"For decades, the great percussionist/conceptualist Ra Kalam Bob Moses has explored many facets of creative music from throughout the world, finding generations of willing collaborators and mentees along the way. Brazilian saxophonist/composer Gaia Wilmer was presented with a unique opportunity to work with Moses and took advantage for their new recording, Dancing with Elephants.
Establishing himself in the jazz rock world of the 1960s, Moses quickly branched out into more diverse realms of improvisation. He studied many facets of percussion and found himself able to add his unique style in uncountable performances. Moses was also able to instill his concepts and open approach to his generations of students at New England Conservatory over the years.
Wilmer has found a place for herself at the heights of contemporary jazz and improvised music in Brazil and New York City in short order. Having studied in the States, Wilmer returned to her home country, establishing a number of fantastic groups in Sao Paulo, mostly notably her Sextet and her Large Ensemble that feature her fabulous compositions and arrangements. Since then, she has gone on to work closely with notable Brazilian legends, like Egberto Gismonti and Jaques Morelenbaum.
Prior to their meeting, Moses heard some of Wilmer’s music online and suggested a project for them where she would compose music over some of his pre-recorded grooves. While living in Boston, Moses had a home studio and worked with an engineer. Together they would capture hundreds of Moses’ solo percussion improvisations or “sonic beds”. Wilmer chose a number of these “beds” and wrote music to them. Moses' only request was to leave ample space for improvisations.
The tracks were chosen for various reasons, usually if they clicked with Wilmer immediately or provided a unique quality that inspired her writing. All the “beds” were improvised by Moses, leaving Wilmer the task of memorizing and mapping them to the second to chart her arrangements.
Wilmer’s move back to Brazil and the pandemic led to the project having to wait a couple of years before being recorded in 2023 at the Big Orange Sheep in Brooklyn with a cast of friends that Wilmer had met while living in Boston. The musicians include flutist Yulia Musayelyan, vocalist Song Yi Jeon, saxophonists Gustavo D’Amico, Daniele Germani, George Garzone, and Neta Raanan, along with guitarist Leandro Pellegrino and keyboardist Leo Genovese. Each one of these chosen musicians were both close to Wilmer and Moses in different ways."
