Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo - Live at Viersen Jazz Festival, Germany (1994)

Hermeto is a unique musician. A composer, improviser and instrumentist who is capable of playing all kinds of instruments and of turning into musical instruments everythings that his hands can hold - from water bottles to pumps, kettles and ... pigs!

His official LPs and CDs show only a small fraction of his art, more contained and less spontaneous, although always brilliant and provocative. It is in the live performances that he really shines, mixing improvisation with a continuous reharmonization of the themes he plays, and letting go the creativity of the fantastic musicians that accompany him.

This is Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo - Viersen Jazz Festival, Germany (1994). zecalouro has not been able to identify who plays with Hermeto in this jazzy presentation. But it is a savory dish to be listened and admired by Loronix friends.

More will come, since zecalouro special agents are gathering a long series of live performances by Hermeto - who, by the way, used to urge the audiences to record him and spread the tapes, in an attempt to overcome the indifference of recording companies to his music - and that what Loronix is doing.

Tracklist:

01 - Suite Paulistana
02 - Rainha da Pedra Azul
03 - Mesclado (flauta de baixo e vocalize)
04 - Flauta & Squeaky Toys
05 - Vals (flauta, piano squeaky toys)
06 - Sanfona de 8 Baixos
07 - Blues

  2. sreo,

    Just checked right now and this post is fine. Maybe you are using download accelerators that are not supported by the free Rapidshare edition.

    I'm wondering... may you send to zecalouro@gmail.com a print out of your problem? Perhaps I can manage to you...

  3. Great post! I have a lot of live Hermeto concerts, but not this one!

    In 1994, personnel is probably:

    Hermeto, Jovino Santos Neto, Carlos Malta, Itibere Zwarg, Marcio Bahia, Pernambuco & Fabio Pascoal.

    Just a guess, though. I may be able to tell better after listening.

  4. In 1994, Jovino and Carlos had already left the group. Probably the 1994 group had André Marques (keyboards) and Vinícius Dorin (saxophones).
