Rio 65 Trio: 50 years of history
Celebrating 50
years of the historical album rio65trio with pianist Dom Salvador,
bassist Sergio Barrozo and drummer Duduka Da Fonseca. The original trio,
composed of Dom Salvador, Sergio Barrozo and Édison Machado, who
unfortunately passed away in 1990, chose the name Rio 65 Trio to
celebrate the 400th anniversary of the city of Rio de Janeiro. In
parallel with Bossa Nova, which introduced influences of the West Coast
Jazz of Chet Baker, George Shearing, Stan Kenton and others into samba, a
new genre was also being developed in Rio de Janeiro: Samba Jazz. In
this genre, which draws influences from bebop, hard bop and samba, fits
the album rio65trio. The trio also released a second album in 1966
called A Hora e Vez da M.P.M., performed with Marcos Valle and Leny
Andrade at Beco Das Garrafas (Rio’s 52nd Street), featured in Elis
Regina's first album Samba - Eu Canto Assim and appeared in Carlos Hugo
Christensen's film Crônica da Cidade Amada.
