The World Music Network Presents 
The Rough Guide to BRAZILIAN JAZZ
a compilation of wonderful world music in the 
Rough Guide tradition. This LP was compiled by John Armstrong.

Mention Brazilian jazz to most music fans and the inevitable bossa
nova images flood into view: the beach, the female whisper-vocal, the
rimshot snare drumming, the chord-plucked acoustic guitar, possibly a
little muted batucada percussion, breathy alto saxophone and cabaret-vamp
piano. It’s an image ineluctably stuck in the 1960s, when most aspiring
Brazilian musicians looked to America’s West Coast ‘cool jazz’ scene for
inspiration, listening to artists such as the Modern Jazz Quartet, Chet Baker,
Paul Winter, Jimmy Giuffre and Stan Getz. Of course there were Brazilian
jazz musicians in the 1960s whose work was highly original and owed
little or nothing to bossa nova, obvious examples being Victor Assis Brasil
and Dom Salvador, the only two ‘old-school’ players present in this
compilation – their presence I hope demonstrating the continuity of
Brazilian jazz explorations way beyond bossa-jazz. There were also
artists drawing inspiration from native Indian, regional folkloric and
liturgical sources: Hermeto Pascoal and Egberto Gismonti made
(and still make) thrilling and bizarre jazz that owed nothing to ‘conventional’
Brazilian jazz, or indeed ‘conventional’ jazz of any kind. Brazil’s millennial
musicians, however, use a different palette from that which
has gone before. Disillusioned with the vapidity of manufactured national
pop – pagode, axé, lambada, brega and the rest – they started digging
for rare soul, funk, reggae and hip hop records for inspiration, an
entry-point to the Blue Note and soul-jazz classics of America’s east coast,
as well as richer meat – Sun Ra, Roland Kirk, Pharaoh Sanders and
afrobeat. They also started listening more to European jazz: a fascinating
‘full-circle’ effect, because earl twentieth century choro jazz was strongly
influenced by European music in template if not in tempo. The large
majority of players on this compilation are under 30 years old, most
from São Paulo and Rio De Janeiro. Many have played with each
other and are familiar with each other’s work – as were Rio’s 1960s
 bossa nova community. But the sheer range, energy and boisterousness
of the approach is thrilling. Iconili, Nomade Orquestra, Höröya and
Bixiga 70 are essentially gafieira (dancehall) orchestras – with all the
discipline, skill and ‘listening to each other’ that it implies – playing
from a different songbook: a repertoire inspired by Nigeria, Guinea,
Ethiopia, the Caribbean and New York. Thiago França’s sharp-elbowed
 genius makes itself felt in his solo work as well as in the more
modal Space Charanga and European fans may know Thiago from
the touring combo Metá-Metá. Juçara Marçal and Karina Buhr’s
voicings explore similar territory to Carla Bley while Tulipa Ruiz’s
sparkling Roy Ayers-style jazz-funk contribution wouldn’t be out
of place on the 1980s London dancefloors of Dingwall’s, the WAG
or the Electric Ballroom. There had to be a hip hop track – so many 
Brazilian millennials got into jazz via hip hop – and new teenage
sensation Tassia Reis was a no-brainer. And it’s no mistake that
the collection is sandwiched between contributions from young
Turks Fernando Moura & Ary Dias and (for this compiler, at least)
probably the most complete mainstream jazz musician that Brazil has
ever produced, Victor Assis Brasil. Innovative music is alive and
kicking in millennial Brazil: although it never really left the building.Contains;
