1.0 out of 5 stars Luiz Eça and Vitor Assis Brazil live! (But not on this CD.), July 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Ao Vivo No Mam (Audio CD)

Luiz Eça (of Tamba Trio fame) was an enormously talented pianist and a briliant arranger to boot, while Vítor Assis Brasil was probably the most inventive saxophone player ever to come out of Brazil. Sad to say, this CD, recorded in Rio in the late 70's, does neither of them justice. The playing wanders along aimlessly, with both men sounding like they're not quite all there (which they probably weren't.) The recording quality is appalling. In sum, this CD is a mess in every way.

If you want to discover (or rediscover) these giants of Brazilian jazz, you'd be better off looking at their other (ANY other) recordings. I know what I'm talking about - I have most of them, and they're almost invariably of a very high standard.

Great improvisational jazz! While this doesn't have the commercial feel of a bunch of Brazilian samba's, it is excellent improvisational jazz. To some this may sound like pointless wandering, but other ears will find it interesting and challenging. This is a live recording, not a studio recording, but the sound quality is fine for what it is. I would rate this 4 stars.
