Caminhos do Jazz celebrates the life and work of the great Hermeto Pascoal this week--"O Bruxo," the wizard of Universal Music, the Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist who Miles Davis named as "one of the most important musicians on the planet" (1936-2025). We'll hear a few of his 2,000+ compositions, cuts drawn from his first commercial recording (Em Som Maior, Som Maior, 1965) to his last (Pra VocĂŞ Ilza, Rocinante, 2024). Sending profound condolences to his loved ones. đź’“

Unbearable to imagine a world without his light. May his music live forever.

A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, he rose from a childhood of rural privation to become a favorite of jazz musicians and audiences around the world.

This week's edition of Caminhos do Jazz is "Sonhos (Dreams), Pesadelos (Nightmares) and an American Tune." The show airs live on Saturday, Sept 13 at 10 AM Central on Trinity University's KRTU 91.7 FM, worldwide at krtu.org. Playlist, playback, artist and album information are available thereafter on the blog.

Ran across a recording of "Because All Men are Brothers" while preparing the program. Lyric is by Tom Glazer and Pete Seeger (1948). On the broadcast, I'll be spinning Kurt Elling's superb rendition of Paul Simon's "American Tune," based on the same medieval hymn (you may be familiar with the Bach chorale). But I didn't know "Because All Men." It moved me, so I've shared an excellent pandemic-era video of it on the blog (LINK below), along with a live YouTube of Rhiannon Giddens sitting in with Simon, contributing her additional lyric to "American Tune."

Até lá, see you there.

This week's edition of Caminhos do Jazz is a two-fer... First up is the new disk from Brazilian singer-pianist Catina De Luna and Venezuelan guitarist and arranger-producer Otmaro Ruíz. Lado B Brazilian Project 2 (Sunnyside, 2025) is the second installment of the illustrious duo's B-side project. The idea was to interpret what we might call Great Brazilian Songbook—classics by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chico Buarque, Dorival Caymmi, Ivan Lins, Ary Barroso and their ilk—but focusing mainly on B-sides rather than greatest-hits and giving them an infusion of LA jazz... (Read our album review on All About Jazz.)

The "Lado B" idea includes not only B-sides but also works by composers deserving of wider recognition, including Delia Fischer. Click the YouTube below for Fischer's "AluviĂŁo" (Floodwaters), a standout track on Lado B Brazilian Project 2. For more on Fischer, read our review of her Beyond Bossa (Origin, 2024) on All About Jazz.

The second half of the program continues a well-deserved outpouring of love for our dear departed jazz canary, Sheila Jordan with selections from Flexible Flyer (Black Lion, 1974) a gloriously off-the-beaten-path recording she made with trombonist Roswell Rudd, pianist Hod O'Brien, bassist Arild Andersen and drummer Barry Altschul.

You may have seen pianist-singer and entertainer Maurice Rocco in Incendiary Blonde (Paramount, 1945), the rags-to-riches story of Texas Guinan, the Waco-born daughter of immigrants who became a New York nightclub tycoon during Prohibition, starring Betty Hutton. No? Then check the extraordinary clip (below). He sings, dances and taps rhythm on the piano lid—all seemingly effortlessly—while his left hand rumbles a boogie-woogie bass as unstoppable as a freight train (click below to read more)...

Now on All About Jazz! This edition of Caminhos do Jazz radio marks the passing of the great singer Nancy King, and bid farewell to several other towering musicians who have left us: the inimitable pianists Hal Galper and Eddie Palmieri, and San Antonio's own Flaco Jiménez, the celebrated conjunto accordionist, singer and songwriter. The heart of the program is a deep dive into Impending Bloom (Justice Records, 1991), the unforgettable album by King and bassist Glen Moore, which features the whimsical lyrics of Samantha Moore (Justice Records, 1991).

Choro das Aguas, Collectivo do Brasil's third record with Alternate Side, continues the tribute theme with a release on the occasion of singer-composer Ivan Lins' 80th birthday. Again focusing on the '70s, Keberle arranged several tunes from Lins' Modo Livre (RCA Victor, 1974), Lins' fourth album, which marked a political awakening for him, and established what would become his long partnership with lyricist Vitor Martins...

Sheila Jordan's work in developing a voice-and-bass duet format in jazz is arguably one of her greatest legacies. She could make the disparate ranges of these two instruments function in tandem in a way that was miraculously elegant. We never had the sense that there was any real separation; it always read like one big beautiful two-headed beast.

Ellen Johnson elucidates her contribution in this regard in Chapter 8 of her biography of Jordan, "I've Grown Accustomed to the Bass" (Jazz Child: A Portrait of Sheila Jordan, Bloomsbury, 2016).

When Sheila Jordan dropped a nickel in the juke box of a Detroit diner in the 1940s and heard “Now’s The Time” by Charlie Parker, she was inst…
