Atlo, tenor saxophone.
Though he didn’t arrive in Seattle from Detroit until 1961, Brazil performed at one of the last vestiges of the Jackson Street era, the Mardi Gras, on East Madison Street, and immediately connected with the older generation of musicians in the neighborhood, including Milt Garred, Jabo Ward and Floyd Standifer. Recognizing perhaps before anybody else that the tradition needed to be passed on, Brazil established his Black Academy of Music (later known as the Brazial Academy), where young musicians such as Ed Lee, George Hurst, Sam Chambliss and Doug Barnett were students. In 1965, Brazil recorded with John Coltrane for an album issued as “Om,” taught at Garfield High School and developed a black music curriculum at the University of Washington, where he taught jazz history.
