John Patitucci Brazilian Trio

Patitucci has been a leader for more than thirty years and in the company of jazz luminaries such as Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea and Roy Haynes. Patitucci has played with artists across all genres from B.B. King to Queen Latifah. Brazilian native and percussionist Rogerio Boccato has worked with many top names in jazz including Maria Schneider on The Thompson Fields (Artist Share, 2015), Fred Hersch and Ben Allison, and he has deep roots in the music of his country. On that front, he has collaborated with artists such as Toninho Horta, Moacir Santos, and Vinicius Cantuaria, among others. Guitarist Yotam Silberstein, a finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Guitar Competition in 2005, played the Umbria Jazz Festival at the age of twenty-one. He has worked in partnerships with James Moody, David Sanborn, Marcus Miller, Paquito D'rivera, Christian McBride and many others.

It is unlikely that a Brazillian mixed compilation would exclude Antonio Carlos Jobim or Milton Nascimento, and Irmaos de Fe is no exception. But the works of the two native composers have been touched upon so often that they require a refined approach to avoid bromidic repetition and Patitucci's trio is more than up to the task. The title track—a Nascimento composition—opens Side A of the album in a thoughtful and respectful manner. Silberstein's great guitar work on the piece reflects his affinity for the music he honored on his own Brazil (JLP, 2011). Patitucci equals the guitarist's clarity and dexterity with his bass, taking leads and offering support. Another Nascimento piece follows, the more animated "Catavento," followed by a subdued Egberto Gismonti composition "Pr'um Samba."
