Brazilian composer, arranger, singer and multi instrumentalist Marcos Valle presents his stonking 23rd full-length studio album, Tunel Acustico, which aims to "bring it all together". "It" likely referring to the meandering, turbulent life and thus variegated stylistic trajectory he's enjoyed since 1962, Valle goes on to comment, quite rightly of a musician so seasoned, that: "I believe my music is many things. It goes in different directions. I have many different ways of writing music, sometimes it's melodies and harmony, sometimes the groove is the focus. But all the music I have made over my sixty year career is unified. It is all natural and it is all sincere." The idea that a particular artist's chronology might beteem many doorways into which we might explore isolated snapshots of the past - yet these are ultimately all unified under the same structure - is not new. Yet Tunel Acustico is one of those rare records that was made with this express idea, of bridging multiplicity and singularity in mind, and the result is palpable, channelling every memory, occupancy and stylistic shift undergone by the artist into a single, yet still enjoyable and identifiable, jazz-funk and psychedelic sandstorm.
