Amilton Godoy Trio or Zimbo Trio?
With a career spanning more than sixty years, the pianist Amilton Godoy has won many awards in his time, including almost all of Brazil’s Classical music awards during the 1960s.
After forty-nine years as founder and leader of the Zimbo Trio, Amilton took to the stage with the Amilton Godoy Trio, always accompanied by great musicians such as the drummer Edu Ribeiro e the bassist Sidiel Vieira.
"After Rubinho (Barsotti) left the Trio, I felt that there was no sense in keeping the name Zimbo Trio for the new group", Amilton revealed about the trio, which lost the bassist Luiz Chaves in 2007. "But being on stage with such talented artists, I can pay tribute to my old bandmates, telling the story of the Zimbo Trio through music", he finishes.
