Mind-blowing new Brazilian jazz album featuring Sergio Mendes, Airto Moreira, Quarteto Novo, Tom Jobim, Milton Banana, Meirelles, Tenorio Jnr, Joao Donato and more!
This is an essential guide to the incredible set of musicians who started their careers in Rio or Sao Paulo in the 1960s and laid down the template for Brazilian music over the next 50 years.
At the end of the 1960s many of these musicians headed to the USA pioneerring the new sound of Brazilian jazz fusion as Airto Moreira joined Miles Davis's electric group, Dom Um Romao joined Weather Report and Deodato became one of the biggest selling fusion artists of the decade.
This album tells the story of how this music evolved from the swinging hard bossa of Rio's nightclub scene in the early 1960s to the explosion of fusion in the USA in the 1970s.
