Marcos Resende

Far Out Recordings gives us the previously-unreleased self-titled debut album, recorded in 1976, by immensely talented jazz pianist Marcos Resende and his backing band Index. The group are sadly still quite obscure, notwithstanding the efforts to get Brazilian music a great profile over the last few decades, and this hitherto-unheard gem is a fine snapshot of a time when the country’s instrumental music scene was evolving rapidly.
