1994 was a distressing yr to for Brazil amongst loss of 2 bully men Jobim as well as Senna. This album on the other manus is a bully gift from Brazil that thank yous us upwardly only afterward these events. It is e'er similar this inwards Brazil, distressing days followed yesteryear happy ones in i lawsuit again as well as again, at that spot is no other choice, it is a bully might of Brazilians to rejoice. This album reminds of a timeless Bahia, Salvador where sandy beaches as well as mulattos as well as cervejinhas as well as Sun is eternal. You tin strength out experience these at your home, wherever yous are, only yesteryear listening as well as occasionally gazing the album cover..
A previous poster / reviewer denigrated this fine CD liberate equally pleasant mood music. What is incorrect amongst that? What is incorrect amongst progressive, melodic, as well as harmonic music? Is dissonance as well as dissonance the valued demanded sound?
The interplay of all concerned executants is great, conveying spirited fun. Dori Caymmi on vocals adds an chemical ingredient of exalted tinge of Brazilian flair.
The music within, played yesteryear around of the finest Jazz musicians around; Larry Coryell, guitar, Donald Harrison, sax, Marcio Montorroyos, fluglehorn, Billy Cobham, drums, Nico Assumpção, bass, assertively melds to shape the fusion of Jazz as well as Brazilian flavors--guides the listener to a fine place, a fun place.
A perfectly fine CTI records compact disc of Jazz music that ironically enriches the reality as well as duality [of the release] inwards that, it is pleasant mood music. It is music that places i on the portico equally seen on the video release, dancing as well as swaying to the music.
Two years earlier the liberate of Paul Simon's GRACELAND as well as the accompanying growth inwards awareness of globe music, Larry Coryell travelled to Brazil as well as created this low-key recording inwards Brazil, which features many native performers--including vocalizer Dori Caymmi who is featured on several cuts. Coryell is backed yesteryear a 9-piece band, including drummer Billy Cobham (who worked amongst Miles Davis as well as John McLaughlin) as well as saxophonist Donald Harrison, who should accept gotten co-billing on this CD inwards that he has has many solos equally Coryell himself. Overall, this is a fairly seat dorsum affair. Coryell does a overnice chore of blending the local musical influences.
