Maria Rita - Brasilieira - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Maria Rita is a musical pioneer that was ahead of her time. On first hearing her song, 'Cântico Brasileiro No.3 (Kamaiurá)', we thought it sounded like a contemporary remix that an artist such as Carl Craig could have produced. In fact, it came out in 1988 and was taken from Maria's 'Brasileira' album, released on the Brazilian, independent Acorde imprint. The song would go on to gain cult status with it's inclusion on John Gomez's superb 'Outro Tempo' compilation, released on the Music From Memory tag in 2017.This cult classic fuses new-age electronics with indigenous vocals and Amazonian rhythms. It is beautiful and unique and takes you on a journey through different moods, textures and ethereal planes. Through the sounds Maria created, you join her on a timeless voyage gazing into the future whilst embracing her powerful roots.

2019 . Like their acclaimed ECM Small Town of 2017 which The Guardian called Inchwistful and mesmerizing... tonally ingenious and hauntingInch Epistrophy by guitarist Bill Frisell and bassist Thomas Morgan was recorded at New York City's Village Vanguard. The album once again captures the rare empathy these two players achieve together in this intimate environment. There are further poetic takes on pieces from the duo's beloved Americana songbook (InchAll in Fun,Inch InchRed River Valley,Inch InchSave the Last Dance for MeInch), as well as another intense version of a composition by Paul Motian (InchMumbo JumboInch), an artist whom both the guitarist and bassist knew well. Frisell and Morgan communicate the essence of Billy Strayhorn's Inchrich LifeInch and the Frank Sinatra hit InchIn the Wee Small Hours of the Morning,Inch so much so that the famous words seem to hang in the air even without a singer. At the center of the album is a pair of pieces by Thelonious Monk the funky, angular InchEpistrophyInch and the ruminative ballad InchPannonica.Inch And as with InchGoldfingerInch on Small Town, Frisell and Morgan offer a glowing duo interpretation of a melody-rich John Barry title tune from a James Bond film InchYou Only Live Twice.Inch
