Master drummer Duduka Da Fonseca and his Rio-based Trio, interpreting
Brazilian Samba Jazz compositions by North American jazz icons Keith
Jarrett, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and others.
Duduka
Da Fonseca has been hailed as one of the leading drummer/band leaders
in Brazilian Samba Jazz, re-uniting here with his Brazil-based Trio for
their third ZOHO CD release, in ten exquisite arrangements, including
"Jive Samba", "Sco's Bossa" and "Speak Like a Child".
Since his
arrival in New York in 1975, Da Fonseca has performed with, and has
appeared as a sideman on over 200 CDs, with North American jazz greats
Joe Henderson, Tom Harrell, John Scofield, Gerry Mulligan, Claudio
Roditi, Phil Woods, Kenny Barron, Joe Lovano and many more.
Da
Fonseca has toured internationally with Brazilian legends Antonio Carlos
Jobim and singer Astrud Gilberto, and formed the outstanding Brazilian
jazz group Trio da Paz with guitarist Romero Lubambo and bassist Nilson
Matta.
AN EVERLASTING LOVE AFFAIR
The
wealthy Rio de Janeiro soccer impresario Arnaldo Guinle sponsored the
first European tour in 1922 of the legendary innovator of modern
Brazilian Choro, Alfredo da Rocha Viana, Jr., aka Pixinguinha, and his
very important and entertaining band known as Os Oito Batutas (The
Magnificent Eight). The songwriter, composer, arranger, and
saxophonist/flutist Pixinguinha and the Os Oito Batutas served as
trail-blazing ambassadors for Brazilian music and culture as they
performed for a historic six-month residency in the Scheherazade Cabaret
in Paris in 1922.
It was during that monumental nightclub engagement
over 90 years ago that one of the most inspired and productive
relationships in the last century of modern music making started to
catch fire: an eternally passionate and mutual love affair between
Brazilian music and American jazz. There is a wonderful legend about
another great Giant of American Music, Louis Armstrong, meeting
Pixinguinha during that magical time in Paris. What is most important to
know is that these two creative forefathers both played a centrally
vital role in developing and nurturing our music with the enormity of
their hearts and souls.
Since forming his first samba jazz trios and
all star bands in the mid 1960s, including being a co-founder of the
landmark ensemble Trio Da Paz, master drummer Duduka Da Fonseca has done
far more than most in combining American jazz and the heart of
Brazilian music, shining the bright light of his soulful swing on what
is most uplifting and heartwarming in both cultures. This music is all
about abiding love and friendship. The fundamental idea for this special
project was germinated after a conversation between Duduka and his
friend David Benechis, a Brazilian lawyer and writer, several years ago
while Duduka was visiting his hometown, Rio de Janeiro: magical
interpretations of Brazilian-inspired compositions by major American
jazz composers such as Keith Jarrett, Joe Henderson, Clare Fischer, and
John Scofield .zohomusic.com
