Listener Reviews & Comments
What I mean is, it is lightyears beyond GREAT that Warner-Brasil has finally released on cd, this CLASSIC recording of Hermeto Pascoal, who I will unequivocably say is THE GREATEST MUSICIAN/ COMPOSER /ARRANGER that has ever graced this planeta, Case CLOSED, hehehehehehe! This recording was released in 1980(!)and only now is avaliable on cd,along with his other 2 recordings that Warner controls "Zabumbe Bum-A " and "Ao Vivo em Montreux". From his first recordings back in the early 60s( including the seminal Quarteto Novo in partnership with Airto, Heraldo do Monte and Theo de Barros), Hermeto has been expanding the parameters of music, combining improvisational technique Of jazz and chorinho with the nodestino ritmos of his Alagoas state origins and more traditional bossa/samba and other styles. My "description" only scratches the surface.. He has evolved into the most unique composer/instrumentalist you will ever hear, and along with some 60 instruments that he performs on with almost equal virtuosity,he has also made musics with almost ANY "found" sound, be it animal sounds, metallic tubes, tuned bottles, e MUITO MAIS! If you understand Portugues, among O mestre's basic axioms, he has said " A musica tem tres partes que sao como pai, mai e filho. O pai e o ritmo,a mae e a harmonia, e o filho e a melodia". In essence,like a "family", you have to have the 3 elements of ritmo(cant spell that ... word in English, hehehe), harmony and melody to make the music "whole" , and Hermeto accomplishes this on EVERY composition, even his most "out" musics, always the 3 elements are present! This cd release is mostly Hermeto alone in the studio, with overdubs-- it foreshadowed his "Eu e Eles" release in which he does the same, a one man show. There are also some occasional contributions from "regulars" from his "O Grupo" aggregations on certain tracks. The HIGHLIGHTS of the recording are "Musica das Nuvens e do Chao" which features a typical long snaking, and ACHINGLY beautiful Hermeto melody progressing into a 5/4 samba percolating under the melody restated. Hermeto then breaks for a haunting quasi-vocalese in his mad original style - cheio de bem humor, por folia!-- Hermeto has an incredible sense of humor in his musics. Hermeto has proven samba can be written in "5" and "3" time signatures, for sure! as this track demonstrates. "Voz e Vento" is one of Hermeto's pinpoint accurate song titles(Voice and Wind), as he evokes many different moods in this short composition, you feel the breezes blow his wordless vocals into the air, an amazingly sensitive song, while still pulsating with polyritmos. I wont run down track by track, but you will here the enormous range of hermeto's creative mind on this cd! Hermeto possui o dom da enorme criatividade, um grande experimentador sem esquecer os principios maravilhosos da musica - um grande coracao e sua capacidade de extrair musica boa de qualquer coisa! (Hermeto is experimental , a master imagination, but always you feel his big Heart as he extracts musics from everything!!!) WHY is there 10000 books on Trane ,Ellington, Miles,Stravinsky, and FOR WORSE, there is a myriad of useless forgettable "pop" stars who are rhapsodized ad nauseum, ad infinitum, while the genius of Hermeto is marginalized to a select few musical "seekers" who are lucky enough to "know" the works of probably the greatest musician -- in USA terms and trying not to trivialize, he is the "Michael Jordan" of the music world, multiplied to the 10th power! 10 million stars for every Hermeto recording, and this is one of the best,and until now, most difficult to obtain. OUCA ISSO!
