0015 – Ingá – Tom Jobim, Cartola, Toninho Horta, Joyce, Chick Corea and Flora Purim

Cartola is a huge symbol of our samba. He’s considered by many critics as the best samba composer of the history.

Chick Corea is maybe the best jazz electric pianist. Do you know the difference between a keyboard and an electric piano? Most people here in Brazil don’t distinguish one from another. Everything is called “keyboard” here, because most keyboards can play electric piano samples. But there is a sensitive difference. Listen to these jazzy samba tracks I got here, with the amazing brazilian singer Flora Purim, from the 1973 album, Light As a Feather.

Joyce and Toninho Horta recorded an album with Jobim’s songs, called “Sem Você” (Without You). Joyce is a tradicional Bossa Nova singer, whereas Toninho Horta is a world class guitar player.

0013 – Candeeiro – Esperanza Spalding, Elomar, Nei Lopes, João Pinheiro, Sade, Vinícius, Baden e Milton

Esperanza Spalding is a brilliant jazz singer and bass player. Besides being one of the youngest hired teachers in Berklee College of Music history, she loves brazilian music.

João Pinheiro is a great singer. He’s recorded an album with Sade’s songs arranged with brazilian rythms. This album has a strange flavor, but I bet you’ll like it. We’ll listen two of its tracks.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Nei Lopes is one of our most intellectual samba composers. He graduated in law school, and he’s also an african culture researcher. Nei Lopes has written several books about the subject, and a song called Justiça Gratuita, in which he overuses many law terms. In Portuguese, of course.

Elomar is born in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia. He was raised in constant contact with northeast nature, the so called Sertão Brasileiro. This, together with the erudite music, is a major influence in his compositions, as we’ll listen here.

0008 – Araçá – Astrud Gilberto, Stan Getz, Dona Cila do Coco and Bola Sete

Bola Sete is a brazilian guitarrist who toured with the famous trumpet player Dizzy Gillespie. We’ll play three songs from one of his albums, Travessuras do Bola.

Dona Cila do Coco is a regional singer. She represents one of our most exciting rythms called Coco. Besides Bossa Nova and Samba, there are many other spectacular rythms to discover in Brazil.

Astrud Gilberto was presented by Stan Getz in his album Getz/Gilberto. She was João Gilberto’s wife and made some unforgettable recordings, like Garota de Ipanema and Água de Beber. She had never performed professionaly before, and she was not so technical, as some can tell from these recordings.
