Ben LaMar Gay's “Mestre Candeia’s Denim Hat,” from his 2021 album Open Arms to Open Us. An homage to improvisatory and rhythmic elements of the Brazilian “Partido Alto” tradition, the track sees Gay lay a Chicago-style free-jazz synth raga over a swinging, fractured march. The title is a nod to the insight and style of master sambista and partideiro Antônio Candeia Filho. Video by Andrea Rodea and Erik Mares of the Mexico City based Rhizomes Films.
