Editorial Reviews

From Jazziz

Featuring three of Brazil's most in-demand musicians, Trio da Paz redefines the infectious spirit of jazz-oriented instrumental bossa nova. While virtually all of the early bossa trios were piano- or organ-led, Trio da Paz shifts the primary solo focus to guitar, providing the resourceful Romero Lubambo an opportunity to demonstrate his versatility and soloist's instincts.

For the guitarist and his cohorts, bassist Nilson Matta and drummer Duduka Da Fonseca, such bedrock Brazilian styles as bossa and samba are second nature. On tracks like Toninho Horta's wistful bossa "Luisa" and Matta's "Rosa," a sultry samba ballad sweetened by the plaintive cries of Da Fonseca's cuica drum, the trio demonstrates its mastery of dynamics, invention, and swing, all polished off with the air of genuine spontaneity.

This trio also excels at improvising within the demanding structure of such seldom-used rhythms as patrido alto and bai‹o. On "P'ro Flavio," Lubambo incorporates dissonant chords and loping runs as Da Fonseca adds the steely pulse of the berimbau (an Afircan musical bow) to capture the bai‹o's choppy gait. And on the title track, the trio throws in a touch of funk and some free blowing to the off-kilter feel of the song's unusual 15/8 tempo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Definitive Mix of Jazz with Sophisticated Brazilian Rhytms, August 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Partido Out (Audio CD)

"Partido Out" the newest release by Trio da Paz (Trio of Peace) is a classic of this genre. The music on this must have CD perfectly blends melodic and probing jazz lines with impeccably played and highly complex Brazilian Rhythms. The Trio is comprised of three of Brazil's greatest musicians and this CD shows them all off quite well. I am particularly partial to some of this CD's more melodic material as found in: "Luisa", "Rosa", "Song for Kaya" and a tune literally named after the group "Trio da Paz." This Cd is that rare combination of instrumental virtuosity paired with great music making.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Band, April 13, 2001

I just saw these guys play live at Birdland in New York City, and they were great. I haven't heard the CD, but if their performance last night is any indication, then this must be a marvelous record.
