1994 was a distressing twelvemonth to for Brazil alongside loss of 2 slap-up men Jobim as well as Senna. This album on the other manus is a slap-up gift from Brazil that thank you lot us upwards but later these events. It is ever similar this inward Brazil, distressing days followed past times happy ones i time to a greater extent than as well as again, in that location is no other choice, it is a slap-up mightiness 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 experience these at your home, wherever you lot are, but past times listening as well as occasionally gazing the album cover..
A previous poster / reviewer denigrated this fine CD unloosen every bit pleasant mood music. What is incorrect alongside that? What is incorrect alongside 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 component division of exalted tinge of Brazilian flair.
The music within, played past times to a greater extent than or less 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] inward that, it is pleasant mood music. It is music that places i on the portico every bit seen on the video release, dancing as well as swaying to the music.
Two years earlier the unloosen of Paul Simon's GRACELAND as well as the accompanying growth inward awareness of globe music, Larry Coryell travelled to Brazil as well as created this low-key recording inward Brazil, which features many native performers--including singer Dori Caymmi who is featured on several cuts. Coryell is backed past times a 9-piece band, including drummer Billy Cobham (who worked alongside Miles Davis as well as John McLaughlin) as well as saxophonist Donald Harrison, who should pick out gotten co-billing on this CD inward that he has has many solos every bit Coryell himself. Overall, this is a fairly lay dorsum affair. Coryell does a dainty undertaking of blending the local musical influences.
HALL OF FAMETOP M REVIEWER.
