In some ways, BRASIL is the long-awaited follow-up to the duo’s Grammy-winning album, Harlequin. For that album, Grusin and Ritenour brought the cream of Brazil’s jazz scene to LA to create a fresh fusion of contemporary American and Brazilian jazz. This time, Ritenour and Grusin went straight to the source, recording in São Paulo and hand-picking a group of the finest legends and young-guns in the Brazilian jazz scene, with appearances from Ivan Linz, Celso Fonseca, Tatiana Parra, Chico Pinheiro, and Grégoire Maret.
The tropical grooves supplied by some of the best players in Brazil inspire Lee and Dave’s most joyous interplay. The result is an exquisitely crafted album that continues a 50-year conversation between two masters.
