Our Take
The latest offering from Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista, "Blueflyin'", is a whirlwind of eclectic sounds and rhythms that will transport you to another dimension. Baptista's unique blend of jazz, funk, and world music creates a sonic landscape that is as mesmerizing as it is unpredictable. From the opening track, "Samba for Brunch", Baptista's virtuosity on the drums is immediately apparent. His lightning-fast fills and intricate rhythms set the tone for the rest of the album, inviting listeners on a musical journey that is both exhilarating and immersive. Tracks like "Carnaval in Rio" and "Samba de Janeiro" showcase Baptista's mastery of Brazilian percussion, with infectious grooves that will have you dancing in your seat. The hypnotic "Batucada" features layered rhythms that build to a frenetic climax, while the dreamy "Saudade" provides a moment of reflection amidst the chaos. Throughout "Blueflyin'", Baptista is joined by a stellar cast of musicians, including saxophonist John Zorn and guitarist Marc Ribot, whose contributions add depth and texture to the already rich tapestry of sound. The result is an album that is as joyous as it is thought-provoking, showcasing Baptista's boundless creativity and musical vision. In conclusion, "Blueflyin'" is a triumph of experimentation and collaboration that will delight fans of world music and jazz alike. Cyro Baptista has once again proven himself to be a true master of his craft, and this album is a testament to his continued evolution as an artist. Don't miss out on this musical gem - it's a wild and wonderful ride from start to finish.
