A master of "Brasilient" rhythms, he is equally capable of grooving a jazz 4/4 with his great, loosey-goosey swing." Ira Gitler, American jazz historian and journalist "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 "The Brazilian percussionist Duduka Da Fonseca, a key member of Trio Da Paz, may be the most impressive jazz-besotted Brazilian percussionist since Airto Moreira. He balances tropical rhythms and swing with uncommon ease." THE NEW YORKER "[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 write your comments about the article :: © 2019 Jazz News :: home page |
