Fabiano do Nascimento

Today we’re listening to Fabiano do Nascimento, a Brazilian guitarist and composer from Rio de Janeiro. He started out playing piano but fell in love with guitar around age 10, and then moved to Los Angeles in 2001.¹ Since then he’s prolifically collaborated within the jazz and experimental scene there, infusing Choro, Brazilian folk, Afro-samba, and other influences into original compositions. His latest LP, Aquáticos, came out a few weeks ago. It’s nine tracks with LA-based producer Eddie Ruscha. Appropriately enough, the album “grew from a series of recording sessions in which the music unfolded naturally, in a state of effortless flow.”² We’re also playing his 2024 record with saxophonist Sam Gendel, The Room, which we recommended shortly after its release.
