Editio Princeps

BIOGRAPHY

At the beginning of the sixties, when he started his formal piano studies, brazilian composer Lelo Nazario (born at the city of São Paulo in 1956) couldn't imagine that the friends and musicians who used to come to his house - all of them deep afficcionados of jazz and the new born bossa nova - would be the main influence in his upcoming musical career. His older brother, drummer and percussionist Zé Eduardo Nazario had turned into a professional musician at a very young age, and was already known at the musical circles of then as the creator of a drumbeat called "Jequibau", a 5/4 rhythm bossa nova written by composer Mario Albanese. Lelo quickly took advantage of all these extremely rich relationships, carefully storing all kinds of musical (and cultural) informations.

The passion for contemporary classical music comes from this same period of time, as many new and innovative tendencies were popping up in the USA and Europe, leaded by legendary composers such as Stockhausen, Messiaen, Berio and Cage, as well as Brazilians Marlos Nobre and Almeida Prado, among others. This new music would also come to influence his jazz compositions, that would always bring some atonal or polytonal element. Looking this way, Lelo may be easily considered a pioneer Third Stream (term coined by composer Gunther Schuller to describe a cross between classical and popular, jazz works) representative in Brazil.

During his teens, Lelo formed with his brother a group called MALIKA, mixing afro-brazilian/south american music with contemporary jazz. The saxophone player was Hector Costita, known by his work with Lalo Schifrin's big band, Sergio Mendes and Gato Barbieri. They played a number of concerts and TV specials, until Zé Eduardo was invited to join Hermeto Pascoal's band, together with bass player Zeca Assumpção. It wouldn't take much time till Lelo (17 years old, then) was also invited to take part, completing the nucleus that would eventually evolve into Grupo Um. With Hermeto, they travelled all around the country, playing at theaters, radios, TVs and universities.


1987		1981		1983

The band had a steady foundation (piano, bass and drums) and Hermeto used to call different musicians (mainly sax and guitar players) to each presentation. When asked to play at Rio de Janeiro's Modern Art Museum, he invited some local musicians to join the band. Among them were Mauro Senise and Raul Mascarenhas (saxophones and flutes), Marcio Montarroyos (trumpet and fluegelhorn) and Toninho Horta (guitar). A big empathy quickly grew up between the rhythmic session and the soloists, consolidating some musical partnerships that would soon be reformulated at the future Grupo Um incarnations. In fact, their first line-up included another long time friend (and also Hermeto's alumnus), saxophone player Roberto Sion (future Pau Brasil founder member), who took part at their earliest recorded sessions.

As we can see, Hermeto Pascoal's band, during his stay in São Paulo, was one of the main musical creative nucleus of the early 70's, spreading a new way of thinking about the music: freer, without formal barriers and with extremely creative results. Arising from this rich background, Grupo Um began to play in a more frequent way from 1976 on, till Senise replaces Sion at the saxophone duties, in 1978. At the following year the band was noticed by singer and composer Marlui Miranda, who invited them for a joint season of concerts. As they already had all the studio recorded material necessary for a first album, they decided to release it during their stay with Marlui.

So, Marcha Sobre a Cidade (March Over the City) was born, in a very limited original edition (which is quite rare nowadays), a fully independent effort, paid by the musicians themselves - the first independent instrumental LP to be released in Brazil, a true milestone in both musical and commercial aspects. The initial press was quickly sold out, so the album was repressed by the Lira Paulistana label, which, besides producing and distributing these promising new instrumental groups, also maintained a small theater that soon became the main reference for new music development during the decades of 1970 and 1980 in São Paulo. A lot of innovative new bands growed up playing there, like Pé Ante Pé, the Divina Increnca trio and composer Arrigo Barnabé, among dozens of others.

Lelo still fronted Grupo Um in their following albuns: "Reflexões Sobre a Crise do Desejo" ("Reflections About the Crisis of Desire"), from 1981, and "A Flor de Plástico Incinerada" ("The Incinerated Plastic Flower"), from 1983. Both works show the constant evolution of their sound, and were widely regarded as innovative at the brazilian contemporary music scene. Some new members joined in: Rodolfo Stroeter substituted Zeca Assumpção at the bass, when he moved to Rio de Janeiro; Teco Cardoso replaced Mauro Senise at the saxes and flutes, and german born musician Felix Wagner also got on board, playing alto clarinet and marimba. With this new formation the group toured and played in a lot of European countries, reaching a quite significant international recognition. Their first album was even released in France by a local label. Today, only "Marcha Sobre a Cidade" was already released in CD, in 2002, in a limited quantity (1000 copies) issue pressed by the Editio Princeps label in Rio de Janeiro, with 20 minutes of extra material from the previous band incarnation, still with sax player Roberto Sion. "Reflexões Sobre a Crise do Desejo" is scheduled for release in 2004 by the same label, also containing extra material.

In parallel to his band's work at the 80's, Lelo Nazario started to develop his own solo material as erudite composer, pianist and arranger, also working in the advertisement soundtracks and jingles field (where he achieved a huge success, with awarded films at the Cannes and New York festivals). From that time are his first solo albums: "Lagrima / Sursolide Suite" ("Tear / Sursolide Suite") and "Discurso aos Objetos" ("Speech to Objects"), both bringing avant-garde electroacoustic compositions, with magnetic tape manipulations and lots of experimentation.


Lelo e Zé Eduardo, 1981		2002

Trying to fuse contemporary music with avant-garde jazz, Lelo also took part in one of the most innovative combos of the early 80's: the Symmetric Ensemble, originally composed of two pianos (Lelo and Felix Wagner) and two contrabasses (Stroeter and Assumpção). The group toured Europe as a trio (Zeca Assumpção was busy, on tour with Egberto Gismonti), recording lots of programs to French and German state radios and playing a last and memorable gig at the famous "Espace Cardin", in Paris.

In 1986 Lelo created a series of compositions revisiting somewhat Grupo Um's musical style, and invited friends from the Pau Brasil group (among others) to record them. The resulting album, "Se…" ("If…"), released in 1989 only (and edited in CD in 2004 by Editio Princeps, also with extra material), quickly became another Brazilian contemporary instrumental music landmark, not only due to the outstanding compositions but also the all-star team of musicians involved in the recording. Bass player Rodolfo Stroeter was Pau Brasil's leader, and all musicians were then recognized as the best players around at each respective instrument: sax player Teco Cardoso, drummer Nenê (another Hermeto Pascoal and Egberto Gismonti disciple), guitarist Paulo Bellinati and pianist Nelson Ayres. Having already recorded three successful albums ("Pau Brasil", "Pindorama" and "Cenas Brasileiras"), the group had a frequent presence at the European stages, and was catching more and more attention from producers and jazzmen in general around all Europe. During one of these tours they got an invitation from the well respected Duo Assad (producers from GHA Records, in Brussels), to record the album "Lá Vem a Tribo" ("Here Comes the Tribe"), in 1989.

Lelo was invited to join the band shortly before the recording sessions, replacing original pianist Nelson Ayres, and traveled with them for lots of gigs at the USA and Europe. He also took part in the forthcoming albuns "Metrópolis Tropical" (1991), a French production distributed in Europe only, and "Babel" (1996), released by the Blue Jackel label, in New York. This album received some important awards in Brazil (like the Sharp Prize), and even got a Grammy indication for best latin jazz album. Still with Pau Brasil, Lelo Nazário also recorded "Pau Brasil & Hermeto Pascoal", an incredible live recording released by the Tom Brasil label, in São Paulo, and composed the "Ópera dos 500" ("500's Opera"), hired by the Brazilian government for America's 500th discovery anniversary festivities, in 1992.


1999		Grupo Um, 1981

At the late nineties, in his own musical studio (Utopia), Lelo produces his 4th solo album, "Simples" ("Simple"), containing a set of compositions dedicated to musicians he admire, like Clare Fischer, Roger Kellaway, Denny Zeitlin, Zeca Assumpção and Daniel Goyonne, with Teco Cardoso, Marlui Miranda and drummer Peter Erskine as a guest in one track. Also with Marlui he keeps on developing cinema and ballet scores, winning the first prize at Brasília's Cinema Festival for the movie "Hans Staden".

In his more recent projects, Lelo joined forces with his brother Zé Eduardo again, and formed Duo Nazario, making use of different electronic keyboards and pre-recorded sounds as a counterpoint to the acoustic timbres of the diverse percussion instruments. The Duo was hired by the São Paulo's Symphony Band to write a couple of compositions ("Limite" and "Aurora"), which got public performances at the 10th Brazilian Contemporary Music Biennial (1994), in Rio de Janeiro, and at the 8th World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles (1997), in Austria. For a special show during the 1998's Zildjian Day (event hosted by the American cymbal factory), with the presence of percussionist Trilok Gurtu, the Duo invited guitarist Felipe Avila to play his synth-guitar. This whole presentation was released in the following year in a small press CD edition, under the name of Percussônica. Focused at contemporary jazz and Brazilian music, the compositions explore the many variations and combinations between the acoustic percussion instruments and the synthesized percussive sounds from both guitars and keyboards, transforming the whole band in a big percussion jazz ensemble. More shows were recorded, and a new Percussônica CD, "Hoje" ("Today"), has been released in 2004, bringing material from the original recording plus new songs recorded in these more recent concerts.
