Alfredo Dias Gomes - Latin Jazz Fusion/Instrumental (Brazil)


Drummer Alfredo Dias Gomes releases his eleventh solo album, Solar, totally authorial and unpublished. A somewhat different proposition from the last works that had a much more jazz-rock outfit. Here, he decided to show in the root how he creates his compositions and made the whole basis of this work using ProTools virtual keyboards. It basically used render fender sounds. acoustic piano, clavinet and mini moog, plus the bass lines using the fingersbass, fretless and bass bent one octave below. 

A very special guest joined him in this work as a soloist, saxophonist Widor Santiago. A very unusual invitation, because when done Alfredo simply said, "It's just going to be both of us." Interestingly, at the end of the recording session, he even asked if it was not better to call a bassist, for a very sincere and humorous response from Widor - "Dude, I didn't notice that there was no bassist".
Widor, incidentally, participated in almost all Alfredo Dias Gomes records. In the repertoire, a theme composed in 1980 at the request of his mother, Janete Clair, for a character from the novel Winged Heart who received the name of “Viajante”, a baião that was also recorded by Dominguinhos and tells about a Northeast who came to win life in Rio de Janeiro. At that time Alfredo played in Hermeto Pascoal's band and was breathing Brazilian music.
