Papers by Marcelo Gomes
Initially, it is a review of Samba-Jazz and its relations with bossa nova, using harmonic, melodic, rhythmic as criteria, besides other particular characteristics of these sound contents. Just following that, this work shows
how certain group of Brazilian musicians, from 1952 to 1967, reinvents instrumental samba, as it is exposed to the strong presence of jazz and American cultural production of the time. From there, the author starts a
creative dialogue with the results obtained so far, and then he conceives three arrangements for “Céu e Mar”, using different techniques and intervention in the ways of musical playing. Finally, the recordings are analyzed, considering their insertions in a Cartesian plane specifically created for that, and whose purpose is to measure how intense are the articulations between concepts and performances in each of the arrangements, and in the relations established
among theirselvs.
