CD Reviews

Jacob Bittencourt

Timothy J. Gollin | Houston, TX United States | 09/15/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This triple album is not only a great compendium of the music of Jaco do Bandolim (born Jacob Bittencourt) but is also an excellent history of Brasilian choro through the 50s. Jaco is technically remarkable but was widely recognized for his innovations in songwriting, arrangement, and improvisation; in fact, although it may be hard to believe, Jaco had contemporaries who played even faster. Musically, however, he's considered one of the greats of Brasilian choro. Also check out Trio Madeira and Chorinho de Verdade, oither choro albums with fantastic mandolin playing. (Note: bandolim = mandolin in Portuguese.)"
