Life & Work

  • Bio: Munich

    I was eight when I started playing piano. My rapid classical success slowed down to a crawl, however, with the discovery of Boogie Woogie and Rock'n'Roll. Unforgettable is the first time I heard Little Richards "Tutti Frutti". The raw power and relentless energy mesmerized me. Then my grandfather gave me a snare drum for my birthday. This greatly shocked my parents but they grinned and endured all more or less joyous noise emanating from our cellar over the next many years while I added piece by piece and command to that arsenal. Above a photo from our first real band "Steelyard Blues" (where am I?), which later became "Das Syndikat".

    I saw the light with seventeen that piano was to be my real calling and focused on the piano again. By the time I turned ten, I knew I wanted be a musician (I don't recall this but a verified source told me so). However, circumstances did nor allow me to fully acknowledge this fact until my beginning twenties. Eventually I studied piano with Milos Radosevic who is the last real bohemian. I learned about life, back gammon, chess, women, neurosis (his), the piano and music as a gift from the spheres. His explanations of the musical pieces at hand turned into romantic treatises, themselves masterpieces of poetry and invention wanting to be realized. He gave ma a palette and showed me how to mix colors yet leaving the canvases and subjects up to me to discover. A lot I now know about music is rooted in that time. Little seeds were planted left to flourish and nourished by life.

    In '85 I started the Munich Jazz School and studied with Max Neissendörfer. Up until then Jazz was interesting to me but completely beyond my comprehension. And after two years there the only thing I knew for sure that I had to go study in the States. The first advice on where to lay my head was to come from Herb Ellis after an amazing concert of Triple Treat (Oscars old trio with Herb, Ray Brown and Monty Alexander), he simply told me to go to North Texas State "Them guys know their scales". Yess Sir! And that's where I went. NTSU (then, now it's called UNT) seemed to actually care to have me and eventually even gave me a scholarship. I convinced Cristopher, my oldest friend and music buddy to come along and off we went.

    Denton, Texas

    Well there I was pursuing a degree in Jazz studies dealing with freshman English, Texan beauties, a stiff classical requirement ... and buying a Cadillac. A '74 Eldorado with a 501 motor, black with red leather interior, a Jacuzzi in the back (almost), a miles to gallon ratio of about 10:1 on a good day and on and on. It soon become known as the U.S.S. Geissendoerfer and the Bat mobile. In it's second year and after breaking down close to twenty times within three months we got rid of it. Here is what we learned: a car is like a woman: if you have a beauty, take best care of her, repair her, invest in her, but don not get her fixed (meaning a quick repair job), 'cause fixin' it just creates more problems. We had this car mechanic who managed to say more swearwords in one sentence then most of us in a week, all the while maintaining a very cool air and occasionally spitting out of the side of his mouth, screaming over his shoulders to the other guys, his kids, his wife, and telling you that he'll fix it. He was a good mechanic, no doubt, but hampered by our small wallet and his wish to see us soon again.

    On it was to Hartford. From '93-95 I spent two interesting years living in Hartford. Besides accompanist for the Connecticut Opera Express 1995, the Hartford Ballet 1994/5, and being a German instructor at the Universities Of Hartford I was able to hook up with Giovanni Hidalgo. It was one of those fabled late night encounters when the telephone rang on a Tuesday at 11.20 p.m., "What are you doing on the weekend?" "Well I have .." "... Cancel it, you are playing with Giovanni." Dancing, jumping to the ceiling ensued and loud fairly primate sounding calls escaped my vocal chords.

    Admittedly, had I not just returned from Cuba - where I relished in the presence of maestro Chucho Valdes, playing duets and witnessing fascinating pianistic feasts. God can he play! - I had not the slightest chance to stay aboard, as it was I learned a lot of what I didn't know very quickly.

    However It was my first foray into touring real Jazz festivals et al.

    I had this great group in Hartford, the Swingle Belles. Three Opera singers, two mezzos, one soprano and myself - no I did not sing - revamped the classic Christmas repertoire embedded in a hour show that was really good. It's funny in Hartford everybody thought it was New York quality, yet in New York we never came together again, save one short lived attempt. Who knows ... nah!

    Finally in 1995 I moved to New York City. Just before I moved to New York, Brooklyn that is, I met William Cepeda who turned out to be a fairly influential individual. With him I recorded the epochal work "My roots & Beyond". We actually received a Grammy nomination for the follow up CD "Branching Out". Yet the first album is an absolute classic which sadly never received enough support through touring and management. But that's a totally different story which shall be told later, much later!

    In New York I soon learned if you are feeling overwhelmed, down and out just drive to the lower east side. Trust me you ain't doing so bad.

    So eight years later I am still here and writing this bio. Since coming here my palette of styles, rhythms, songs has vastly broadened. My appreciation for live music has quadrupled. No where can see more in day. It's manic and abrasive but like all addictions you keep coming back for more.

    So here's some people I met played and/or recorded with since coming here: Slide Hampton, Vince Cherico, Luis Bonilla, Gregory Jones, Mario Rodriguez, Harvie S, Omar Kabir, Eddie Allen, Ari Hoenig, Mark Walker, John Benitez, Tito Puente, The Big Apple Circus, Mario Rivera, Blood Sweat & Tears, Leslie Uggams, Cirque du Soleil, Ute Lemper, Peter Brainin, Nicki Marero, Luis Quintero, Richard Bona, Jay Rodriguez, ... the list goes on. It is truly amazing how many truly gifted musicians arrive literally every month.

    In 1996 I had the chance to jump in for Rebecca Mauleon and become a teacher and workshop leader at the Afrocubanismo! '96 in Banff, Alberta, Canada, together with Chucho Valdés

    In 2001/2 I did together with Steve Sandberg the music to the short film "Climbing Miss Sophie". It was the winner of the NYU film festival 2002 and consequently shown around the world from Cannes to the Sundance Film Festival , receiving critical acclaim.

    I have played on all kinds of Jazz Festivals from Montreux to North Sea, Tabarka, Eilat, Heineken, and more.

João had something priceless to offer the world.
But he was impossible for the world to find.
So for him, and the world, I built this matrix.

PATHWAYS
from Brazil, with love
THE MISSION: Beginning with the atavistic genius of the Recôncavo (per the bottom of this section) & the great sertão (the backlands of Brazil's nordeste) — make artists across Brazil — and around the world — discoverable as they never were before.

HOW: Integrate them into a vast matrixed ecosystem together with musicians, writers, filmmakers, painters, choreographers, fashion designers, educators, chefs et al from all over the planet (are you in this ecosystem?) such that these artists all tend to be connected to each other via short, discoverable, accessible pathways. Q.E.D.

"Matrixado! Laroyê!"
✅—Founding Member Darius Mans
Economist, PhD, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
✅—Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
President of Brazil


The matrix was created in Salvador's Centro Histórico, where Bule Bule below, among first-generation matrixed colleagues, sings "Chegou a hora dessa gente bronzeada mostrar seu valor... The time has come for these bronzed people to show their worth..."

Music & lyrics (Brasil Pandeiro) by Assis Valente of Santo Amaro, Bahia, Brazil. Video by Betão Aguiar of Salvador.

...the endeavor motivated in the first instance by the fact that in common with most cultures around our planet, the preponderance of Brazil's vast cultural treasure has been impossible to find from outside of circumscribed regions, including Brazil itself...

Thus something new under the tropical sun: Open curation beginning with Brazilian musicians recommending other Brazilian musicians and moving on around the globe...

Where by the seemingly magical mathematics of the small world phenomenon, and in the same way that most human beings are within some six or so steps of most others, all in the matrix tend to proximity to all others...

The difference being that in the matrix, these steps are along pathways that can be travelled. The creative world becomes a neighborhood. Quincy Jones is right up the street and Branford Marsalis around the corner. And the most far-flung genius you've never heard of is just a few doors down. Maybe even in Brazil.

Bahia is a hot cauldron of rhythms and musical styles, but one particular style here is so utterly essential, so utterly fundamental not only to Bahian music specifically but to Brazilian music in general — occupying a place here analogous to that of the blues in the United States — that it deserves singling out. It is derived from (or some say brother to) the cabila rhythm of candomblé angola… …and it is called…

Samba Chula / Samba de Roda

Mother of Samba… daughter of destiny carried to Bahia by Bantus ensconced within the holds of negreiros entering the great Bahia de Todos os Santos (the term referring both to a dance and to the style of music which evolved to accompany that dance; the official orthography of “Bahia” — in the sense of “bay” — has since been changed to “Baía”)… evolved on the sugarcane plantations of the Recôncavo (that fertile area around the bay, the concave shape of which gave rise to the region’s name) — in the vicinity of towns like Cachoeira and Santo Amaro, Santiago do Iguape and Acupe. This proto-samba has unfortunately fallen into the wayside of hard to find and hear…

There’s a lot of spectacle in Bahia…

Carnival with its trio elétricos — sound-trucks with musicians on top — looking like interstellar semi-trailers back from the future…shows of MPB (música popular brasileira) in Salvador’s Teatro Castro Alves (biggest stage in South America!) with full production value, the audience seated (as always in modern theaters) like Easter Island statues…

…glamour, glitz, money, power and press agents…

And then there’s where it all came from…the far side of the bay, a land of subsistence farmers and fishermen, many of the older people unable to read or write…their sambas the precursor to all this, without which none of the above would exist, their melodies — when not created by themselves — the inventions of people like them but now forgotten (as most of these people will be within a couple of generations or so of their passing), their rhythms a constant state of inconstancy and flux, played in a manner unlike (most) any group of musicians north of the Tropic of Cancer…making the metronome-like sledgehammering of the Hit Parade of the past several decades almost wincefully painful to listen to after one’s ears have become accustomed to evershifting rhythms played like the aurora borealis looks…

So there’s the spectacle, and there’s the spectacular, and more often than not the latter is found far afield from the former, among the poor folk in the villages and the backlands, the humble and the honest, people who can say more (like an old delta bluesman playing a beat-up guitar on a sagging back porch) with a pandeiro (Brazilian tambourine) and a chula (a shouted/sung “folksong”) than most with whatever technology and support money can buy. The heart of this matter, is out there. If you ask me anyway.

Above, the incomparable João do Boi, chuleiro, recently deceased.

 

 

Why Brazil?

 

Brazil is not a European nation. It's not a North American nation. It's not an East Asian nation. It straddles — jungle and desert and dense urban centers — both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn.

 

Brazil absorbed over ten times the number of enslaved Africans taken to the United States of America, and is a repository of African deities (and their music) now largely forgotten in their lands of origin.

 

Brazil was a refuge (of sorts) for Sephardim fleeing an Inquisition which followed them across the Atlantic (that unofficial symbol of Brazil's national music — the pandeiro — the hand drum in the opening scene above — was almost certainly brought to Brazil by these people).

 

Across the parched savannas of the interior of Brazil's culturally fecund nordeste/northeast, where wizard Hermeto Pascoal was born in Lagoa da Canoa (Lagoon of the Canoe) and raised in Olho d'Águia (Eye of the Eagle), much of Brazil's aboriginal population was absorbed into a caboclo/quilombola culture punctuated by the Star of David.

 

Three cultures — from three continents — running for their lives, their confluence forming a scintillatingly unprecedented fourth. Pandeirista on the roof.

 

Nowhere else but here. Brazil itself is a matrix.

CAMINHOS
do Brasil, com amor
A MISSÃO: Começando com a atávica genialidade do Recôncavo (conforme o final desta seção) e do grande sertão — tornar artistas através do Brasil — e ao redor do mundo — descobriveis como nunca foram antes.

COMO: Integrá-los num vasto ecosistema matrixado, juntos com músicos, escritores, cineastas, pintores, coreógrafos, designers de moda, educadores, chefs e outros de todos os lugares (você está neste ecosistema?) de modo que todos esses artistas tendem a estar ligados entre si por caminhos curtos, descobriveis e acessíveis. Q.E.D.

O matrix foi criado no Centro Histórico de Salvador, onde Bule Bule no clipe, entre colegas da primeira geração no matrix, canta "Chegou a hora dessa gente bronzeada mostrar seu valor..."

Música & letras (Brasil Pandeiro) por Assis Valente de Santo Amaro, Bahia. Vídeo por Betão Aguiar de Salvador.

...o empreendimento motivado na primeira instância pelo fato de que em comum com a maioria das culturas ao redor do nosso planeta, a preponderância do vasto tesouro cultural do Brasil tem sido impossível de encontrar fora de regiões circunscritas, incluindo o próprio Brasil.

Assim, algo novo sob o sol tropical: Curadoria aberta começando com músicos brasileiros recomendando outros músicos brasileiros e avançando ao redor do globo...

Onde pela matemática aparentemente mágica do fenômeno do mundo pequeno, e da mesma forma que a maioria dos seres humanos estão dentro de cerca de seis passos da maioria dos outros, todos no matrix tendem a se aproximar de todos...

Com a diferença que no matrix, estes passos estão ao longo de caminhos que podem ser percorridos. O mundo criativo se torna uma vizinhança. Quincy Jones está lá em cima e Branford Marsalis está ao virar da esquina. E o gênio distante que você nunca ouviu falar tá lá embaixo. Talvez até no Brasil.

A Bahia é um caldeirão quente de ritmos e estilos musicais, mas um estilo particular aqui é tão essencial, tão fundamental não só para a música baiana especificamente, mas para a música brasileira em geral - ocupando um lugar aqui análogo ao do blues nos Estados Unidos - que merece ser destacado. Ela deriva (ou alguns dizem irmão para) do ritmo cabila do candomblé angola... ...e é chamada de...

Samba Chula / Samba de Roda

Mãe do Samba... filha do destino carregada para a Bahia por Bantus ensconced dentro dos porões de negreiros entrando na grande Bahia de Todos os Santos (o termo refere-se tanto a uma dança quanto ao estilo de música que evoluiu para acompanhar essa dança; a ortografia oficial da "Bahia" - no sentido de "baía" - foi desde então alterada para "Baía")... evoluiu nas plantações de cana de açúcar do Recôncavo (aquela área fértil ao redor da baía, cuja forma côncava deu origem ao nome da região) - nas proximidades de cidades como Cachoeira e Santo Amaro, Santiago do Iguape e Acupe. Este proto-samba infelizmente caiu no caminho de difíceis de encontrar e ouvir...

Há muito espetáculo na Bahia...

Carnaval com seu trio elétrico - caminhões sonoros com músicos no topo - parecendo semi-reboques interestelares de volta do futuro...shows de MPB (música popular brasileira) no Teatro Castro Alves de Salvador (maior palco da América do Sul!) com total valor de produção, o público sentado (como sempre nos teatros modernos) como estátuas da Ilha de Páscoa...

...glamour, glitz, dinheiro, poder e publicitários...

E depois há de onde tudo isso veio... do outro lado da baía, uma terra de agricultores e pescadores de subsistência, muitos dos mais velhos incapazes de ler ou escrever... seus sambas precursores de tudo isso, sem os quais nenhuma das anteriores existiria, suas melodias - quando não criadas por eles mesmos - as invenções de pessoas como eles, mas agora esquecidas (pois a maioria dessas pessoas estará dentro de um par de gerações ou mais), seus ritmos um constante estado de inconstância e fluxo, tocados de uma forma diferente (a maioria) de qualquer grupo de músicos do norte do Trópico de Câncer... fazendo com que o martelo de forja do Hit Parade das últimas décadas seja quase que doloroso de ouvir depois que os ouvidos se acostumam a ritmos sempre mutáveis, tocados como a aurora boreal parece...

Portanto, há o espetáculo, e há o espetacular, e na maioria das vezes o último é encontrado longe do primeiro, entre o povo pobre das aldeias e do sertão, os humildes e os honestos, pessoas que podem dizer mais (como um velho bluesman delta tocando uma guitarra batida em um alpendre flácido) com um pandeiro (pandeiro brasileiro) e uma chula (um "folksong" gritado/cantado) do que a maioria com qualquer tecnologia e dinheiro de apoio que o dinheiro possa comprar. O coração deste assunto, está lá. Se você me perguntar de qualquer forma.

Acima, o incomparável João do Boi, chuleiro, recentemente falecido.

 

 

Por que Brasil?

 

O Brasil não é uma nação européia. Não é uma nação norte-americana. Não é uma nação do leste asiático. Compreende — selva e deserto e centros urbanos densos — tanto o equador quanto o Trópico de Capricórnio.

 

O Brasil absorveu mais de dez vezes o número de africanos escravizados levados para os Estados Unidos da América, e é um repositório de divindades africanas (e sua música) agora em grande parte esquecido em suas terras de origem.

 

O Brasil era um refúgio (de certa forma) para os sefarditas que fugiam de uma Inquisição que os seguia através do Atlântico (aquele símbolo não oficial da música nacional brasileira — o pandeiro — foi quase certamente trazido ao Brasil por esse povo).

 

Através das savanas ressequidas do interior do culturalmente fecundo nordeste, onde o mago Hermeto Pascoal nasceu na Lagoa da Canoa e cresceu em Olho d'Águia, uma grande parte da população aborígine do Brasil foi absorvida por uma cultura caboclo/quilombola pontuada pela Estrela de Davi.

 

Três culturas - de três continentes - correndo por suas vidas, sua confluência formando uma quarta cintilante e sem precedentes. Pandeirista no telhado.

 

Em nenhum outro lugar a não ser aqui. Brasil é um matrix mesmo.
