Egbert Gismonti Nana Vasconcelos Egbert Gismonti Nana Vasconcelos/Germany 1978

This is the first time that this performance by the Brazilian treasures Gismonti and Nana, a duo of just the two of them at the height of their power, who respected each other and were bound by a strong bond like that of spiritual brothers, was recorded in Bremen, Germany in 1978 on a superb high-quality soundboard! Gismonti’s incredible guitar and piano playing can only be described as divine, and Nana’s diverse percussion immediately responds and intertwines with him. They maintain a tense atmosphere, like a serious martial arts contest, where they cannot let their guard down for even a second. However, as both of them know their instruments inside and have a deep knowledge of music, what’s amazing about this duo is that, despite the focus on improvisation, their performance is very musical… Live at Buergerzentrum Vahr,Bremen,Germany June.27.1978 1.
