An amazing album of icy Brazilian jazz and sweet electric funk! Singer Ana Mazzotti is at the head of the session - singing with this breezy style that's at once cold and warm, cool and emotive - and she's backed by a small jazz combo with some incredible moog, Arp, and organ from Jose Roberto! The record's got a bucketful of groove-heavy tracks that feel like CTI meeting up with Joao Donato - and the album's a treasure that should be in the collection of any fan of 70s Brazilian funk! Titles include "Cordao", "Soul", "Bairro Negro", "Eu Sou Mai Eu", "Roda Mundo", "Sou", and "Agora Ou Nunca Mais" - plus an incredible version of "Feel Like Making Love"! Source: Dusty Groove
This LP was originally released in 1974, on Top Tape Music. Mazzottis vocals are backed by a seriously funking quartet. In fact, it says here on the release notes that three of its members played with the brazilian legend Azymuth. The use of Fender piano and other early synths give this album a touch of soft-edged fusion rather like some of the Antonio Carlo Jobim's best work on CTI (I'm thinking of "Stone Flower" in particular). The lushness is derived from the group's funkyness but Jose Roberto who plays keys is particularly able of generating that unmistakable 70's jazzfunk sound that is so much sought after in today's nu-jazz circles. In fact, this is the stuff that guys like Jazzanova must be listening to before going into the studio (or while actually recording, for that matter). Tracks like "Agora Ou Nunca Mais" and "Eu Sous Mais Eu" will certainly appeal to those who love their 70's loungejazz pure and unspoiled by 4/4 electronics. While there's some tight swinging it all remains very relaxed... It's soulful jazz fusion à la brasil at its best. Source: Kristof Space Debris
