Mel Bay Ernesto Nazareth: Brazilian Tangos [Sheet music]

Ernesto Nazareth (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 2001

The tangos of Brazilian pianist/composer Ernesto Julio de Nazareth combine elements of European dances such as the polka and Latin-American forms including the maxixe. There are unmistakable syncopations of Scott Joplin's ragtime and, of cource, the cosmopolitan choros of his native Rio. These diverse sources of Nazareth melded into a style that is both uniquely personal and quintessentially of his time and place. Written in standard notation and tablature.

About the Author

Native Manhattanite Paul Jared Newman, having learned three or four chords, formed his first group, The Lower Class, at age 13. After his "conversion" to nylon strings there were classical music studies and guitar with Rey de la Torre at UC Berkeley, followed by an extended European sofjoun touring with local bands and performing solo.

Returning to the States, Newman was active on the New York Rock club circuit throughout the '80s as an involvement with music arranging and publishing was developing. Gravitating back to the "Spanish" guitar, he co-founded American International Guitar Publications in 1990, editing and producing Dennis Koster's acclaimed Keys to Flamenco Guitar series among numerous classical, flamenco, and fingerstyle publications.

Mr. Newman stays active in both the pop and classical spheres; he has published many arrangements for solo and duo guitar, often under the nom de plume Jared Walker, as well as a number of instructional books in a range of guitar styles. He divides his time between New York City and Woodstock, New York.
