Paquito D'Rivera
Paquito D/Rivera?s love for vocal quartet music began in the 1960?s in Havana listening to the radio programs on Miami?s WQAM that featured wonderful vocal quartet harmony for commercials and station ID?s. His love affair with Brazilian music also began around this time coninciding with eh Bossa Nova movement and ergence of Antonio Carlos Jobim as the ?Duke Ellington? of Brazil. Paquito had dreamed of one day incorporating his love of American vocal quartet music with the melodies and harmonies of his favorite Brazilian composers. This recording realizes that dream.



Members of the New York Voices as well as Marty and Jay Ashby attended Ithaca College where they were exposed to the musicianship of Paquito and Claudio Roditi, Brazilian Jazz trumpeter, in 1983 at the Ithaca Jazz Festival. That encounter began a true mentor relationship between the masters and their students that comes into full bloom with this recording. Peruvian born Oscar Stagnaro has performed with Paquito for many years and Brazilians Helio Alves and Paulo Braga appropriately round out the rhythm section.



The selections include Jobim classics such as Corcovado and Desafinado with lesser known masterpieces, Modinha and Meu Amigo, which demonstrate the depth of the composer. Two of Luiz Bonfa?s most well known workds Manha De Carnival ? from the acclaimed firm Black Orpheus ? and Gentle Rain are combined in a unique instrumental then vocal medley. The compositions of Joao Donao are not well known in the Unitd States but the instrumental A Ra provides insight into his style. Paquito?s instrumental, One for Tom, was written for Antonio Carlos Jobim and Caludio?s Red on Red, has become a standard in the Brazilian jazz repertoire. Finally, Brazilian Dreams closes with Snow Samba ? a composition penned by Paquito and Claudio on a snowy day in Chicago when they were dreaming of the sun and beach of Brazil.
