Nice Afro-Latin set with Coryell on acoustic guitar, recorded in Bahia. The assembled cast includes drummer Billy Cobham, alto saxophonist Donald Harrison, and several Brazilian musicians, notably vocalist Dori Caymmi. All Music.
1994 was a
sad year to for Brazil with loss of two great men Jobim and Senna. This
album on the other hand is a great gift from Brazil that cheers us up
just after these events. It is always like this in Brazil, sad days
followed by happy ones again and again, there is no other choice, it is a
great ability of Brazilians to rejoice. This album reminds of a
timeless Bahia, Salvador where sandy beaches and mulattos and
cervejinhas and sun is eternal. You can feel these at your home,
wherever you are, just by listening and occasionally gazing the album
cover. .
A previous
poster / reviewer denigrated this fine CD release as pleasant mood
music. What is wrong with that? What is wrong with progressive, melodic,
and harmonic music? Is noise and dissonance the valued demanded sound?
The
interplay of all concerned executants is great, conveying spirited fun.
Dori Caymmi on vocals adds an element of exalted tinge of Brazilian
flair.
The music within, played by some of the finest Jazz
musicians around; Larry Coryell, guitar, Donald Harrison, sax, Marcio
Montorroyos, fluglehorn, Billy Cobham, drums, Nico Assumpção, bass,
assertively melds to form the fusion of Jazz and 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 and duality [of the release] in that, it is
pleasant mood music. It is music that places one on the portico as seen
on the video release, dancing and swaying to the music.
Two years
before the release of Paul Simon's GRACELAND and the accompanying
increase in awareness of world music, Larry Coryell travelled to Brazil
and created this low-key recording in Brazil, which features many native
performers--including vocalist Dori Caymmi who is featured on several
cuts. Coryell is backed by a 9-piece band, including drummer Billy
Cobham (who worked with Miles Davis and John McLaughlin) and saxophonist
Donald Harrison, who should have gotten co-billing on this CD in that
he has has many solos as Coryell himself. Overall, this is a fairly
laid back affair. Coryell does a nice job of blending the local musical
influences.
HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER.
If you
like Brazilian Jazz this is a great CD to listen to. And if you also
like Coryell - this is one of his most consistent and well done
recordings! A++ The Video of the live concert version is also a
must to have! .

" What is wrong with progressive, melodic, and harmonic music? Is noise and dissonance the valued demanded sound? "
ReplyDelete1. There is nothing progressive about this album at all.
2. The problem with this record is that it lacks passion. It's a boring hum-drum Latin jazz instead of an interesting, creative Latin jazz.
3. Most consistent Coryell - well, perhaps if consistency means completely lackluster ...
"The Restful Mind" and "The Lion and the Ram" and "Spaces" are just three infinitely superior albums by Larry Coryell.
Hello. Please, re-up if it possible
