Moacir Santos = A Musical Genius from Brazil.......2006-02-22

His childhood in the arid and remote interior of Brazil, under difficult conditions.

Despite that, at age 2 he was already playing with cans, leading a "baby band".

After several musical compositions in Brazil he moved to United States, where he lives now (Pasadena, California).

He worked as a church pianist, as a teacher and also as a "ghost writer" for some film soundtracks.

"Ghost Writer" is the composer that does not have his name published because someone paid him to do the work. Regrettable, but it is the truth. In fact he worked also as the ghost of the ghost, what happens when the ghost is very busy, so that he contracts a ghost.

Moacir is a very talented composer and arranger. Listen and enjoy.

Newest from a Brazilian master.......2006-02-16

Moacir Santos is a master composer, arranger and saxophonist. His shore is Brazilian Jazz with a combo comprising rhythm section + brass in a unique combination which is consistently applied to such original and unconventional compositions.

In the late 60s, Santos went to live in the USA where he's recorded three albums for Blue Note Records. He also became an auxiliary writer for some great arranger just like Billy Byers was to Quincy Jones.

This is his 2005 album, a totally new collection of fresh music, good music but neglectable music though played by the best Brazilian musicians in the area.

Wynton Marsalis plays a sensational solo in the album's best track.

Let it grow........2005-12-04

At first listen, I wasn't so sure. But this is fantastic! Let the voicings grow on you. There's no earth-shattering-ness here. But you can hear Moacir's voice through guest arrangements (even). And it's very distinct. I'm sure he deserves something more than obscurity, but most people won't have the patience to hear what's very, very unique here. It grows!
