  • "First reissue in 25 years of the Brazilian jazz holy grail, licensed from Universal Music Brazil. A mix between traditional music of northeast Brazil, bebop, jazz, and folk to create an organic sound. Featuring Hermeto Pascoal, Airto Moreira, Theo De Barros, and Heraldo Do Monte. Quarteto Novo only released one album, yet they number amongst one of the more influential acts in Brazilian music. Originally set up as a 'Trio Novo' by a pharmaceutical company who wanted a live band at an event, they were then picked up by Geraldo Vandré (who was, at that time in 1966, the winner of a Brazilian music popularity competition) for a tour of the Brazilian northeast. After the tour, the trio -- comprised of a very young Airto Moreira (percussions), producer and arranger Theo de Barros (bass and subsequent guitarist) and Heraldo do Monte (guitar) who also went on to have a fairly successful career -- was joined by multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal. Recorded in 1967, this was the first album for Airto, and it was a hugely influential release -- mixing the traditional music of northeast Brazil with bebop jazz and folk. Quarteto Novo emphasized northeastern Brazilian music and acoustic instruments for an 'organic' sound. This first reissue in 25 years of this holy grail is a must for any lover of Brazilian jazz, samba and folk music." - Jazzybelle
