Release Notes:
After the success of his debut album, ôDa Almaö, comes the confirmation of the
status obtained by the young pianist J·lio Resende with a second project, ôAssim
Falava Jazzatustraö.
His International Quartet includes notable Spanish alto saxophonist Perico
Sambeat, a renowned bassist from Norway, Ole Morten Vagan, and the cream of the
new generation of Portuguese jazz: Joel Silva as the permanent drummer and the
invited artists, in one track, DesidΘrio Lßzaro (tenor saxophone), Joπo Cust≤dio
(bass) and, coming from the pop band Clπ, Manuela Azevedo (voice).
For this effort, Resende proposed himself, and to the other participants, to
refuse in their playing anything that could hide or alienate their own personal
styles, in the search of authenticity.
Following this principle, the quartet deals only with original compositions.
With one exception: a jazz cover of a rock ôclassicö, ôShine On Your Crazy
Diamondö, by Pink Floyd. The special guests have an important contribution:
Sambeat is a top figure in Spain, either performing in a post-bop format or
leading flamenco-jazz mixed formulas. An heir of the style of Charles Mingus,
Vagan is a sideman of first choice by important names like Jonas Kullhammar or
Bugge Wesseltoft. The resulting music is fresh, connected to the tradition but
going very far, and always surprising. A gratifying achievement in any part of
the world.
