For Your LATIN GRAMMY® Consideration ANTONIO ADOLFO BruMa - Celebrating Milton Nascimento On this album, Antonio Adolfo brings still more excellence to the music of Milton Nascimento. Aquiles Rique Reis - Jornal do Brasil (BR) Adolfo’s harmonic liberties with Milton’s songs are evident in the dense note clusters of his horn chorales for trumpet/flugelhorn, alto, tenor and trombone, for instance, on the ballads “Cais” and “Encontros E Despedidas.” He also alters the songs’ rhythmic forms, recasting the famous “Nada Será Como Antes” as a jazz shuffle and “Fe Cega, Faca Amolada” in the quadrilha style (a fast-paced version of a Brazilian square dance). Allen Morrison - Downbeat Magazine Antonio Adolfo breathes new life into the work of the maestro in a time when Milton Nascimento’s vision and voice should not be forgotten. Travis Rogers Jr - The Sentinel The word “bruma" is Portuguese for mist, but the album’s title appears as BruMa, taking the first syllable of the names of two towns, Brumadinho and Mariana, destroyed in disastrous floods in 2019 and 2015. Bruce Crowther - Jazz Journal (UK This is a tribute from one Brazilian master to another that is filled with emotional energy and extroverted vision.

A multi Latin Grammy and Grammy nominee, Adolfo is an internationally recognized Latin jazz star. A prolific recording artist, Adolfo is now releasing BruMa: Celebrating Milton Nascimento.

Although Adolfo admires Nascimento’s beautiful melodies and interesting harmonies, he is an artist with his own vision and approach. He brings something new and different to each of these compositions. With his lush, soulful arrangements, Antonio Adolfo has taken Milton Nascimento’s music and made it truly his own.
