Música e músicos / Music and musicians

---

A música me acompanha desde a infância: o piano em casa (meados dos anos 40), o rádio, discos; ópera, música clássica, música popular (brasileira, norte e latino-americana, italiana, francesa). Também livros e revistas (Metronome, Down Beat, Jazz Times [EEUU]; Le Jazz Hot, Jazz Magazine [França]; Musica Jazz [Itália]) e, hoje em dia, a World Wide Web. No correr de mais de 60 anos pude ouvir muitas centenas de músicos. Obviamente, diferentes pessoas e estilos me impressionaram em diferentes épocas por diferentes motivos — Chopin antes de Bach; o swing antes do bebop; Tony Mottola e Billy Bauer muito antes de Johnny Smith ou Pat Martino; boogie-woogie antes de Dave Brubeck ou Oscar Peterson. Mas ter ouvido, na adolescência, músicos como Art Tatum, Lennie Tristano, Bud Powell, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, e grandes orquestras como as de Stan Kenton e Woody Herman (especialmente sua Third Herd ) e as gravações dos Metronome All Stars, foi com certeza um ponto decisivo de mudança de rumo. A relação abaixo inclui muitos (mas com certeza não a totalidade) daqueles cuja música tem constituido parte tão importante de minha vida, relacionados em ordem aleatória. Novos nomes serão acrescentados enquanto eu viver. (Em verde, músicos brasileiros)

Music has been a constant companion since my childhood: the piano at home (in the mid 40's), the radio, records.; opera, classical music, popular music (Brazilian, North and Latin American, Italian, French). Also books and magazines (Metronome, Down Beat, Jazz Times [USA]; Le Jazz Hot, Jazz Magazine [France]; Musica Jazz [Italy] and, nowadays, the World Wide Web. In the course of over 60 years I have listened to several hundred musicians. Obviously different people and styles impressed me for different reasons at different times — Chopin earlier than Bach; swing earlier than bebop, Tony Mottola and Billy Bauer long before Johnny Smith or Pat Martino; boogie-woogie earlier than Dave Brubeck or Oscar Peterson. But having heard, in my teens, such musicians as Art Tatum, Lennie Tristano, Bud Powell, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and big bands such as those of Stan Kenton and Woody Herman (especially his Third Herd), as well as the Metronome All Star recordings, certainly provided a turning point. The list below includes many (but certainly not all) of those whose music has been such an important part of my life, listed in random order. New names will be added as long as I live. (In green, Brazilian musicians.)
