Young jazz from Brazil
Amaro FreitasPiano
For years, he did not own a piano and practiced on imaginary keys. Today, Amaro Freitas is one of the most sought-after pianists in Brazil. "Percussion pianist" is one of his self-descriptions and his shimmering compositions really do demand a lot from the piano. The New York Times states: "He makes the keys dance and clatter as if the notes were bouncing off each other, absorbing energy and momentum from the swarm around them."
