The rest of the players are all great, too вЂ“ Helio Delmiro on guitar, Edson Lobo on bass, and Edison Machado on drums вЂ“ all players who grew up in the bossa jazz years of the 60s, but who here are set free to explore new territory by producer Roberto Quartin. Next is Toca Antonio Carlos Jobim вЂ“ a fantastic album from this legendary Brazilian saxophonist вЂ“ and one that's way different than the usual instrumental reading of the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim! The setting is less of a bossa-inspired one than a post-Coltrane mode вЂ“ as Victor Assis Brasil blows alto sax, and a bit of soprano вЂ“ on long, stretched out versions of Jobim compositions вЂ“ often given a bit of modal energy, thanks to the group's strong piano and organ performances by Dom Salvador. Titles include 'Children', 'Gingerbread Boy', 'Senegal', and 'Marilia'. The whole session was put together by Roberto Quartin in 1970 вЂ“ and it's still extremely fresh today.

The group is completed by Helio Delmiro on guitar, and Claudio Roditi plays trumpet on one track вЂ“ but the real highlight is the amazing reed work by Brasil, which is filled with soul and warmth, plus a deep sense of exploration.

CDДЄ fantastic double-length set вЂ“ two full albums of music, essential for any fan of Brazilian jazz вЂ“ or even jazz in general! First up is Esperanto вЂ“ an incredible album from one of Brazil's greatest reed players of the 70s вЂ“ the mighty Victor Assis Brasil вЂ“ a free-thinking spirit who really took Brazilian jazz in bold new directions at the time! The record shows Victor absorbing a lot of post-Coltrane influences, and blending them with a tight approach to rhythm вЂ“ laid down here by Dom Salvador on piano (and organ), Edison Lobo on bass, and Edson Machando on drums. Arrangements are by Dick Groove вЂ“ who keeps things very groovy вЂ“ and many of the tracks here are actually original numbers written by Bond and Warren Baker, titled after Ian Fleming books that had not yet been made into movies at the time of this album! Titles include 'Casino Royale', 'Moonraker', 'For Your Eyes Only', '007 Theme From Dr No', 'Man With The Golden Gun', 'Diamonds Are Forever', and 'Live & Let Die'. Way more than just a James Bond cash-in record вЂ“ and instead an ultra-hip jazz session from the west coast scene of the 60s! The James Bond at the helm of the record is actually Jimmy Bond вЂ“ the great bassist who worked on some key sessions of the late 50s and early 60s as a sideman, and who turns out to be a surprisingly great leader on this rare mid 60s date! The record is more jazz than anything else вЂ“ played with a crime/ spy bent, to be sure вЂ“ but also flowing with really great solos and a fair bit of a bossa influence in the rhythms! The group here is more than hip enough to make the record work вЂ“ with Harold Land on tenor sax, Bobby Bryant on trumpet, and Buddy Colette on flute and tenor вЂ“ all working in a sextet led by Bond, with plenty of round, warm, almost modal lines on his bass вЂ“ punctuated nicely by piano from Joe Parnello and drums by Joh Guarin.

Titles include 'Laranjeiras', 'Choro', 'No Tempo Da Bossa', 'O Pescador', 'Ecstatic 70', 'Brilliante', 'Eighties Times', 'Aventura', and 'Maixa'. A few tunes feature some great wordless vocals from Bertrami вЂ“ scatting along with his keyboards in a warm and breezy way вЂ“ and production on the set is great, thanks to the Far Out touch вЂ“ never too smooth, and quite different from any of Bertrami's albums recorded in the US.

A different groove than usual for Jose Roberto Bertrami вЂ“ and a record that definitely lives up to the promise of its title! Bertrami's really broken free from the regular Azymuth groove on this set вЂ“ much more so than on some of his recent solo albums вЂ“ playing here with a vibe that's very jazzy at times, with a range of different modes вЂ“ mod one minute, funky the next, and sweetly straight at other points! Jose Roberto handles his familiar Fender Rhodes on most tracks вЂ“ but also plays a bit of organ and acoustic piano as well вЂ“ and other instrumentation includes guitar, bass, and drums вЂ“ plus added horns on some of the fuller, funkier tracks.
