Rogerio Boccato Quarteto: No Old Rain

Drummer Rogerio Boccato leads a subtly swinging team of Dan Blake/ts-ss, Nando Michelin/Rhodes and Jay Anderson/b through a collection of gracious Brazilian tunes from the likes of Milton Nascimento and Toninho Horta.” Blakes’s tenor is warm and dreamy on the operatic “Clube Da Esquina No. 2” and moody as it floats during “Cais” while you can hear his pads caress the delicate “Padra Da Lua.” Boccato’s cymbals rustle with Boccato’s soprano on “Moor Velho” and create a spacey atmosphere with Michelin’s keys during “Tango” while teaming with Anderson’s lonely bass on “Tricycle Ride.” Floating cirrus clouds above the horizon.
