Ed Motta

Musician

Brazilian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for blending soul, funk and jazz-fusion with Brazilian sensibilities. First releases date from 1988; praised on DeBaser for the albums Dwitza and AOR.

Reviews note collaborations and associations (Roy Ayers, Gilberto Gil, Marisa Monte, Incognito, Morelenbaum2/Sakamoto) and cite influences and comparisons including Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Fagen & Becker, and West Coast session aesthetics; Dwitza and AOR are discussed in detail in the provided reviews. Reviews also state he is the nephew of Tim Maia.

Two DeBaser reviews treat Ed Motta as a connoisseur of West Coast/AOR sounds and a virtuoso of Brazilian soul and fusion. AOR is read as an elegant pastiche of California session styles; Dwitza is praised as a richest display of his multi‑instrumental, genre‑blending talents.

For:Fans of West Coast/AOR, Brazilian soul, jazz‑fusion, adult contemporary and collectors of tasteful session‑style music.

 Because when you talk about AOR it's always good to specify what you are talking about.
