| Bambu chutes! |
| |
| The album "Bambu" was my first phonographic work and it was the |
| accomplishment of a dream that had begun when I was 9years old and was |
| beginning my classical piano studies. When I was 15 years old, I'd |
| started to be interested in Choro and Jazz and because of the Music of |
| Pixinguinha, I began to study the flute. |
| |
| While I was attending Hermeto Paschoal's first show in 1972, in Rio de |
| Janeiro, I found my calling in the complex diversity of World Music. |
| After this show of Hermeto's, I attended shows by Egberto Gismonti, |
| Victor Assis Brasil, Luis Eca, Tom Jobim, Azymuth, Milton Nascimento, |
| Chick Corea, Bill Evans, and other great musicians who also influenced |
| me. |
| |
| About the album: |
| |
| The recordings of the LP Bambu, were made between December of 1979 and |
| January of 1980. The launch took place in 1981, at a show in Catacumba |
| Park in Lagoa, Rio de Janeiro. |
| |
| The musicians who played on the LP were: Ricardo Silveira, Ze Nogueira |
| Antonio Sant'Anna, Leo Gandelman, Armando Marcal, Elcio Cafaro, Daniel |
| Garcia, Joca Moraes, Wilson Meireles, Marcelo Salazar, Marcelo Costa, |
| Cafe, Damilton Viana, Cezao and the singer Eveline. |
| |
| When we recorded the album Bambu, we were starting our musical careers |
| and after all of those years we are still great friends and partners |
| and that is the biggest conquest of this record. A record that has |
| opened many doors for all us. |
| |
| I'd like to add that the drums player Jorge Autuori was a very close |
| friend and he was a great inspiration for me during the time when we |
| worked together with the singer Eliane Pitman, at the end of the 70's. |
| |
| About the songs: |
| |
| The idea for the title song came during a practice session, while the |
| percussionist Damilton Viana was playing a berimbau of bambu. After |
| the session, I decided to do some research on this fantastic plant and |
| ended up composing the baiao "Bambu". The recording of this track was |
| made giving prominence to the solo & base guitars of Ricardo Silveira. |
| I made the composition "The Bridge" while I was crossing the famous |
| Rio-Niteroi Bridge after visiting a girlfriend who used to live on the |
| other side of Guanabara Bay. |
| |
| "Igarape" was a vision that I had of a pretty Indian girl singing in |
| the middle of the Amazonian Forest. Eveline, with her beautiful voice, |
| sang my composition in a sublime way. |
| |
| "Chapada of the Corisco" carries the force of the Brazilian northeast |
| and was composed by the great pianista Luizao Paiva, of Maranhao. |
| |
| "Humaita" is the name of quarter where I was born in Rio deJaneiro. We |
| held the practice sesssions for the recording of the album Bambu in a |
| studio surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, in my parent's house which |
| is situated in the valley of Mount Corcovado. |
| |
| I always adored the beat of the samba schools and when I composed |
| "Samba Torto" I imagined myself playing my Fender Rhodes in the middle |
| of the Avenue, during a Carnival parade. During the first practice |
| session, as we played this song that we still hadn't given a name to, |
| Ze Nogueira turned to me and said: Lets warp the harmony of this samba |
| |
| I spent my infancy living in Leblon, close to the sea and I was always |
| fascinated by the sound of the waves breaking on the sand. In the |
| composition "Mar", I try to show my impressions of the beach. |
| |
| One day, Ricardo Silveira arrived at the practice session, showing us |
| a new song that he had just composed after taking a walk on Ipanema |
| beach as the sun set behind the mountain they call Two Brothers- "Dois |
| Irmaos". We started to play "Dois Irmaos", which was a name I gave it. |
| It was the first time that any of Ricardo's compositions had been |
| recorded. |
| |
| The choro "Driblando" is a homage that I give to the biggest football |
| player of all the times, in my opinion: "Mane Garrincha". |
| |
| The LP "Bambu" was one of the first records of Instrumental Brazilian |
| Music or Brazilian Jazz, that brought together generation of musicians |
| now playing the circuits of festivals of Jazz, MPB and World Music in |
| Brazil and all around theworld. The album is the same age as my oldest |
| son, Lucas, who is 24. For me, this record is like a dear son who |
| always gives us happiness and good memories. It is an honour for me to |
| see Bambu issued by whatmusic in 2004 and above all, to be part of the |
| same catalogue with other great musicians. |
