[TR24][OF] Sebastiao Tapajos - Bienvenido Tapajos - 1973/2016 (Brazilian Jazz)

Sebastião Tapajós is a renowned Brazilian musician with over 50 recorded albums. A classically-trained violonista (acoustic guitar player), he soon awakened to his own musical expression, which bridges the gap between the rich Brazilian tradition and the delicacy, subtlety, and sophistication of the classical tradition. He received more than 20 awards in his career, including Germany's Album of the Year. Touring intensively through Europe, he has played and recorded with Gerry Mulligan, Astor Piazzolla, Oscar Peterson, Paquito de Rivera, Zimbo Trio, Hermeto Pascoal, and many others, with concerts attended by more than 600,000 people.
Touted as a musician who combines the folk-oriented play of Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell and the classical virtuosity of Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia, Brazilian guitarist Sebastio Tapajos’ jazz-inflected style has earned him international fame. He has played and recorded with the likes of Gerry Mulligan, Astor Piazzolla, Oscar Peterson, and Hermeto Pascoal; the Academia Brasileira de Letras designated Tapajos as the best Brazilian musician of 1992. For Bienvenido, Tapajos chose the perfect complement of Brazilian players, including two percussionists who create a living landscape of sound. Pedalando and Morneboca De Ouro are driven by the feel of samba and Carnival joyfully accentuated by the two percussionists, while Despedida/Favela finds Tapajos in duo with the bass. He takes the prayer-like ballad Feitio solo, as he does Argentine tango legend Astor Piazolla’s intriguing Adios Nonino. The Bach-inspired Criz silhouettes Tapajos’ classical side, whereas a fascinating percussive pulse propels the darker feel of Um Abaraco. Tapajos lovingly plucks and strums the melody of Baden Powell’s Choro para Metronomo, and Samba Potburri intermingles pieces by Brazilian icon Jobim and Tapajos. The waltzing lullaby Caxinha De Musica is a fitting end to this beautiful album.
