Legendary keyboardist José Roberto Bertrami brings quirky 60s soundtracks and infectious 80s grooves to 12 brand new recordings. Showcasing 45 sweeping years in music Azymuth's band leader delivers an innovative set of jazz, cinematic scores, funk and true Latin anthems. Latin Grammy nominee 'Zé Roberto' brings together the Rio Strings Orchestra and the very best Brazilian players on these stunning live recordings. Direct from Rio de Janeiro Bertrami's enduring passion and creativity combine to create a seminal solo collection. Andy Votel's exceptional madcap artwork perfectly expresses Bertrami's unique brand of experimental jazz. Allow the master of the keys to take you on a dazzling aventura (adventure).

The maestro of the keys José Roberto Bertrami (Ze Roberto) is a Brazilian music legend. Band leader, arranger, vocalist and keyboardist over three decades for 'Brazil's most successful band' Azymuth, this album steers away from the original Brazilian jazz-funk band allowing Zé Roberto to record songs more personal and often with a more Western influenced sound. Bertrami's choice of musicians sets this recording apart, drawing together the best of Rio's players to bring his compositions to glorious life. David Brinkworth (Harmonic 33) travelled to Rio from the UK with executive producer Joe Davis (Far Out founder) to record the live sessions. "Bertrami is great in the studio. He lives and breathes music and the song writing process. The control of his instrument, harmony and ideas is flawless," says Dave. With nods to his 'Aventura' heritage, newer trends emerging from Rio and Bertrami's grand vision this more than fulfilled Davis' hunger for a unique old school record drawing upon Zé Roberto's reams of unreleased and unrecorded scores. After five days spent with Brinkworth picking the very best tracks Bertrami bossed the studio, full of energy and enduring passion to deliver a set of the highest quality. The result is an authentic jazz record that
draws in tropical vibes and American influences to create the perfect slice of his music culture.

José Roberto is another level of pianist, able to create his own style and pattern - his modal jazz waltz is masterful. At the same time he is the most experimental of keyboardists and composers, here smoothly moving between classic piano led jazz to almost psychedelic electric guitar that darts around Bertrami's instantly recognisable Rhodes, organ, keyboard scores and improvisations.

'Aventura' is Bertrami's 7th album under his own steam following on from his previous solo effort for Far Out Recordings -- 2001's 'Things Are Different'. It was on 1983's 'Blue Wave' that Ze Roberto made his biggest impact outside of Azymuth receiving a prestigious Latin Grammy nomination. Working with Flora Purim and Robertinho Silva he released his earliest project the 'José Roberto Trio' (pictured above) in 1965 that began this staggering recording legacy. In his early work he was using instruments and effects before anybody else in Latin America -travelling to New York to purchase the latest keyboards and organs - and 45 years later he's still pushing the boundaries. Now, Bertrami scores an innovative retrospective brimming with colour and harmony. 'Aventura' is packed with the inspired tripped-out funkiness of a sound still fresh.

Brazil's most significant pianist Zé Roberto is a modern genius who in 'Aventura' releases an influential solo recording that only adds to his reputation as the complete package - stylish, avid and masterful.
