Lineup and details for Hermeto Pascoal on Sunday 20th November 2011
http://www.barbican.org.uk/music/event-detail.asp?ID=12615
Hermeto Pascoal, charismatic composer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist and musical visionary returns to the Barbican in celebration of his 75th birthday, with his intoxicating blend of jazz, rock and Brazilian music.
Described by Miles Davis as one of the most important musicians on the planet and nicknamed the Sorcerer, he is as likely to produce a piece for kitchen utensils as improvised solos on keyboard or flute - or leading his long established, infectiously swinging Brazilian band in partnership with the all star British band formed back in the 90s to play his exhilarating big band music.
Hermeto Pascoal is one of the great originals of Brazilian music. The best way to appreciate him is as a complete individual, making music of breathtaking quality and quantity. The Guardian
