Maurice Ronet in The Fire Within (1963)
I’d go with this one if Daniel Day Lewis was not an option.
Maurice Ronet delivers such a unique and authentic performance that he embodies the depths of depression and loneliness unlike anything you’ll see
@CaioDia36798182 Ele chegou a ter um bar de jazz em Tokyo e anunciou a doação da coleção (ainda por acontecer) de mais de 10000 discos para uma universidade https://t.co/pMpavrobim
@umlitrodeletras Ahh, faz todo sentido. O sabor é suave e delicado. Na realidade só não me chamou muito a atenção, perfil de sabor mesmo.
Obrigado pela dica do bacalhau, vou testar! 🙏
Rest in peace, Hermeto…
The world mourns the loss of Brazil’s musical alchemist, Hermeto Pascoal, who passed at 89.
From Alagoas’ humble roots, this self-taught maestro spun sounds from teapots, bottles, and even farm animals into genre-defying symphonies.
Collaborating with legends like Miles Davis and earning Latin Grammys, he composed a song for every day of the year, each bursting with his untamed spirit. Hermeto didn’t just play music—he lived it, weaving joy and chaos into every note...
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal.
Known as “O Bruxo” (the sorcerer) for his unique ability to blend Brazilian rhythms and jazz into innovative works. A self-taught prodigy, he played instruments like the accordion and flute from a young age, becoming a vital figure in post-bossa nova Brazilian jazz. His influential career included collaborations with Miles Davis and landmark albums like Slaves Mass, and he was a prolific composer, with over 10,000 compositions to his name.
Pascoal frequently created music using unconventional objects—teapots, children’s toys, animals—as well as more familiar instruments like keyboards, button accordions, melodica, saxophones, guitars, flutes, voices, brass, and folkloric instruments. Nature itself often served as the foundation for his compositions: in Música da Lagoa, for instance, musicians immerse themselves in a lagoon, burbling water and playing glass bottles and flutes. A 1999 Brazilian television broadcast captured Pascoal soloing by singing into a cup while his mouth was partly submerged. Equally central to his work is the influence of rural Brazilian folk traditions.
Visionary graphic designer Reid Miles was born on this day July 4, 1927. In 1955, Francis Wolff hired Miles to design album covers he began creating an iconic visual aesthetic that would define the look of the Blue Note Records: https://t.co/uZgi0wz9Ny
