TIMELESS

Folk-jazz composer/arranger Arthur Verocai was born in?Rio de Janeiro. He has created challenging arrangements?and compositions for Brazilian artists Jorge Ben, Ivan Lins,?Leny Andrade and Gal Costa. In 1972 Verocai recorded a?self-titled solo LP. It is a stunningly innovative effort. It puts?Verocai into a rarified field with the heavy string oriented?music of Charles Stepney, David Axelrod and Frank?Zappa. Released in a period marked by the Brazilian?military government, the album fared poorly. Following its?re-issue in 2003 the album has become a highly influential?oft sampled classic (see Ludacris, MF Doom and Little?Brother). The performance of this seminal 1972 record in?its entirety brought the capacity Luckmann crowd to a?stand still. According to Verocai, he had never played the?record, alive or dead! His delight at the opportunity to play?this music 37 years later can be seen on the DVD. The?music has been mixed by Verocai himself in Rio. History?turned on its head and musical justice served.??Tracks:?A1. Karina?A2. Sylvia?A3. Dedicada a ela?A4. Velho Parente?B1. Presente Grego?B2. O Mapa?B3. Pelas Sombras?B4. Caboclo?B5. Seriado?B6.
