( = one of the Best Living Guitarists in all styles (!)) by the French guitar magazine Guitarist. He won a lot of awards and at the age of 25 he was even labelled as les 100 meilleurs guitaristes mondiaux, tous styles confondus. Roland Dyers, born in Tunisia in October 1955 learned to play the guitar from leading classical instrumentalists like the Spanish guitarist Alberta Ponce, and also studied composition as a student of Desiré Dondeyne, a well known composer and conductor. On this album, Naquele tempo, Roland Dyens honours this legendary Brazilian composer.

He inspired with his music numerous musicians, not only reed players, and the day he was born, the 23rd of April, is labelled as Choro Day in Brazil. He developed with his compositions the musical traditions of Brazil into a musical genre named Choro. Pixinguinha was, for those readers of this blog who have never heard about him, a Brazilian flute and saxophone player, born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in April 1897. This album was dedicated to the music of the Brazilian composer and patriarch of Choro music, Pixinguinha. Joergen Larsen introduced us in his Choro-Music blog to the latest album made by Roland Dyens, titled Naquele tempo.
