Marcio Montarroyos - Magic Moment (1982)

Hello, Good Evening! I want to start today showing a Brazilian musician never mentioned at Loronix, in spite of several participations on other artists recordings. He is undoubtedly one of the most important Brazilian trumpet players, very active as studio musician, arranger of several soundtracks and with several performances outside of Brazil accompanying renowned artists, such as Stevie Wonder, Sérgio Mendes, Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Carlos Santana, Ella Fitzgerald and many others.

This is Marcio Montarroyos - Magic Moment (1982), for Columbia, arranged by Marcio Montarroyos and featuring Brazilian instrumental music legends, such as Victor Biglione, Jamil Joanes, Ivan Conti, Ricardo Silveira, Lincoln Olivetti and others. Magic Moment never had a CD reissue and immediately follows Marcio Montarroyos first album, the acclaimed Stone Alliance (1977). Take a time to visit Marcio Montarroyos official website at www.marciomontarroyos.com, there you can download music from two albums, "Congado Celebration" and "The Best of Montarroyos", watch videos, see photos and interact with this great Brazilian musician.

Marcio Montarroyos is a huge talent. In the seventieS he recorded on all Edu Lobo albums from the period, Limite das Águas, Camaleão, and probably made one of his best appearance with a flugelhorn solo at the song Vento Bravo in Edu e Tom album. This take is amazing, really unmissable. I love Marcio Montarroyos work, great post.
