Pascoal Meirelles: Considerações, Tamba, Anna, and Ostinato

 Genius level composition here, in some places, but particularly in the astonishing 1983 Tamba album with its nonstop inventive, creative, progressive latin-tinged, chamber-augmented fusion.

From discogs:

Brazilian drummer (b. 1944). After playing with "Tempo trio" and other muscians he went to Berklee to complete his studies. He played with Antonio Carlos Jobim on "Terra Brasilis".
When he returned to Brazil in the first 80s, he played with Gonzaguinha's band and founded instrumental band "Cama de Gato".
In 1981 he released his first solo album, "Considerações a respeito", followed by "Tambá" (1983) and "Anna" (1987), dedicated to his first daughter.
