Jazz is Dead: Arthur Verocai with Full Orchestra
On August 19, 2023, ArtDontSleep and The UC Theatre present Jazz Está Morto to celebrate the genius of Arthur Verocai with a 30 piece orchestra and Special Guests at The UC Theatre in Berkeley. Bringing to life his self titled, 1973, debut album. This album has been sampled by MF Doom, Ludacris & Common, Little Brother, Action Bronson, Curren$y and countless others and is a staple amongst hip hop producers from every era. "I could listen to the album everyday for the rest of my life" - Madlib. "A true master conductor. Just as incredible live as recorded" - MF DOOM This will be a once in a life time moment with one of the greatest Brazilian Arranger/Composers to ever walk the face of the earth.
In 1972, producer, arranger and guitar player Arthur Verocai released a self-titled album on Brazilian based Continental Records that challenged the musical conventions of the day. A complete album masterpiece in every sense of the word, considered by many people to be one of the greatest ever made, regardless of genre. Recorded in Rio De Janeiro in 1972, the album was produced, arranged and directed by the self-taught, Arthur Verocai. Previously he had worked on many records in various capacities, with artists including Jorge Ben, Elis Regina, Erasmo Carlos, Ivan Lins, Gal Costa and Celia, but this album gave him the chance to do his own thing in its most pure form. The 29 minute masterpiece, perfect in it's arrangement and fusion of sonics, epitomises the sound of Brazil at the time; strings, guitars, pianos, break beats, bass lines, synthesizers, vocals from the wonderful Célia, Carlos Dafe and Oberdan (Banda Black Rio), plus percussion from Pedro Santos and Paulo Moura on sax. Bossa nova, samba, jazz, MPB, psychedelics and funk sit side by side effortlessly. The album transcends the genre of Brazilian music, and infact all genres. Highlighted in part by the number of artists that have sampled from it; MF Doom, Ludacris & Common, Little Brother, Action Bronson amongst others.
