(Latin Jazz / Fusion) Claudio Roditi - Two of Swords - 1991, FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

This Rio born trumpet and flugelhorn player has been on the US jazz scene since studying at Berklee College of Music in 1970. Often overlooked among the top players, Claudio has lived in New York for 30 years. He is known for his warm, fluid sound combining post bop and Brazilian elements. A Grammy nominee, he has recorded a dozen albums as a leader.
Recorded at two separate sessions, this album finds Claudio Roditi leading two separate groups. One of them, which he calls a "Brazilian Quintet," employs trombonist Jay Ashby, pianist Edward Simon, bassist Nilson Matta and drummer Dudaka Fonseca-the other, which he calls a "Jazz Quartet," includes pianist Danilo Perez, bassist David Finck and drummer Akira Tana. Both groups serve Roditi well, and both of them are hard bop-oriented. The main difference between the two, apart from personnel, is the fact that the Brazilian Quintet is more overtly Brazilian-influenced. The Brazilian Quintet is still playing hard bop, but it's hard bop that is more consistently mindful of the samba beat that Roditi was surrounded by growing up in Rio de Janeiro.
Review:
A masterpiece...improvisation and sound are formidable! I love his sweet and aggressive solos...he make it look effortless...International Jazz ProductionsGrammy-nominated trumpeter Claudio Roditi is one of the most prestigious Brazilian musicians on the international jazz scene. He has integrated post-bop elements with Brazilian rhythmic concepts, building a palette that lets him play both bebop and his beloved samba with power and lyricism. Roditi is separated from the pack by his "pervasive musicality and expressive purpose beneath all the technique."
Roditi's trumpet solo on Airegin is amazing!
