BIO - CLUES ALONG THE WAY
I am a Brazilian jazz guitarist and composer. Around the world it is said that I play "Brazilian lyrical jazz". It's all right. It's beautiful to hear.
My musical life was founded on Egberto Gismonti, Johann Sebastian Bach, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Heitor Villa-lobos and W. A. Mozart.
I make no distinction to musical genres. My music brings the natural connection of the guitar to classical music, jazz, choro and samba.
I love the Brazilian literature and admire Russian writers, especially Vladimir Nabukov.
I like philosophy, languages, human behavior, Arabian culture, airplanes and plastic models. I also like looking at pictures of faces - Sharbat Gula, Luiza Brunet, Audrey Hepburn, Miles Davis and Chat Baker, who is one of the saddest and most beautiful faces I've ever seen.
My immense joy: artists who woke me to music praised my CDs. Edu Lobo, Ulisses Rocha, Roberto Menescal and Sid Jacobs are some of those whom I love and respect immensely.
I performed several times in Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Austria, Luxembourg, Holland and Uruguay.
The silence inspires me.
I just remember a line by Caetano Veloso: "João Gilberto is one of the few reasons that justify breaking the silence."
