Description:
Amaro Freitas, a jazz pianist who transcends the boundaries of Brazil and is active worldwide, announces his long-awaited new album "Y'Y"! Amaro Freitas, a jazz pianist who transcends the boundaries of Brazil and is active internationally, announces his long-awaited new album "Y'Y"! This is a further update of fresh and "decolonized" Brazilian jazz, with such splendid guests as Shabaka Hutchings, Brandy Younger, and Jeff Parker." Amaro Freitas is a jazz pianist from Recife, northeastern Brazil, who has received worldwide acclaim for his "astonishingly unique approach to the keyboard" (Downbeat). This album, "Y'Y," was inspired by his experience in Manaus, a city in the Amazon basin where he spent 2020, and features many pieces inspired by nature and indigenous people. Compared to his previous works, which were based on a piano trio formation, this album is more of a solo project for Amaro, and presents a deeper and more spiritual world, making full use of internal piano techniques, thumb piano, percussion, and more.The work is also reminiscent of the work of his hometown predecessor, Nana Vasconcelos, and his ally, Egberto Gismonti. At the same time, it serves as a link between the jazz community in the global Afro-diaspora, and the participation of Shabaka Hutchings, Brandy Younger, Jeff Parker, Aniel Somairan, and Hamid Drake is a major topic. Amaro has expanded his musicality with each work, from "Rasif" ('18), about his hometown of Recife, to "Sankofa" ('21), which shifted his perspective to the African continent, and now "Y'Y," about the Amazon and its indigenous people, is another work that is consistent in its "salvation of what was before colonization. The theme of "salvation" is a consistent one. Exploring his Brazilian roots while adding new like-minded guests and merging with the current trend of contemporary jazz to transcend history, this work will undoubtedly be a breakthrough in Amaro's career.
