Smoke Burst | Released April 2nd, 2024 via Sliptrick Records Brazilian group Mario Rossi Band continue their legacy of creative, heavy blues with a fourth album, the breathtaking and critically acclaimed Smoke Burst, which shows that he was born with the blues in his veins.
Smoke Burst was recorded at the Galeão Estúdio in São Paulo with (again) keyboardist Edê Boy, drummer Rafael Cacavallo, the jazz sensitive bassist Marcelo Rocha and other guests. The album consists of eight original songs and captures the best of Marios raw yet fluid guitar work and his tight, virtuosic band. Featuring guest saxophonist Richard Fermino's unparalleled mastery on the opener, Smoke/Burst, and Lu Vitti's soulful and stirring vocals on It Means Blues, the album quickly transcends its own boundaries. Add to this the masterful harmonica qualities of Steve Bell on the enchanting song There's No Hope for Willie Brown, and everything becomes even more clear.
The collaboration with co-producer Othon Ribeiro was also a hit. Along with songs like Don't Tell Me What to Do, Jammin' for Jimi, Expensive Instinct and Cold Lonely Nights. Smoke Burst is unequivocally the next highlight of Mario Rossi's illustrious career and a testament to his artistic growth and unbridled potential.
