Toninho Horta - Diamond Land (With Wayne Shorter) 1989
MP3 VBR V0
Here we have an artist that everybody asks for an album at Loronix. It took a long time until we have the necessary to make available one of his works, but the long waiting really worth, this is one of the best albums recorded by Toninho Horta and it is amazing that Diamond Land never had a CD issue, being out of print on "CD era", at least the far as I could search.
This is Toninho Horta - Diamond Land (1989), for Philips, featuring a true legend of the Brazilian guitar, Toninho Horta, backed by several renowned musicians, including the acclaimed Wayne Shorter. It's very hard to describe Toninho Horta, so I'm taking the liner notes of Diamond Land, written by Pat Metheny. I could never make better. Tracks include:
"Musicians everywhere love Toninho Horta's songs. Through his work with Milton Nascimento, his own recordings and the cover versions of his tunes that have appeared on various albums throughout the past decade or so, Toninho has emerged as one of the most harmonically sophisticated and melodically satisfying Brazilian composers of recent times.
Somehow, he writes chord progressions that defy gravity, moving up when you think they're going down. His melodies stay with you for days; you're sure you've heard them before, but they are brand new. And as an arranger, he's a master. (Not just with his own music either - check out what he does here with "Diamond Land"). As a guitarist, he's one of the world's great "compers" on viola. (That's a nylon-string guitar to us gringos). He plays such great voicings with such a cool time feel... (I've often described him to other musicians as the Herbie Hancock of Bossa Nova guitarists). His love of jazz guitar playing is well represented here, as is his excellent singing.
In short, Toninho Horta is an incredible musician, the rare guitarist who understand harmony in its most intimate ways and - above all - one of the finest and gentlest people I've ever had the good fortune of knowing. This record, DIAMOND LAND, is a great addition to Toninho's ongoing work, and will also serve as an excellent introduction to those listeners not yet familiar with his music." -Pat Metheny
