Mauricio Fleury

Mauricio Fleury's music has always felt like a private universe, but here, Revoada opens it up with a type of mischievous clarity. The Brazilian pianist and multi-instrumentalist, now based in Berlin, builds these six pieces as if sketching a travel diary in real time: scraps of Turkish psych, soul-jazz swagger and 70s soundtrack haze drift past like landmarks seen from a moving bus. The fingerprints of Azymuth and Deodato are there yet only as gentle echoes; Fleury keeps the groove supple and sunstruck that lets each track tilt toward its own mood. 'Kadikoy' shuffles with a restless bounce while 'Revoada' feels like a deep breath taken mid-journey. By 'Briluz', the whole thing settles into a warm, slightly surreal glow. It's a small world made expansive.
