See Hermeto Pascoal for a description. The group Quarteto Novo came up with a proposal for music renovation, mixing legitimate northeastern rhythmic patterns like baião with contemporary, jazzy harmonies. In the early 70s, invited by Airto Moreira, he visited the United States, recording with Miles Davis for Moreira’s album. Back in Brazil, he made a hit LP, "A Música Livre de Hermeto Pascoal", including his own compositions and versions of Brazilian classics like "Asa Branca" (Luiz Gonzaga) and "Carinhoso" (Pixinguinha).
