Italys creative piano virtuoso Stefano Bollani meets Hamilton de
Holanda, Brazils peerless master of the bandolim, the 10-string
mandolin. O que sera is a summery celebration of the joy of
music-making, radiating an irresistible enthusiasm, and raising the bar
for trans-idiomatic instrumental interaction. Bollani, acknowledged as
one of the most prodigiously-gifted soloists of jazz, is matched every
step of the way here by de Holanda, and the exchanges between the
musicians are frequently breath-taking. Repertoire draws upon the rich
heritage of South American music including Jobim, Piazzolla, Chico
Buarque, Baden Powell, Ernesto Nazareth and more, plus original
compositions by the protagonists. . O que sera was recorded live in
Antwerp last August before an audibly-delighted audience at the Jazz
Middelheim Festival.
