Parker Place

By Charlie Parker I have as mp3 ‘Yardbird Suite’ 38 tracks culled from several labels, including Savoy and Dial, with many of them recorded between 1946 and 1949. These cover the birth of bebop as Parker broke away from the big band sound his started with & moved into what becomes a major direction in jazz. His sax playing is swinging, lyrical & adventurous.The sound quality is excellent & this…

For The Summer: Hermeto Pascoal / Airto Moreira / Flora Purim

Hey, a special treat for you today — a guest post from David "Observations of Deviance" Mittleman that digs into the Hermeto Pascoal / Airto Moreira / Flora Purim universe. For more, David is a great follow in various places — Twitter, YouTube and WFMU. Take it away!

Albert Ayler proclaimed, “Music Is The Healing Force Of The Universe.” Like nothing else, the music of Brazil makes the scorching summer days tolerable and even joyous. Brazilian musical healers include “O Bruxo,” the Wizard, aka Hermeto Pascoal, and the meteoric musical couple that shot from his orbit, Airto Moreira and Flora Purim. The Wizard is still going strong, living up to his sobriquet. On June 22, 2022 Pascoal celebrated his 86th birthday. Purim has also been active in 2022, releasing her first new studio album in fifteen years, which features her husband, legendary percussionist, Airto.

There is no way to capture Pascoal’s true range in a few words, but suffice it to say that he is something like Sun Ra crossed with Frank Zappa crossed with every sort of Brazilian musical style crossed with Miles Davis, with whom he recorded on “Live-Evil.” Pascoal’s live concerts are legendary. The 2004 performance I saw in Chicago remains one of the most magical events I’ve ever witnessed. Pascoal emanated bliss, love and joy. For those not lucky enough to capture the magic live, some recent reissues, and You Tube uploads, will send you into outer space.

In February, Far Out Recordings released a previously unissued Pascoal live performance from 1981, “Planetário da Gávea.” Appropriately recorded in a planetarium, the album contains everything Pascoal is known for - riotous improvisations, deep Brazilian rhythms and memorable melodies. The album’s second track, “Samba Do Belaqua,” gives you a taste of Pascoal’s sorcery.

In 1965, Pascoal and Airto teamed up with Humberto Clayber to record the Sambrasa Trio’s sole album, “Em Som Maior,” reissued in March by VampiSoul. The album has many brilliant moments, but the stand out track is “João Sem Braço.” After a brief mid-tempo introduction by the full trio, Airto breaks in with a thunderous drum clap, then the full trio breaks into full gallop. It is a tour de force of percussion ability and simpatico jazz trio improvisational communication.

Besides these official releases, the You Tube channel bigfootpegrande, has been uploading some amazing live Hermeto performances; here are just a few.

Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo / Pori Jazz Festival, Finland, July 15, 1984

The creative and technical dexterity displayed by Pascoal and group at the Pori Jazz Festival is unbelievable. Powerful and unforgettable.

Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo / Zagreb, Croatia, October 1990

More killer video. Sadly, it runs less than 20 minutes. Includes Hermeto interview in Portuguese with Croatian subtitles.

Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo / Chicago 1991

Per the video’s notes: “Epic, Wild!!” I concur.

Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo / Vienna, May 27, 2022

A very recent two hour live performance from Austria.

Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo (with Luciana Souza) / Central Park, NYC, June 21, 1997

Another rare US performance. “Opening for Hermeto was Medeski Martin and Wood. Dozens of ignorant tapers, with racks over racks and all kind of expensive mics displaying in the air, taped MMW and left when they finished. I don´t remember anyone staying [for Hermeto]."

Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo (w/ Naná Vasconcelos, Egberto Gismonti, Hugo Fattoruso) / Buenos Aires, 1981

Pascoal with other Brazilian heavyweights.

Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo / Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, France, June, 19, 1986

Pascoal and group jamming heavy in France.

Both Purim and Airto have had a long musical relationship with Pascoal. Hermeto played on both Purim and Airto’s solo albums, and the couple frequently perform Pascoal’s compositions. Purim continues this musical tradition on her new solo album, “If You Will,” released in April by Strut. A family affair, the album includes her daughter Diana Purim and husband Airto.

The album’s peaks include a new rendition of "500 Miles High,” Chick Corea’s classic jazz fusion composition, originally recorded in 1972 by Corea’s band Return to Forever, with Purim on vocals. The song’s lyrics express how listeners will feel; like everyone who hears her, they will be enraptured by her voice.

You'll see just one look and you'll know

She's so tender and warm

You'll recognize this is love

You'll find yourself on another plane

500 miles high

The bigfootpegrande You Tube channel has also uploaded several phenomenal live Airto and Purim live performances. Prime examples of her outside singing can be heard in the live performances linked below. While Purim’s remarkable vocal abilities are grounded in every phase of Jazz, she pushes the boundaries of traditional jazz into the stratosphere. Her repertoire includes an astounding array of extended vocal techniques, somewhat akin to Jazz scat singing, but far beyond what even the most adventurous Bebop artist would attempt.

Airto & Flora (feat. Hugo Fattoruso) / Boston, April 24, 1973

Incredible live performance. Includes versions of two Pascoal compositions (“Uri (The Wind)” and “O Gaio da Roseira”). The track “Xibaba” has a fire storm guitar solo from David Amaro that touches on Sonny Sharrock at its peak.

Flora Purim & Airto Moreira (feat. Nivaldo Ornelas) / Avery Fisher Hall, June 28, 1978

Another rare, early live performance from Airto and Purim. Includes a performance of “500 Miles High.”

Flora Purim & Airto Moreira (feat. George Duke) / Hollywood Bowl, June 16, 1979

Airto and Purium joined by legendary keyboard player George Duke. Another live version of “500 Miles High.”

Flora Purim Live at Terminal Island, March 3, 1975

As a bonus, here is one more phenomenal Flora Purim live performance. Purim was busted for coke in 1974 and spent sixteen months in a US prison. Towards the end of her incarceration, prison officials allowed Purim to bring in well known Jazz musicians to play for the inmates: Cannonball Adderley, George Duke, Airto Moreira, Miroslav Vitouš, Raul de Souza and Leon "Ndugu" Chancler.

The live prison performance was broadcast over the radio. Apparently she played one concert for the female inmates and one concert for the male inmates. Part of the performance has been uploaded to You Tube. Despite some audio flaws, it’s one of the best live from prison performances you will ever hear. Be sure to listen to the end for a short interview with Purim.

I hope the music of Pascoal, Airto and Purim brings you as much joy, healing and happiness this summer as it has brought me.

Em 1992, Hermeto Pascoal gravou o disco Festa dos Deuses. Nele, apresenta uma criação musical que eu nunca tinha ouvido. Ele faz melodias a partir de falas, discursos. Na faixa Pensamento Positivo, recriou a melodia que estava escondida em um discurso de Collor. Tem também Três Coisas, uma melodia feita a partir de um poema recitado por Mário Lago. Ou ainda, Aula de Natação, que o próprio nome já explica o que se trata. Em 2020, eu criava músicas instrumentais para um álbum que intitulei de Gioia, Malinconia, Basso, Sintetizzatore. Era a chance de tentar botar em prática, do meu jeito, o caminho mostrado pelo mestre Hermeto Pascoal. Em 'O segredo de Flor-de-lis no peito', eu recriei a melodia que existe (pelo menos aos meus ouvidos) em um trecho de uma resposta de Clarice Lispector para uma entrevista para o antigo Programa Panorama, da TV Cultura. Quando vi pela primeira vez Lispector falando nessa entrevista, a sua voz me chamou a atenção. Além do seu jeito de falar e o tom carregado de emoções como tédio, frieza, cansaço e uma profunda resignação. E ainda tinha as suas pausas misteriosas. O vídeo acima é uma edição do trecho do programa em questão, com o áudio da música 'O segredo de Flor-de-lis no peito'. Viva Hermeto e viva Clarice!

Shawn Sage and Kyu Sakamoto

Shawn Sage is one of the few musicians I actually known. I first met him when he worked tables at the defunct Renaissance Cafe. I didn’t realize he was a musician until a week or so later when he did a set at one of many shows at the Cafe. So his cd ‘One Of The Good Guys’ is more than great music but also full of fine memories. His ‘She Don’t Want My Eyes on Her’ is one of the best country songs…
