João Donato was a definitive artist in many contexts — a bossa nova innovator, well-traveled Latin jazz sideman, and accomplished MPB bandleader for sessions that span six different decades. To narrow down his body of work is constrictive, but this installment of Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge’s Jazz Is Dead series does pinpoint one of the pianist’s most beloved phases — the stretch in the early ‘70s where albums like DonatoDeodato, A Bad Donato, and Quem É Quem indulged his Pan-American jazz-funk tendencies — and makes the most of its capacity for propulsive yet reflective beauty. Heavy on Rhodes glimmer and soaring soul-jazz vocals (the latter courtesy Midnight Hour singer Loren Oden), JID007 is an immersion into that moment in Brazilian jazz where the possibilities for international-beat hybridization were at their richest. It lives up to those possibilities with characteristic warmth, while being very much an ensemble work that benefits from Donato’s keys steeping in a fluttering, flowing panoply of flutes and guitars — all held down by the versatile swing/glide/boom-bap of Greg Paul’s drumming. Donato was 86 when this was recorded, and its agreeably sunny-breezy atmosphere sounds at peace with his long legacy, but it doesn’t sound placid; the uptempo bossa of “Liasons” sounds joyfully invigorated, the slow-boil funk of “Sua Beleza e Beleza” (featuring Donato on vocals) captures a bliss equally reminiscent of Nara Leão and Earth, Wind & Fire, and closer “Conexão” is a cold sweat that hits like air conditioning on the damp summer skin of a briskly moving dancer.
