MODERN TRADITION:
The crafty title of New Old Music today refers to instrumental Pixinguinha, Jacob do Bandolim, Garoto, Kchimbinho and Ernesto Nazareth choros reinterpreted by a quintet of master musicians. These are Isaias de Almeida on mandolin; Naylor Proveta on soprano sax and clarinet; Israel de Almeida on 7-string guitar; Benjamin Taubkin on piano; and Guello on percussion. Teco Cardoso sits in on baritone sax on one track.
Each musician's bio is impressive. Details include founders of record labels and ensembles, accredited composers, band and workshop leaders. But relying on the liner notes to get impressed is unnecessary. This is high-level playing, fine as threads of raw silk, neo-classical in its chamber or salon music execution, always lyrical and unconcerned over showmanship or "Latin heat", meandering instead like a lazy summer river through tropical vistas or swaying liltingly like the hips of a sashaying beauty.
This is perfect music for relaxed outings. Enjoyed at background levels, it'll add a very chi-chi ambiance such as you'd expect in a truly classy eatery. Played back at realistic concertizing levels, it's a full-on celebration of highly melodic songs performed not with human but instrumental voices.
