I met guitarist and Berklee teacher John Stein in 2003, when
he first came to Brasil, through bass player Frank Herzberg,
who invited me to be part of some concerts and workshops in São
Paulo, Belo Horizonte and other cities. After the tour we kept in
touch and there was an invitation to some more gigs and a recording
session in 2005, when John came back. From those recording sessions
the cd "Concerto Internacional de Jazz" was born, released
in 2006 in teh USA by the Whaling City Sound label. The CD also features
Alexandre Zamith (piano), Teco Cardoso (bass flute)
and Bocato (trombone), and has been given good reviews in the
specialized press. The point of this release, in my opinion, is that
it isn't an American guitarist making Brazilian music, but a jazz
CD recorded in Brazil with Brazilian musicians, which is kind of unusual,
and its good acceptance overseas makes us very happy. For more details:

BIOGRAPHY
Born in September 25, 1952 in São Paulo.At the early age 12 he performed
in radio, TV shows and concerts with his first trio "Xango Tres",
and other well known artists in the show business. He joined Hermeto
Pascoal's group in 1973, remained until 1977, and then worked with
Egberto Gismonti, recorded "Nó Caipira" in 1978, performed with John
Mc Laughlin at the "Tropical Jazz Rock" tour.
In 1979, as a co-leader, recorded "Marcha sobre a Cidade" with Grupo
Um, the first independent instrumental LP released in Brazil. With
Grupo Um he did another two records, " Reflexões sobre a Crise do
Desejo" in 1981 and "A Flor de Plástico Incinerada" in 1982, and also
recorded with some of Brazil's biggest artists, like Milton Nascimento,
Marlui Miranda, Toninho Horta, Felipe Avila, Marco Pereira, among
many others. In 1991 he joined "Pau Brasil" group, and recorded "Babel",
"Premio Sharp" awards winner in 1996 (Brazil), Grammy nominated for
"Best Jazz Performance" in 1997. The groups of Hermeto, Egberto Gismonti,
along with Grupo Um and Pau Brasil performed a major role in the development
of Brazilian Contemporary music. Curiously, Zé Eduardo Nazario was
the only musician who worked in all of those groups. He also played
with Joe Zawinul as a special guest at the Campos de Jordão Winter
Festival in 1994.
His solo project "ZEN" was released in 1999, then "Percussonica" in
2000 and "Percussonica ao Vivo Hoje" in 2004. In the year of 2004,
Zé fulfilled 40 years on the drums. During four decades, his name
has remained at the top among the most influential and recognized
Brazilian drummers. He teaches in music schools and as a private teacher
in both states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, doing workshops and
master classes in Universities, Drums and Percussion festivals and
special events, inside and outside Brazil. Zé had been invited by
his knowledge of Brazilian rhythms and music, traditional to contemporary,
and the roots of the drum set and jazz music. As a leader, he performs
with his own group in concerts, shows and night clubs, as a sideman
in several instrumental groups and recording sessions as well. In
December 2005, he received the "Notório Saber" from the Universidade
Federal da Bahia, a degree granted in appreciation of his rich and
vast career as a Musician Percussionist.
