Far Out Recordings presents a landmark discovery in Brazilian jazz: the long lost album by drumming pioneer\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdison Machado\u003c\/b\u003e.

After facing persecution under Brazil's military dictatorship and being forced to sell his drum kit in 1976, Machado found renewed creative purpose in New York with the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBoa Nova\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eensemble. The resulting album captures the essence of his genius -- sophisticated yet wild, controlled yet daring, leading an ensemble of some of the best jazz, samba and bossa nova players of the day. At just fifteen years old, Machado revolutionized Brazilian music through an accident that would change everything -- when his snare drum broke during a performance, he began playing samba rhythms on the cymbal. This innovation, known as \"samba no prato\" (samba on the cymbals), brought new layers of dynamism to samba and proved instrumental in the development of bossa nova alongside contemporaries like\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntonio Carlos Jobim\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoão Gilberto\u003c\/b\u003e. A complex and passionate figure, Machado was notorious for his militant perfectionism and \"attacking\" style of drumming. Having spent some years of his youth in the Brazilian army, musicians often remarked that he played as if he were at war. But his innovative style, while exhibiting complete control and sophistication, somehow so often danced right on the edge of chaos and wild abandon. After making his name in Rio's legendary Beco das Garrafas (Bottles Alley) in the 1950s and early '60s, Machado went on to form\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBossa Três\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-- the world's first instrumental bossa nova group.
