Duo Caramuru/Baldanza – Bossa In The Shadows
2007, Labor Records
https://bit.ly/2ZdrNT6
Anything, and I mean anything recorded by Brazilian pianist and composer Fabio Caramuru is a treat. Team him with bass guitarist Pedro Baldanza and it’s going to be a good time. This Sao Paolo based duo blends Brazilian Classical and popular musical styles to create musical magic, and also interpret songs from Brazilian and North American artists along the way. Drawing on American Jazz traditions and styles, Duo Caramuru/Baldanza add in dashes of Brazilian musical culture to create a sound that is both foreign and familiar; familiar yet new.
One of the reasons that Brazilian Jazz draws so many devotees is that there is still a view of Jazz as an art form instead of platform in Brazil. The focus here is still on making great music, rather than seeing how many notes an instrumentalist can fit into a run. There is an understanding that there are times for such polyphonic spree, but also times when more said when less is spoken. Fabio Caramuru is a master at knowing what to say with his piano, and when to say it. He understands when a moment of silence is more musical than any notes he might choose to play, and Pedro Baldanza is the ultimate foil to Caramuru’s artistry. Bossa In The Shadows is an on-going discussion between these two great artists that should have tongues wagging from New Orleans to New York to wherever Jazz finds a home.
There are too many highlights – passages even, to mention specific songs or moments. If you are an aficionado of great jazz, or if you are a neophyte who wants to experience and understand the artistry of the form, then Bossa In The Shadows is essential listening for you.
Rating: 5 Stars (Out of 5)

Cante com seu filho!
Moramos numa casa musical. Aqui todo mundo gosta de música, de todos os tipos, para todos os estados de espírito.
Meu marido toca piano maravilhosamente bem, eu já toquei flauta doce e violão popular, mas atualmente estou super enferrujada e não toco mais nada. Nosso pequeno curte de tudo um pouco, não se interessou por nenhum instrumento em particular ainda, mas ADORA cantar e decora letras com uma facilidade incrível!
Esse CD eu comprei quase sem querer, nem me lembro bem como o encontrei, mas me lembro de ter achado o título uma fofura e de ter gostado por ser basicamente tocado ao piano.
A caixinha que acompanha é a coisa mais fofa: caderninho com as letras para pais e filhos cantarem juntos, figurinhas para jogo da memória e muita cor e alegria.
Recomendo para ter em casa e recomendo como presente para os amiguinhos.
Eu comprei o meu na Livraria Cultura.
The Zinc presents for one show only, Tuesday November 16, from 7 to 9pm, extraordinary Brazilian pianist, composer, arranger FABIO CARAMURU, a São Paulo native, who has garnered great critical momentum with the release of his “JOBIM BY CARAMURU” a definitive robust 2 cd recording of the master’s compositions, with Caramuru’s take on it.
Caramuru’s work range from playing with his duo with bassist Pedro Baldanza, with a very innovative album “BOSSA IN THE SHADOWS”, with the Duo. One could not leave his “MOODS, REFLECTIONS, MOODS” incredible solo album, with compositions from Jobim to Camargo Guarnieri and Richard Rogers to popular Brazilian folk songs.
On this solo concert, New Yorkers who are discovering Caramuru, will be delighted with his handling of jazz, classical, popular and folkloric compositions, that made his diversified career a success in relative short time.
Caramuru was born in São Paulo in 1956 and, although he had some serious training and credentials as a young pianist, he began his professional career as an architect. It was not too long, however, before he exchanged the art of frozen music for that of liquid architecture. In 1980 he received a French government scholarship, enabling him to go to Paris where he studied with the Brazilian-French pianist Magda Tagliaferro. After his return to Brazil, he became director of the Magda Tagliaferro Foundation in São Paulo and Cultural Coordinator of the Brazil-United States Cultural Institute. He was involved with many musical projects including a festival of the music of Camargo Guarnieri, a Magda Tagliaferro Festival, a Brazilian music history project and, among his many recordings, an album of Brazilian composers and also his piano solo arrangements of Tom Jobim. In 2005, the French pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque performed the première of Tom Jobim’s Chovendo na Roseira, which led to the first of a series of new arrangements for two pianos written by Fábio Caramuru. With the bass player Pedro Baldanza, he formed the Duo Caramuru/Baldanza and the two musicians have also worked with the singer Magda Painno, using classical, jazz, popular and even folkloric elements in new and original combinations. Caramuru’s most recent works include his performance as soloist with the Symphonic Brass Orchestra of São Paulo, Symphonic Orchestra of the São Paulo University and Jazz Symphonic Orchestra, playing, with this last one, special arrangements of Nino Rota’s and Richard Rodgers movie soundtracks; the concerts with the singers Fernando Portari and Magda Painno; his double-CD Piano – Tom Jobim por Fábio Caramuru, to celebrate the 80th Tom Jobim’s anniversary and his innovative and acclaimed CD Bossa in the Shadows, with the remarkable contribution of the bass player Pedro Baldanza.
