Hello, Good Evening! It has been a month or two since we made available a set of videos with Luiz Eca, Luiz Alves and a wonderful female drummer called Lilian Carmona. By that time, I received some emails asking for more information about Lilian Carmona and I could not help that much, little is known about her.Luiz Harding sent today a video with the legendary George Shearing and - guess who? - Lilian Carmona. I'm feeling confused to pick up the main performer on this video. Anyway, let's say this is George Shearing and Lilian Carmona performing O Morro Nao Tem Vez (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes) in another fantastic video powered by Luiz Harding.
Hope uEnjoy!
Eu estava lá !

ReplyDeleteI'm proud to say that when Shearing first came to Brasil, in 1979, it was a trio with an Irishman - the great guitarist, Louis Stewart - as well as bassist Brian Torff.
Louis made many friends, particularly Mauricio Einhorn and Sabastio Tapajos, and also tells a great story of meeting Luiz Eca, and then introducing Shearing to Luizino and them playing piano duets into the night in Copacabana.
Louis has subsequently made some great records of Brasillian songs, especially "The Dolphin"... those interested can check Louis on YouTube, there's some great stuff there (he's our greatest musician in Ireland).
If anyone has any recordings (or memories) of that Shearing Trio tour in 1979 (or did they do a TV spot ?) I'd love to hear from YOU!
Many thanks, so, in advance,
RED (Ireland).
