How wonderful is this!!! Wouldn't it be great if someone found a long lost video of both Airto and Hermeto Pascoal from the Sambrasa Trio/Quarteto Nova days. Put it on my wish list!!

mateenj42 WTF are you doing back here dissing a Legend again? I thought I sent you packing months ago, now looking at your page you seem a nice sensible young chap. I take it you've researched Airto and are familiar with his huge body of work with many Jazz Greats? I'm assuming that you would'nt be so ignorant to slur Airto unless you had, after reading your disrespectful diatribe it's clear that you have'nt a clue who you are dissing. That my friend makes you look very very stupid.

Airto might not be everyone's cup of tea... but .. to the people dissing him - try this: Google 'Airto + percussion" and see how many hits you get. Then Google 'your own name + douchebag" and see the no. of hits. The hit count should be about the same.

It's not my cup of tea, especially the scat, but he's still a very talented man and I'll always respect the nerve it takes to put yourself out there for ridicule.

Oh man, I love how mad everyone gets. I guess my no knowledge of music is the reason I'm touring in a jazz trio and opening for the bad plus in a few weeks. Musical knowledge doesn't mean everyone has to appreciate the same artist the same way. Especially this airto guy, he SUCKS!!!!!!! haha

Amongst his peers Airto is almost universally considered a genius (and those who don't think he's a genius say he is a virtuoso).It is ok, to be ignorant of something wonderful like this, and it can sound kind of funny first time (just like Uni or Caviar might taste funny at first), but that is only because your taste for it has not been developed. The fact that every other percussionist in the world says it is great, should give you the confidence to spend the time to develop the taste.
