Nov 13: Egberto Gismonti - genius

“Brazilian culture is the basic fountain or source that drives my music.”

A classic from 1991 on ECM records.

Egberto Gismonti is a genius virtuoso on both guitar - multi-stringed (8 and 10 stringed) - and piano. He has recorded with Jan Garbarek - a great album - and Nana Vasconcelos. I've seen them all performing live.

He's a Carioca....


Here's another stone cold classic - also on ECM from 1993.... evoking the vitality of Brazil...


I have these on CD... I had one on vinyl too back in the day...
