Description
When a musician with the extreme technique, versatility, and immense sensitivity ofGabriel Grossi sets out to rediscover new paths for songs deeply ingrained in the emotional memory of diverse generations, one thing is certain: beyond surprising the audience, he can easily enchant the original artists themselves by revealing musical possibilities they never imagined. That's exactly what happens when we listen to the Gabriel Grossi Quartet's album 'Re-Disc-Cover' - each track brings a fresh surprise.
Internationally recognised as one of the greatest harmonica players in the world, Gabriel and his quartet, composed ofEduardo Farias (piano and keyboards),Michael Pipoquinha (bass), andSergio Machado (drums), take us on a completely original journey through absolute classics of pop rock from the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s, reinventing true gems of universal music. 'Re-Disc-Cover' unfolds across various "R's": reinterpretation, reinvention, rediscovery, remembering, resignification, reharmonization, rearrangement. The challenge of recording such well-known songs from our collective emotional memory becomes an advantage, offering listeners a fresh and contemporary musical unity drawn from these varied themes.
The Gabriel Grossi Quartet not only provides a new perspective but also showcases a level of mastery on par with the best arrangers of today. After all, we're talking about iconic songs by Stevie Wonder, Nirvana, Michael Jackson, Oasis, Queen, The Beatles, The Police, and Bob Marley - tinkering with such beloved material is not for the faint of heart. Yet, in each track, the quartet imprints its own mark, evoking new emotions while respecting the original compositions and creating space for unthinkable improvisations and unexpected directions.
