Hermeto Pascoal - Slaves Mass (1977)

This is a Hermeto Pascoal 1974 LP, Slaves Mass, considered a milestone on instrumental music and Jazz scene, although it is not a strictly Jazz album. On seven tracks, Hermeto plays everything, from flutes, sax, guitar, Fender piano, clavinet and weird inventions, such like: fans, bottles, tea pot, etc.

Hermeto is now in Brazil. He made a move from Rio de Janeiro to Curitiba, just to stay closer to his new young wife that is also a musician. They are playing and have recorded together a new album.
