Rodrigo Simões - Jazz Brésilien (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Rodrigo Simões' second album, "Jazz brésilien" is the result of two years of research at the jazz master's degree of UdeM, where the artist has evolved under the direction of bassist Alain Caron (UZEB). The instrumental themes and the vocal pieces (in French and English) are inspired by the rhythms of the Brazilian musical tradition such as "maracatú", "forró" and "samba". Rodrigo (electric guitar, "violão", "bandolim") is surrounded by a group of experienced musicians, Fabrice Laurent (drums and percussion), Papacho Sirdey (piano, rhodes and melodica), André Galamba (bass), Aquiles Melo (congas) and Jean-Pierre Zanella (saxophonist solo guest). All pieces are composed by Rodrigo, with the collaboration of Sonia Johnson (recipient of a Juno), singer, guest soloist and lyricist of three songs of the album. There is also a samba version of Bluesette (Toots Thielemans / Norman Gimbel), arranged for the occasion. The album is being released by the Montreal-based label Multiple Chord Music (MCM).
