........................................................

No início da década de 80, surgiu um dos mais importantes grupos de Porto Alegre, o Raiz de Pedra. Pedro Tagliani - violão e guitarra, Márcio Tubino - flauta e saxofones e César Audi - bateria criaram uma nova linguagem de Jazz progressivo que os tornaria conhecidos e respeitados por toda a Europa.

Gravaram na Alemanha, em 1989, o álbum Pictures e mais tarde em 1996, o álbum Diário de Bordo que contou com a participação de Egberto Gismonti como pianista e co-arranjador. Desde então, o grupo Raiz de Pedra tem atuado em shows e trabalhos individuais pelo exterior.

************************

Recorded live in 1987, this album presents one of the most interesting South American groups - the instrumental quintet Raiz De Pedra from Brazil. Although often referred to as a jazz group, they play a completely original type of music, with a lot of jazzy influences but very far from conventional jazz. In fact they are much closer to Rio groups, like Univers Zero, than to any mainstream jazz. Fronted by the excellent reeds and flute player Márcio Tubino, they play their “far out” music with ease and elegance. The compositions are very unconventional, with offbeat rhythms and tempos. The guitar and keyboards (when not soloing) often support the saxophone by creating layers of electronic sounds and the rhythm section (strengthened by a guest percussionist) provides a polyrhythmic drive. In short this is one of those uncanny albums that make your ears stand up when you hear it for the first time and tempt you to return to it time after time to really get it all. Warmly recommended.
