TONIGHT IN NYC: SEU JORGE WITH NEW CD AT THE BLUE NOTE
Seu Jorge will be performing songs from his new CD and other favorits at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Wednesday & Thursday, July 17th & 18th, plus Saturday & Sunday, July 20th & 21st and Tuesday and Wednesday, July 23rd & 24th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Listening to this remarkable album for the first time you'll surely be struck first by the deep, soul-piercing voice of that great Brazilian singer, Seu Jorge.Many may know him as an actor for his screen-stealing performances in the likes of Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic, Fernando Meirelles' City Of God and Walter Salles' Linha de Passe, but Seu has known since he was a child that we was destined to sing. He's a Brazilian singer who speaks the truth through samba, to paraphrase a well-known Seu Jorge quote. But this project is about a band: Almaz. Drummer Pupillo and guitarist Lucio Maia from the stalwart Nacao Zumbi; bassist and composer Antonio Pinto from the soundstages of movies starring Seu Jorge. They came together naturally to record a song for a Salles film; they enjoyed the experience so much that they recorded an entire album of music that inspired them. Songs famous within the Brazilian diaspora mesh with classic American and European soul songs begging for a bit of psychedelic samba. They enlisted producer and fellow Brazileiro Mario C. (Beastie Boys, Jack Johnson) to put the finishing touches on the project. Their album is both warm and dark; psychedelic and yet grounded, uplifting but at times somber. To listen to it is to join them in the studio, where the only bandleader is the music and the only agenda is to follow your heart. Call for cover/minimum information.
