Re: gismonti
Hi Tilmann,
Bruce here.
You've hit the bull's-eye.
"Loro" is a fantastic work. It's a Brazilian groove called baião.
I've heard Egberto plays the out-chrous one of two ways: either
accelerating to light speed or slowing to complete motionlessness.
Either way, it's striking!
Gismonti definitely cares about sound! He's a master.
Best,
B.G.
