Description:
This compilation makes available on CD, sixty–seven minutes of music featuring highlights from two outstanding recordings by Marcio Montarroyos, Magic Moment and Carioc, as well as a track from Jon Hiseman's, A Night in the Sun. With signature upbeat Montarroyos flair, the tracks on Samba Solstice explore, persuade and captivate, moving with smooth assurance through a gamut of complex compositions ranging from deeply personal jazz musings to ecstatic musical celebrations.Samba Solstice is endowed with a star–studded cast: musicians Ricardo Silveira to Sergio Dias, Jamil Joanes to Victor Biglione and more create a conspiracy of excellence. Samba Solstice is flawless, from concept to execution, taking delight in the seemingly limitless boundaries of jazz. As a composer, Montarroyos combines classical and jazz influences with Brazilian folk music and African rhythms to create a masterful synthesis of big band energy and small group intimacy. His relentless creativity ensures that the compositions and arrangements are fresh and completely original.

Marcio Montarroyos was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1948. He played classical piano for ten years, then fell in love with the trumpet. He studied jazz at Boston's Berklee School of Music, returning to Rio to form his own group. As one of Brazil's most respected session musicians, he's accompanied jazz and pop artists from Stevie Wonder to Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald. As a trumpet and flügelhorn soloist, Montarroyos has performed at prestigious jazz festivals across the globe. Montarroyos is joined on this recording by Lincoln Olivetti, Dan Grusin and Luis Avelar on keyboards and Jurim Moreira on drums.
