Antonio Adolfo talks about the CD:
For a while I’ve been thinking of recording an album combining the work of my Jazz Masters with my own music. Naturally, since there are so many masters that wouldn’t fit into one album, I decided to include just a few.
I put together a group of five super talented musicians to join me in this new project.
The recording took place in one week during the peak of Rio de Janeiro’s summer in December of 2012. In this instrumental album, a piece by pianist Keith Jarrett for instance, incorporates elements of a Brazilian Toada, or a tune by Coltrane, that of a Quadrilha.
Similarly, in one of my songs, I use a blues phrasing blended with a Brazilian Northeastern scale. Additionally, a Calango may be combined with a Samba or a Baião, and a Spanish chord could be mixed with a Bossa Nova.
I have used this same kind of mixture also on Dizzy Gillespie, Chick Corea and Bill Evans’ tunes.
Music borders vanish giving rise to fine musical mixtures seasoned by Jazz and Brazilian phrasing.
Produced and Arranged by Antonio Adolfo
