Album Notes

Jorge Continentino is a saxophone and Flute player from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, currently residing in New York City.
He has recorded and played with many of Brazil's foremost recording artists, such as: Milton Nascimento, Ed Motta, Marisa Monte, Durval Ferreira, Skank, Zeca Baleiro, Moraes Moreira, and many, many more.
Jorge has two brothers who play on the album, Alberto and Kiko, on bass and piano respectively. Described by one Florida newspaper as the Marsalis family of Brazil, the three brothers form the experimental jazz-fusion group Continentrio. Their self-entitled album, "Continentrio", released in 2003, is also available on CD Baby.
"Portrait" is a collection of original jazz compositions played elegantly and with an intensity and sincerity that flow uninterrupted from beginning to end. At its core the band is a trio of drums, bass, and saxophone, joined at times by guitar and at others by Fender Rhodes.
Enjoy the music, and let the artist know what you think about it. You are always welcome to leave your comments, and if you like it, please tell your friends.
Thank you.
Peace

It's true that sax jazz albums are a dime a dozen- which makes it all the more rare that one would jump out and stun with such ease. "Portrait" features some of the most expressive, haunting, emotional sax playing we have ever seen. This album is beyond the smoky, late night haze of the jazz club as it ventures into a sophisticated, slightly experimental language, always holding onto the melodic seed, the kernel of distilled musicality that breathes such life into this entrancing soundworld. Without a doubt, Jorge Continentino is an artist in the truest sense of the word and he is one to keep your eyes and ears on.

Brazilians continue to dominate

Put on some good headphones and get ready. This CD is a trip! This music is to be "listened to", not just "heard". The compositions are textured and exciting. The arrangements are fresh with every listen. All the players are great. Fender Rhodes with acoustic bass is always a nice compliment to sax. The guitar playing and amazing drumming, equally tasty. Mesurashi and Contacto are hypnotic explorations. Pesadelo is a juggernaut. Even some of the legendary musicians these days just regurgitate standards and we consume it because there's little else out there. Here's something fresh. Continentino's compositions are true art in creation. A nice addition to summer's soundtrack. Try to catch him touring in Bebel Gilberto's band. ______________________________________________________________ Indispensável! Acho o CD do Jorge Continentino é máximo. Para quem quer uma exploração verdadeira. Bote os fones e relaxe, pois essa música é pra ser "escutada", e não simplesmente "ouvida". Aos músicos, parabens. Muito bom. Não deixa dúvidas porque ele foi contratado por Bebel Gilberto, Marisa Monte, Ramiro Musotto.....
