Rose Hall Jazz at Lincoln Center Broadway at 60th Street 5th Floor “Duduka is a fantastic drummer, he has worked with me and I love the way he plays.” Antonio Carlos Jobim, Rio de Janeiro, Spring 94 "Duduka Da Fonseca is one of the very few drummers, or perhaps the only drummer, who has found his own unique voice by combining the two traditions. His command of Brazilian and American rhythms and his ability to integrate them so seamlessly is truly innovative. With music in mind, Sincerely, " Billy Hart “Da Fonseca divulgues a keen awareness of where Brazilian Jazz has been and where it’s headed” Todd Jenkins, DownBeat Magazine "[Alves has] subtlety, musicianship and extraordinary improvisational facility..." "...outstanding capabilities as a melodic improviser..." Robert L. Doerschuk, DownBeat Magazine "Alves plays with a gravity and a stylistic flair that's truly impressive." Phillip Van Vleck, Billboard Magazine "Alves executes his feats with unhurried grace, even at very fast tempos. There is an aptitude that, if not exclusive of Brazil, has reached its highest expression there: the communication of a subtle energy embodying a life- affirming message that life is transitory." Thomas Conrad, Jazz Times Magazine "Adnet's voice is an emotionally powerful instrument capable of firmness or fragility, depending on the situation. When the tempo slows down and the lights are low, she reveals an attractive vocal wave—more a quiver than out-and-out vibrato—that heightens the intensity in her delivery; this level of directness and honesty transcends mere language when it appears." - Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz “Maucha and I have travelled the world with the Banda Nova since 1984. She is a marvelous singer. Her voice is deep, rich, mysterious. It makes me long for the Brazilian forest. Maucha is intelligent and comes from a very musical family. She is a good girl, wonderful woman, a great artist” Kiss from your fan, Antonio Carlos Jobim |
