Biography
Hermeto Pascoal is a Brazilian jazz composer and multi-instrumentalist born in Lagoa da Canoa, Alagoas, Brazil on June 22, 1936.
He uses nature as a basis for his compositions and experiments with non-conventional instruments such as teapots, children's toys and, sometimes, animals. He is an energetic and virtuosic soloist who can play proficiently on basically any instrument: keyboards, soprano saxophone, guitar, flute, voice, various brass instruments, and many non-traditional things as well. A Brazilian television broadcast from 1999 showed him soloing at one point by singing into a cup with his mouth partially submerged in water.
