seeline Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) He used two different spellings for his first name. Many of his recordings were done with the alternate spelling: Victor. I know that probably seems like a minor point at best, but it's very helpful if you're searching for his recordings. He also doubled on soprano, and is survived by his brother, pianist João Carlos Assis Brasil. Here's a link to his bio. on the AllBrazilianMusic site.

Dave James Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) A video clip from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zbPWUkj_os...feature=related Interesting. iTunes has a couple of his albums available if you'd like to hear more. Up over and out. Edited December 28, 2008 by Dave James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bill Barton Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Ah, a name that jogs the memory banks. As I recall, we had a copy of his Ao Vivo album at WRUV-FM back in the mid-1970s when I started doing radio. If memory serves it was very nice.

Niko Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) got Trajeto last year (guess it still is available cheaply, another whatmusic.com reissue) and was also highly impressed with his playing, especially the trio version of round midnight... (iirc it's also claudio roditi's first session, 1968)... Edited December 28, 2008 by Niko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
