EGBERTO GISMONTI - Sol do Meio Dia (1977) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

After his 1976 debut on ECM, the stunning Danca Das Cabecas with percussionist Naná Vasconcelos, Gismonti returned the following year with this impressive combo outing. Actually, the album consists of a mix of solo pieces and cuts with various partners, in both duo and trio formats. He penned all the material and shines throughout. The guest do the same, with special mention going to guitarist Ralph Towner, percussionist Colin Walcott, tenor saxophonist Jan Garbarek, and Vasconcelos. Highly recommended. by Stephen Cook

Notes
"The music on this album is dedicated to Sapain and Xingu Indians, whose teachings were so important to me during the time I spent with them in the Amazon jungle, its color and mysteries; the sun, the moon, the rain and the winds, the river and the fish, the sky and the birds, but most of all the integration of musician, music and instrument into an undivided whole."
