Gilberto Gil
"Ao Vivo: Montreaux International Jazz Festival"
(Elektra, 1978)
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is a nice, pleasantly indulgent concert album, with jamming versions of "Batmacumba," "Chuckberry Fields Forever," "Ela," "Procissao," and others. It's fun! (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To Brazilian Music)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great live recording of Gil's funky side, February 11, 2005

This review is from: Ao Vivo Em Montreux (Audio CD)

This live disc contains a spirited live performace that touches on the funkier side of Gil and Brasilian music in general. Especially memorable is the second tune, Chororo, which has a kind of joyous tropical feel to it which is counter balanced by a musical bridge which appears several times that puts the major chords of the vocals against the minor chords of the band, creating an interesting 'tense' section in an otherwise upbeat song. The cover of Tropicalia favorite Bat Macumba is terrific as well, very extended and different than the Os Mutantes version. This disc is a great addition to any MPB collection, and might also be enjoyed by the jam band set due to Gil's band's funky and frenetic back up work.
