At the turn of the 1960s, shortly after the outbreak of bossa nova music, the clubs of Rio and Sao Paulo doubled as a kind of laboratory for instrumental groups which played not only the latest compositions by Tom Jobim, João Gilberto and Vinicius de Moraes, João Donato, Johnny Alf and Carlos Lyra, but also a number of other genres such as pre-bossa nova samba and choro.
The style conventionally called samba-jazz attracted numerous ensembles that included Tamba Trio, Zimbo Trio, Sambalanço Trio, among many others and bands headed by Sergio Mendes, Edison Machado, J.T Meirelles, Raul de Souza and Tião Neto.
It so happens that, more than five decades after the dissemination of that school and that language, Misturada (Mixed) emerges as the first CD of the Caixa Cubo Trio, adding new meaning to the term samba-jazz while respectfully redeeming and renewing, with a modern touch, the timeless repertoire of the great masters of Brazilian music.
The names in the honoree team dispense with introduction: Dorival Caymmi in 'Maricotinha', with unprecedented arrangement by Dori Caymmi, Airto Moreira, in the theme song that lends its name to the album, Juventino Maciel in 'Cadência', Dominguinhos in 'Choro pro Miudinho', Hermeto Pascoal in' Coalhada' and Vinicius de Moraes and Edu Lobo in 'Arrastão'.
The creative mixture of Misturada is further enhanced by the special attendance of two respected Brazilian musicians: Nailor Proveta, playing the clarinet in 'Remexendo', composed by Radamés Gnattali and Teco Cardoso with playing the bamboo flute in 'Ponteio # 45' and 'Amphibious'.
Apart from being accomplished instrumentalists, Henrique Gomide, João Fideles and Noa Stroeter also reveal their extreme creativity in the compositions 'Shot # 4' (Gomide / Fideles) and 'Bolero para Zulma' (Noa Stroeter).
Anyway, the result is here to be heard, in an album produced by three protagonists and that comes out of the oven not as a promise, but as a reality. It is a reality because all the technical refinement of Henrique, João and Noa would be of no use if it were not for the soul and the feeling that they instill into this flawless and perennial repertoire. Music says thanks.
