There have been quite a few American drummers who have learned to play Brazilian
music authentically. Likewise, many Brazilian drummers have been inspired by
America's classical music- jazz.
However, to me, Duduka Da Fonseca is one of the very few drummers, or perhaps
the only drummer, who has found his own unique voice by combining the two
traditions.
His command of Brazilian and American rhythms and his ability to integrate them
so seamlessly is truly innovative.
With music in mind,
Sincerely,
Billy Hart
“Duduka Da Fonseca is one of the most exciting, creative drummers on the planet
and It's always a thrill to share the bandstand with him .” Kenny Barron
"[Alves has] subtlety, musicianship and extraordinary improvisational facility..."
"...outstanding capabilities as a melodic improviser..."
Robert L. Doerschuk, DownBeat Magazine
"Alves plays with a gravity and a stylistic flair that's truly impressive."
Phillip Van Vleck, Billboard Magazine
"Alves executes his feats with unhurried grace, even at very fast tempos. There
is an aptitude that, if not exclusive of Brazil, has reached its highest
expression there: the communication of a subtle energy embodying a life-
affirming message that life is transitory."
Thomas Conrad, Jazz Times Magazine
