Bud Shank - Holiday in Brazil - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

In 1953, Brazilian master guitarist Laurindo Almeida and altoist/flutist Bud Shank collaborated on their first LP for Richard Bock's Pacific Jazz tag. Laurindo Almeida Quartet Featuring Bud Shank was a groundbreaking recording, blending American jazz with Brazilian samba for the first time, years before the advent of bossa nova. Almeida and Shank enjoyed such early success with the record that they reunited five years later for their second collaboration, Holiday in Brazil (alternatively titled Brazilliance, Vol. 2). Whereas Brazilliance, Vol. 1 was led by Almeida and focused on the traditional Brazilian influences, Vol. 2 allowed Shank room to contribute more of his signature silky soloing and energetic motifs. The vibe is almost as relaxed, but bristles with an adventurous energy and swing that serves Almeida's arrangements and solid guitar accompaniment perfectly. The session is immeasurably enhanced by the adept chops of bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Chuck Flores, while Dayton InchBonesInch Howe's warm and detailed recording brings forth every nuance of this inspired date. Like Barefoot Adventure (IMP6048/IMP6057 LP / IMP8330 SACD), Holiday in Brazil is a perfect summer jazz confection light, soulful, and breezy. It goes down easy and satisfies deeply.
