Lelo Nazario - Discurso Aos Objetos / Balada Unidimensional - Private Press Vinyl

Outside of Brazil Lelo Nazario is unfortunatly no household name .Recognized as a very original composer and pianist and one of the creators of GRUPO UM, he works in the areas of avant-garde , musique concrete and jazz. Trying to find more info on I did discover , and was not surprised that he had also worked , with Hermeto Pascoal and luiz Roberto Oliveira . An exceptional pianist indeed , but this skillfully crafted musique concrete pressed on 45 rpm vinyl slab should make head turns !!
Discurso aos objectos (1978) , full of concrete wizardry and unpredictable complexity could make Krishna turn into a bad boy !
Balada Unidimensional (1983) teaming up with guitarist Paulo Bellinati , shows traits of heart felt classical guitar improve , closely followed and answered by Nazario

Ivan Pequeno-Ahora!- Eleven

Chilean native with this remarkable album on the small french label Eleven.

Multi instrumentalist Ivan Pequeno was born in 1945 , in the 60's he moved to Paris to continue his studies , and worked with Max Deutsch, and Jorge Arriagada.

This is the only album I know from Pequeno , though I did discover him from a retrospective CD of Chilliean Electroacoustic music.

Totally brilliant , electronic and concrete with strong socialist message . Pinochet led Chili was no happy place.

I hope Mr Pequeno won't mind that for the audio sample I allowed my self to put the whole of side A.

Jocy De Olivieira Estorias Para Voz Instrumentos Acusticos E Electronicos - 1981

Composer and pianist Jocy de Oliveira was born in Curitiba and spent her youth in São Paulo. In contrast to many Brazilian musicians she has spent a very significant part of her career outside Brazil, with study in Paris and many international concert performances and recordings. Her interpretations of the Catalogue des Oiseaux and the Vingt Regards by Olivier Messiaen were issued by Vox in the seventies. Her recent work in music theater is available on a number of compact discs. Inori à prostituta sagrada (RER) and Illud tempus (O.O. Discs) are the first and second parts of a trilogy that was concluded with As Malibrans (2000). She is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Music.

This album , shows many different facets of Oliveira , as a composer , and as pianist . It comes highly recommended.

I will be honest in telling you , that is release can be dificult to find ; It is a vinyl only , though it has been re-issued on Creel pone (in very limited quantities).
