PROG REVIEWER

This is Hermeto Pascoal's debut from 1972. Miles Davis once said that Hermeto was one of the most important musicians on the planet. Hermeto played on "Live Evil" a Miles Davis release and he composed the three tracks he plays on. Airto Moriera calls Hermeto Brazil's best arranger and that's what kept coming up was that Pascoal is a genius at arranging music. He is an accomplished guitarist, flautist and keyboardist without formal training. Heck Ron Carter, Joe Farrel and Don Butterfield are on here and more and this is Hermeto's debut!

The music is best reviewed on a Jazz site not a Prog site as this is traditional, acoustic sounding Jazz with one track departing to more of a latin feel. I believe they had a Conductor here as they more or less sat around the stage in a circle. This is on me as I didn't do my homework before buying this. I was hoping for a "Slaves Mass" type record which is Hermeto's 1977 release and my favourite. I'm really surprised with this one but this just isn't my music but if your into this style you need to check this out.
