Achilles Liarmakopoulos is the trombonist of the legendary Canadian Brass who have sold well over 2 million albums worldwide and have earned the distinction of the world s most famous brass group, a reputation that continues to this day.
Achilles is a rising star among trombonists and is quickly becoming recognized as one of the most talented and versatile trombone players in the world. This new CD submerses into the deep tropical landscape of Brazil and offers us one of its most representative, complex and authentically popular musical styles, the Choro. The music tends to be bright and full of hope and features many composers including that of Pixinguinha who is to Choro what Joplin is to Ragtime.
This essential Brazilian musical genre has begun to enjoy a welcomed renaissance both there and beyond.
