"Jazz Times"

"The Brazilian groups were fascinating, especially Casa Forte, a quartet led by the flutist and saxophonist (alto and soprano) Mauro Senise, playing music by the singer and composer Edu Lobo. His album of Lobo's songs, one of the year's outstanding releases, is difficult to find here, but worth the effort. Senise is a gifted improviser - his well tuned soprano and beaming flute and piccolo combine, in the Brazilian manner, glittery virtuosity, rhythmic intensity and easy lyricism. No less impressive were solo turns by bassist Ivan Conti and pianist Itamar Assiere, and the arrangements (by Gilson Peranzzetta) of such memorable pieces as the ballad "Canção do Amanhecer" and the quasi-blues "A história de Lily Braun".
Gary Giddins, Jazz Times, December 2007

- Gary Giddins


"O GLOBO (Rio de Janeiro)"

"Sem muitos improvisos, o saxofonista e flautista Mauro Senise prefere explorar os ricos desenhos melódicos e ritmicos desse igualmente rico repertório, que vai de samba a valsa, foxtrot, frevo, balada, marcha rancho... "Casa Forte - Mauro Senise toca Edu Lobo", grandes músicos trabalhando a favor da grande música de Edu Lobo!" - Antonio Carlos Miguel


"Estado de Minas (Belo Horizonte)"

"O CD "Casa Forte - Mauro Senise toca Edu Lobo" é uma das coisas mais fortes que já ouvi na música brasileira nos últimos tempos!" - Maria Alice Martins (curadora do festival Tudo é Jazz, de Ouro Preto)

Bio

Mauro Senise was born in May 1950, in Rio de Janeiro, the grandson of philosopher Alceu Amoroso Lima. He started his career in 70’s. Studied classical flute with Odette Ernest Dias and saxophone with Paulo Moura, two masters that Mauro considers as fundamental for his career. For many years, he played and recorded with other great masters such as Hermeto Pascoal, Egberto Gismonti, Wagner Tiso and Luis Eça. He also recorded with the greatest names from Popular Brazilian Music. He received many awards, among which are the Playboy trophy and the Brahma Extra de Revelação Instrumental award (Instrumental Revelation) for the whole of his works. He performed around Europe with Egberto Gismonti and in Spain, France, Belgium, the United States, Malta Island and Ecuador with Cama de Gato. He has launched six CDs with this group. In 1988, Mauro made his first solo record, Mauro Senise, and the second, Jade, in the following year. In a partnership with composer, pianist, and arranger Gilson Peranzzetta, he launched two more CDs: Uma Parte de Nós and Vera Cruz. In 1995, Mauro recorded in New York, in a duet with the excellent guitar and electric guitar player Romero Lubambo, an album with the standards of Brazilian popular music. In August 1998, he was invited to the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival, in Finland, where he was the soloist of Radamés Gnatalli and Villa-Lobos pieces. In May 1999, he launched his seventh solo CD, Virtuoso. In June 2001, Senise launched the CD Dançando nas Nuvens, with his quartet, received with enthusiasm by the critics. Also in June of that same year, the Mauro Senise Quartet was invited to participate in the 2nd Chivas Jazz Festival, in Rio and São Paulo, along with major jazz names of the moment. The Mauro senise Quartet was pointed out by the reviews as one of the highlights of the festival. In April 2002, Mauro launched another solo CD, Vênus, where he reunites compositions that have women’s names and were composed by some of the greatest composers of Brazilian music. In May 2002, Mauro performed at the Lincoln Center, in New York, in the show The Music by Pixinguinha, directed by guitarist Romero Lubambo, with the participation of Romero himself, Nilson Matta, Duduka da Fonseca, Sérgio Brandão and Cyro Baptista, and with the special participation of Paula Robison, one of the main American classical flutists. In 2003, Senise launched the CD Frente a Frente, the third one of his duet with Gilson Peranzzetta. In 2005, he releases Tempo Caboclo, a new CD with music from Brazilian classic composers, among others, Villa-Lobos, Guerra-Peixe, Lorenzo Fernandez, Chiquinha Gonzaga and Claudio Santoro. Tempo Caboclo won Latin Grammy 2006 in Classical Music category. In 2005 too, he toured Europe with Cama de Gato, a quintet founded by him and Pascoal Meirelles. The group performed at Malta Jazz Festival, in Malta Island, and at Jazz at Juan, in France. In 2006, when his carrier celebrated 35 years, Mauro releases his new CD, “Casa Forte – Mauro Senise toca Edu Lobo”, only with music by the great master. The arrangements are by Gilson Peranzzetta. Edu Lobo makes a special feature in “Canção do Amanhecer”.
