Brunch for ten years. This combination of Brazilian music, American Jazz and Pop features such composers as A.C. Jobim, Duke Ellington, Rodgers and Hart, Djavan, Suzanne Vega, Joao Bosco, Baden Powell, Hoagy Carmichael and more.

Gonzalez, Tobey and Wilentz each have been applauded by The Washington Post: The Nicki Gonzalez Band's "Spilt Milk" (featuring Tobey on drums, winner of the 2001 WAMMY for Contemporary Jazz Band), Wilentz's efforts with Pam Bricker on "U-topia" (winner of the 2001 WAMMY for Best Contemporary Jazz Recording) and his own highly successful recording "The Wayne Wilentz Trio....e nossos amigos". Chiclete com Banana is available on-line or at any Trio Balança performance."
