TAMBA TRIO - Tamba Trio (1966-2007) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

O Tamba Trio foi um conjunto musical formado na década de 1960. Formado originalmente por Luiz Eça (piano, vocal e arranjos), Bebeto Castilho (contrabaixo, flauta, sax e vocal) e Helcio Milito (bateria, percussão e vocal), o Tamba Trio começou a tomar forma ainda acompanhando a cantora Maysa e depois a cantora Leny Andrade em uma temporada na boate Manhattan, atuando ao lado de Luiz Carlos Vinhas (piano) e Roberto Menescal (violão). A partir de 1967, com a entrada do baixista Dório Ferreira, Bebeto passaria a atuar apenas como flautista, transformando assim o trio no quarteto Tamba 4. Dois anos depois, com a saída de Luiz Eça, que formaria o seu grupo "A Sagrada Família", o pianista Laércio de Freitas entra em seu lugar. O quarteto duraria até 1970. Só em 1972, o Tamba Trio retorna com os três integrantes originais, gravando dois discos pela gravadora RCA. Em 1976, mais um intervalo, e seis anos depois, o grupo volta, fazendo apresentações e gravando o LP "Tamba Trio 20 Anos de Sucesso". A partir de 1989, o baterista Rubens Ohana, que já tinha feito parte do Tamba Trio, se reintegra a este conjunto, substituindo Hélcio Milito. O grupo continuou até 1992, quando Luiz Eça veio a falecer. O trio também acompanhou artistas como Carlos Lyra, Edu Lobo, Nara Leão, Sylvia Telles, Quarteto em Cy e João Bosco. web

TAMBA TRIO - Tamba Trio (1975) RM-2001 / Mp3

Recorded and released in the mid-'70s, this album finds the Tamba Trio taking the heart of their 1960s sound -- centered around a piano trio-styled groove with three-part harmony -- and combining it with '70s-style effects. The production style is very mellow and sweet with sonic treatments such as subtly shaded phase shifters and flangers that add a filmy, gauzy tinge to the arrangements. This is interesting in the sense that the charts -- written by Luiz Enca -- include other instruments played by notable guests that seem to reflect the sound of a piano trio in a mirror-like way, giving the entire set a gorgeously rounded, dreamy sound. Prime examples are in the seamless flow of tracks such as "3 Horas da Manha," "Visgo de Jaca," "Beira Mar," "Chorinho No 1," "Jogo Da Vida," "Sanguessuga," and "Beijo Partido" out of and into one another. Some of the guests on this album include Helio Delmiro, Ivan Lins, Toninho Horta, Joao Bosco, and Danilo Caymmi, who add depth, dimension, and plenty of vibe to an already lush set.

TAMBA TRIO - Classics (1997) 2CD / Mp3

This Brazilian double-disc collection retraces the Tamba Trio's career from 1962 to 1968, the years were they first made their mark and became an enduring part of the Brazilian musical pantheon. The sequencing on this set is odd in that it is assembled from the point of view of aesthetics and gives no quarter to chronology. Therefore, the smash 45 version of "Desafinado" by Tom Jobim from 1968 opens the set while the group's first single, "O Amor que Acabou" from 1962, is near the end of disc two. None of this matters, however, as the 28 cuts included offer a stunning portrait of the band's first seven years. All of the Tamba Trio's 45s are present from the period, as are choice album selections. Versions of "Bwerimbau" from 1964 and "Moca Flor" from 1963 are juxtaposed against "Quem de Bera" and "Agua de Berber" from 1966 and 1968, respectively, and the beautiful, even stunning reading of Marcos Valle's "Sohno de Maria" and Edú Lobo's "Reza" are almost worth the price alone. There are no weak or even average moments included on this stellar collection. Given that this relfects the Tamba Trio before any personnel changes, listeners can reflect on just how visionary and uncannily consistent the band was. This is a set that should be available in America.

TAMBA TRIO – Pure Bossa Nova - A View On The Music Of Tamba Trio (2008) RM | FLAC (tracks), lossless

No one can argue that this collection of cuts by Brazil's Tamba Trio isn't a welcome one. It contains 14 tracks from albums recorded between 1962 and 1964, when the group was riding high in its native country and breaking through in Europe, Japan, and the United States (the latter to a lesser agree). The Tamba Trio featured pianist Luizinho Eça, bassist Bebeto (born Adalberto Castilho), and drummer Helcio Milito, who brought the music of their countrymen to the wide open ears of the world, whose listeners got behind the amazing combination of musicianship and three-part harmony that became this group's trademark. Eça is one of the most innovative pianists his country ever produced. He was schooled in classical music but was also a jazz pianist of astonishing vision, lyricism, and technical acumen. All three men did time singing with others and playing in various groups in Brazil until they began to rearrange the bossa nova for their particularly soulful, sophisticated, and swinging take. This volume assembles cuts from their early albums, especially the singles. There's Dori Caymmi's "O Samba da Minha Terra," Baden Powell and Vinícius de Moraes' "Consolação," and Edú Lobo's "Borandá," as well as tunes by Antonio Carlos Jobim with de Moraes ("Só Danço Samba") and Aloysio de Oliveira ("Só Tinha de Ser Com Você") and Newton Mendonça ("Samba de uma Nota Só"), as well as a young Marcos Valle with the truly classic "Sonho de Maria," written with Paulo Sergio. But it isn't just the tunes, all of which had been -- or would be -- covered by virtually everyone else on the Brazilian scene; it's the deep integration of hardcore swinging jazz, which was more rhythmically intense than what the Americans were doing.
Check the live version of "Só Tihna de Ser Com Você" -- which has its roots in the sounds of both Erroll Garner and Teddy Wilson, and with its extrapolated vocal harmonies (all done in a live setting in front of an audience), with dynamics that shift time signatures in the middle of phrases -- and you get an idea just how wild and new this stuff was, and in many ways remains. It is not a stretch to hear the roots of the less wily experiments of Gilberto Gil or even Valle here, and one can even make links in the chain to the compositional and arrangement methods employed by Os Mutantes early on (despite the music begin radically different). This music is dressed occasionally with flutes or saxophones, but nothing keeps the attention away from the shifting, gently insistent rhythmic invention that is countered by the stretched three-part harmony that keeps itself firmly in the tenor and higher baritone ranges (check "O Amor Em Paz"). The album's final cut is, of course, the biggest single that the band laid down, in Jorge Ben's "Mas Que Nada," with an arrangement they extrapolated on for 1964's "Borandá" by Edú Lobo. One can hear the roots of groups such as Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 here, but this is more driving, more intoxicating, and -- truth be told -- more elegant without reining its elusive spirit down in an American recording studio. While the recording quality is fine, its transfer isn't perfect here, but that's beside the point. This collection is necessary because it is the only one listeners have. Universal and its many labels are far more interested in collections and reissues than actual new releases these days, and they should deeply consider releasing the group's actual titles -- including the ones made in the late '60s with a different rhythm section as the Tamba 4, and those wonderfully early electronic samba records made by Eça in the early '70s. This is brilliant work, without a weak cut in the set, but it still only whets the appetite for more Tamba.
