Product Description
Featuring: Charlie Rouse, Ron Carter, Bernard Purdie, Claudio Roditi, Dom Salvador, Amaury Tristao Brazil possesses one of the richest musical cultures in the world. Musica Popular Brasileira, its highly sophisticated pop music, is a potent, sensuous melange of historical influences. Its rhythmic vitality is derived from an exotic blend of native Indian rattlers, shakers and pan pipes; the hot, impassioned drumming of African Candomble rituals; and the languid, subtle Portuguese guitar. A passion for georgeous melodies, performed from the heart, has made this irresitible music internationally renowned. Rouse1s recognition within the jazz community attests to his meaningful contribution to the tradition. His playing on Brazil is characterized by clear, crisp, bouncy articulation; angular melodic style; and swinging phrasing. His improvisations are crystallized, elegant simplicity, pared down to essentials, somewhere between bop and mature swing.
