Grupo Um - Starting Point (LP)

Recorded in São Paulo in 1975 and never previously released, Starting Point by Grupo Um is a remarkable piece of Brazilian jazz history finally brought to light. The album showcases the talents of Lelo Nazario on piano, prepared piano, Fender Rhodes, and percussion, along with Zé Eduardo Nazario on drums, blending avant-garde jazz and jazz fusion with a distinctly Latin sensibility. Released through the always-adventurous Far Out Recordings, this is a long-overdue introduction to a recording that deserved to be heard decades ago.

What makes Starting Point truly special is the care taken in bringing these vintage tapes back to life — the recordings were restored and meticulously mastered by Lelo Nazario at Utopia Studio and further mastered by Stuart Hawkes at the legendary Metropolis Studios. The result is an intimate and vibrant listening experience that captures the raw energy and creativity of São Paulo's jazz scene in the mid-1970s. For fans of Brazilian jazz, Latin jazz, and avant-garde music, this is a genuinely exciting rediscovery.
