Hermeto Pascoal is a noted Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist. His compositions appear on albums by Miles Davis and other jazz heavyweights. Pascoal’s sextet is an extra--sensory musical unit that has been with him for over 40 years and used to rehearse daily. The music runs from the lyrical and romantic to raucous, from folkloric to his futuristic angular melodies, often creating a dense barrage of sound. The band sometimes uses synthesizers and saxophones as well as a battery of invented instruments—hub caps, teapots, and bowls of rocks— guided by Hermeto’s wizardry and benevolent spirit

There have been few musicians to ever reach the stature of Hermeto Pascoal. A true maestro and a cultural icon, he represents the highest level of musical evolution; as a multi-instrumentalist, as a composer, and as an arranger. Once described by Miles Davis as 'the most impressive musician in the world', there is good reason (beyond his Gandalf-like appearance) why he is known as 'O Bruxo' (the Wizard).

A self-taught musician, Hermeto Pascoal ascended from his humble upcountry origins to an international acknowledgment still unfair to his musical stature. Developing his ears from an early age at his grandfather's blacksmith shop, Pascoal used to pick up pieces of iron and hit them, trying to create music (not to emulate the harmonics of his father's eight-bass button accordion, as has been spread). This led to an unusual approach to music, where the tones themselves give a stronger conducting motif than chord connection, scales, or modes. His understanding of music as a vital force, emanating organically from everything in Earth. He has also developed the Sound of the Aura concept, in which music is developed out of people's speech, traffic noise, and out of every possible source of sound.

Banda Metalurgia — Banda Metalurgia (1982)

If you’ve ever yearned for Brazilian jazz‑rock fusion with soulful Latin Jazz and Bossa Nova tendencies, tuned through a big‑band lens, Banda Metalurgia’s sole 1982 LP is pure gold. Formed in São Bernardo do Campo, SP, by a group of childhood friends from the Banda Mirim do Baeta Neves, they delivered a sound deeply rooted in their local community and streetwise musical upbringing.

The Album & Its Soundscape

Their eponymous album on Som da Gente (catalog SDG 013/82) contains 12 instrumental tracks—each one a gem. Think dynamic grooves, lively brass arrangements, and hypnotic rhythms that seamlessly weave Latin jazz with Bossa Nova and fusion sensibilities. Whether it's the punchy opener 'Multinacional', the breezy sway of 'Amarelo', or the groovy big‑band flair in 'A Salsa e o Cheiro Verde', the record is textured, inventive, and distinctly Brazilian in spirit.

This powerful ensemble brought together seasoned young talents:

#Bocato (#ItacyrBocatoJúnior) – trombone and primary composer of many tracks

#LinoSimão – sax (tenor & baritone), flute, piccolo

#NonôCamargo – trumpet & flugelhorn

#CláudioFaria – trumpet & flugelhorn

#Jacaré – alto saxophone & flute

#JulioPeluchi – tenor saxophone

#MarceloMunari – guitar

#EduFiore – bass

#ManéLeão – piano (acoustic & electric)

#ClaudioBaeta (Cláudio Baeta) – drums

Truly a big‑band lineup—yet vibrant, flexible, and intimate, maintaining that improvisational fusion edge.
