Egberto Gismonti’s first new ECM recording in 14 years is a double-album that indicates the range of his artistry. Disc one features Gismonti the composer on a 70-minute journey through Brazil: “Sertões Veredas – tribute to miscegenation”. It is a work that takes account of Brazil’s culture and history, landscapes and cityscapes, vividly evoked by Cuba’s all-women orchestra the Camerta Romeu, under the leadership of Zenaida Romeu. Disc two features Gismonti the guitarist in an exciting duo recital with his similarly-gifted son Alexandre, romping through a programme that includes such well-known pieces as “Zig Zag”, “Lundú” and “Dança dos Escravos”.
Saudações kick starts his discography in superb fashion, and what makes the news all the sweeter for Gismonti fans is that it’s a double album. Disc one features Gismonti the orchestral composer, taking a 70-minute journey through his native Brazil in an ambitious seven-part suite entitled ‘Sertões Veredas: Tribute to Miscegenation’. Embracing various aspects of Brazilian culture and history, it receives a compelling performance by Cuba’s all-women orchestra, Camerata Romeu… The suite serves to illustrate Gismonti’s particular genius in being able to channel an array of musical reference points… and yet remain unmistakably himself. Featuring Gismonti’s gifted son Alexandre, disc two presents an outstanding programme of guitar duets and solos. - Peter Quinn, Jazzwise
