A prestigious Minas Gerais label Bemol known for many master works by artists such as Fernando Oly, Edição Brasileira, Renato Mota, Flávio Fonseca. This label work is 7"ep by an instrumental group named Suite Brasilia. Members include the group's central figure, pianist Renato Vasconcellos from Brasilia, flutist Andréa Ernest Dias, active in the free jazz scene and featured on works by Caetano Veloso and Gal Costa, alongside her sister flutist Beth Ernest Dias and brother guitarist Jaime Ernest Dias, saxophonist Evaldo Robson, who also played on Tim Maia's backing member, and bassist Ricardo Vasconcellos, totaling 7 members. It features 4 amazing tracks: the elegant, romantic Theme 1, followed by “Paula”, blending Brazilian musical traditions with jazz as it builds from a soft, flute-led introduction to a faster tempo, the mesmerizingly fluid “Sonho”, and the closing, groovy ensemble Theme 2. This work can be considered the prototype for the 1998 instrumental anthem of Brasília by Renato Vasconcellos. Great piece in nice condition.
Fernando Oly, Edição Brasileira, Renato Mota, Flávio Fonsecaといった秀逸な作品を多数残すミナスジェライスの優良レーベルBemol。本作はSuite Brasiliaと名付けられたインストゥルメンタル・グループによる7インチシングル。メンバーにはグループの中心人物でブラジリア出身のピアニストRenato Vasconcellos、フリージャズ界でも活躍しCaetano VelosoやGal Costaの作品群に参加するフルート奏者Andréa Ernest Diasと兄弟のフルート奏者Beth Ernest Diasにギター奏者Jaime Ernest Dias、Tim Maiaのバッキングでも活躍するサックス奏者Evaldo Robson、ベース奏者Ricardo Vasconcellosなど総勢7名。素晴らしい内容でロマンシズム溢れる優雅なテーマ1に始まり、フルートと共に柔らかな展開からテンポをあげていく音楽風土とジャズが結びついたような”Paula”、流れるような演奏にうっとりする”Sonho”、締めのグルーヴィなアンサンブルテーマ2の計4曲。Renato Vasconcellosによるブラジリアのインストゥルメンタルアンセムと言われる98年の同タイトルの原型と言える作品。ジャケットもいいですね。盤面も良好な部類です。
