Trio Canastra rides again in Sp

2012-02-08T03:11:00.000-08:00

I have a gig with my friends from Trio Canastra- choro music every thursday of february in Sao Paulo , Br

http://www.octaviocafe.com/port/noticias.asp?id_noticia=181

Dando segmento ao projeto “Café Cultural”, que tem a proposta de levar diversão e arte aos clientes da cafeteria, o Octavio Café preparou uma programação especial este mês com apresentações semanais de um trio de choro no happy hour, às 18h30. A “Quinta-Feira Musical”, sob a curadoria do músico e compositor Juliano d’Horta Beccari, retorna sua atividades deste ano com o Grupo Canastra, formado por Fernando Maricondi (flauta), Evandro Gracelli (cavaquinho) e Remo Pellegrini (violão de sete cordas). O trio pode contar ainda com pandeiro e um segundo instrumento solista, como o sax tenor ou o bandolim.

A banda surge na cena paulistana revisitando o repertório tradicional de Pixinguinha, Waldir Azevedo e Jacob do Bandolim e reinterpretando os contemporâneos, Paulinho da Viola, Chico Buarque e Egberto Gismonti, com a leveza característica criada pelos músicos cariocas do século 18 para interpretar temas conhecidos da época.

Segundo Pellegrini, cada integrante do trio veio de um caminho diferente do choro. Ele tocava música instrumental brasileira, mas também tocava e cantava MPB, enquanto Maricondi tocava em orquestras, com conhecimento principalmente de música erudita, e Gracelli é guitarrista de blues, jazz e música brasileira instrumental e violonista. “Decidimos nos unir, informalmente, e tocar alguns choros, que já soavam muito bem. Montamos um repertório e nos apresentamos pela primeira vez em 2005”, conta.

Quinta-Feira Musical traz shows de chorinho em fevereiro

Five questions for Evandro Gracelli (by Justin Duhaime)

Very soon, Ottawa will be one very distinctive guitarist/vocalist short. In a few days, Evandro Gracelli will be returning to his native Brazil after spending two years in Ottawa (he moved here in 2009 with his daughter to follow his wife who was studying criminology at the doctoral at the University of Ottawa).

Gracelli’s last Ottawa gig will be a final show Thursday (Dec. 1) at the Mercury Lounge with his quartet (reed player Jasmin Lalande, bassist/pianist Silvio Modolo, percussionist Angel Araos) — and, I expect, more than a few musical friends wanting to bid him adeus.

1) What are some of the things you did here while you wife was in school?
This time here I could go for my acoustic guitar, the nylon thing, playing with [guitarist] Rene Gely… I got a weekly gig in a Portuguese restaurant that helped me practice chord/melody [thing] and also singing/comping…

Being here made realize a lot of things that you lose when you’re unfocused. That sometimes your life [gets] stuck.

2) How did you find Ottawa?
Here there’s another vibe in the air, the time is different and Ottawa , it’s a cool city with cool people so I have time to be more creative to practice and study. I had this time, and enjoyed it lots.

The years here made me have another view of life — [like] a different human being. Your country is amazing.

I had a chance to live in a small city, being part of a community and could learn more about GIVING YOURSELF. Canada is a special place. Obrigado. I don’t know if I’m too philosophical.

3) What do you think about the music scene in the Ottawa/Gatineau region?
Man, there’s a lots of great musicians that need to be connected. I played last Friday in Buckingham (the Buckingham Jazz Festival). Man, there’s a guitar man there, Jean, I think, a great man. So there’s a lots of good players around, and that’s good.

4) How did you connect with the musicians you know and play with?
Man, move yourself. Naturally I met great people. We have to keep the vibe and listen, talk, exchange. Be open — jazz, blues, Latin, folk, free, gypsy — all can talk and be mixed. I do it like this, so I had luck meeting Rene Gely, Roddy Elias, Florquesta Brasil, Sol da Capital, Roda de Samba…. Lots of good music that help and give space to put my voice.

5) Do you have plans for when you’re back in Brazil?
Next week I’ll be back in Brazil and return in my home town, Vitória. I have a solo concert on Dec. 10.

Guitarist Evandro Gracelli plays Thursady, Dec. 1 from 9 to 11 p.m. at the Mercury Lounge. Admission: $10.

enjoy it.

Brazilian Percussion Workshop June 26 th. Ottawa

2011-05-30T08:46:00.001-07:00

THE HIDDEN SOUNDS OF BRAZIL

Traditional Brazilian Rhythms and Styles
A Percussion Experience

This one-day long workshop introduces the essential historical roots of Brazilian music, demonstrating how various important styles are authentically played, the original instrumentation of these styles, and finally, the experience extended to the participants to actually play these styles as a percussion ensemble. Through exhaustive research material (such as rare recordings, videotapes of some of the most important street feasts of Brazil, CDs, transcriptions) and live demonstrations, participants learn the various patterns that compose key rhythms of various Brazilian grooves, playing together as a percussion section.

Morning – 10:00am – 12:00pm
1. An overview – What makes Brazilian music Brazilian
• The African, European and Brazilian Indian musical components;
• The Brazilian sound and feel;
• Main differences between Brazilian music and music from the other Latin American countries;

2. Musical elements that form the base of some of the most important, and some not-so-well-known, Brazilian Rhythms and Styles:

Samba – Samba-de-Roda, Escolas de Samba, Batucada, Partido Alto, Bossa-nova;
Baião – Forró, Côco, Xote, Arrasta-Pé;
Maracatu de Baque Virado – from the Coronation feasts of the “Kings and Queens of the Slaves” (Congo) to the street feasts from the Carnival in Recife;
And also Ijexá, Frevo, Moçambique, Jongo;

3. Hands-On – Throughout the whole workshop participants will be playing Brazilian percussion instruments, experiencing the rhythms and grooves from the percussion section perspective;

12:00 – 1:00pm – Lunch break

Afternoon
1:00 - 2:30 – “Ritmica” - A unique approach to rhythmic development through practical exercises designed to develop in the participants a stronger sense of rhythm, helping them to internalize and to feel rhythmic figures and patterns.

2:30 – 3:15 – Percussion Ensemble practice – Another session of experiencing the rhythms and grooves through the percussion instruments.

3:15 – 3:30 – Coffee Break

3:30 – 5:00 – A concert with the “Rogerio Boccato Quarteto”, with the participation of the attendants as a percussion ensemble presenting part of the work done through the workshop in a few of the arrangements.

Featured on two Grammy-nominated albums, Brazilian percussionist and educator Rogerio Boccato plays in projects led by some of today’s leading jazz players, among them Danilo Perez, John Patitucci, Edward Simon, and David Binney. As a longtime member of the “Orquestra Jazz Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo”, Rogério has played with Antonio Carlos Jobim, Hermeto Pascoal, Milton Nascimento, Egberto Gismonti, João Bosco, Joe Zawinul, among many others. Boccato has been teaching Brazilian music at universities and Summer camps for over 10 years, and he is a faculty member of The Manhattan School of Music in NYC, The Hartt School, and The Purchase College.

2010-11-30T06:45:00.000-08:00

The Beausoleil/Gracelli Project

Rachel Beausoleil and Evandro Gracelli in concert
at the NAC’s 4th Stage.

The NAC’s 4th Stage presents the Beausoleil/Gracelli Project, on Thursday, December 2, 2010, at 7:30 p.m. Singer/songwriter Rachel Beausoleil and guitarist/composer Evandro Gracelli have prepared a whole new show of original songs, combined with some of their favourites from the Brazillian tradition. To bring it all alive they will be surrounded by Marc Decho on bass, Jasmin Lalande on woodwinds and Angel Araos on percussion.

The Beausoleil/Gracelli Project began several months ago when Rachel and Evandro met and decided to compose music together. It was a case of instant musical chemistry, fueled by their shared admiration for composers such as Milton Nascimento and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Then one night they played, on spec, with Marc Decho and Jasmin Lalande, and the sound lit up like it was on fire! With the addition of Angel Araos, this promises to be a very exciting night of original music and bossa nova/samba rhythms.

Brazilian born, Gracelli has been turning heads since he arrived in Canada over a year ago, with many local musicians vying for his time. Beausoleil, who is known locally for her dramatic singing style, is exploring her lifelong dream of writing her own music. This quintet is guaranteed to give you shivers.

Tickets are $20 and are available at the NAC box office, or through Ticketmaster (613) 755-1111. To hear samples from Rachel’s two existing CD’s, please visit www. rachelbeausoleil.ca.

Reservations recommended

René Gely – piano
Evandro Gracelli – guitar, vocals
Rob Graves - percussion
Evandro Gracelli is a multi-talented musician from Sao Paolo, Brazil, who has recently relocated to Ottawa. We are lucky to have him. A student of Nelson Faria and from the University of Campinas in Sâo Paolo, Evandro is a superb guitarist/ singer/ and plays the enchanting cavaquino (a kind of a Brazilian ukelele).

René Gely has been performing in the Ottawa area with his world fusion group Pulse Mondiale, and is currently recording a CD of this music. He looks forward to playing Brazilian music with a master, and their repertoire will consist of many new and unheard songs from Evandro's huge repertoire of Brazilian music.

(Your Ottawa Jazz Scene editors saw René and Evandro play together at Brookstreet in February, and were extremely impressed.)
