Laurindo Almeida Featuring Bud Shank - Brazilliance
Review by Téa Smith
Brazilliance, the iconic collaboration album between Laurindo Almeida and Bud Shank, is a timeless masterpiece that showcases the beauty and complexity of Brazilian music through the lens of jazz. The album features a stunning array of original compositions and classic standards that seamlessly blend traditional Brazilian rhythms with modern jazz improvisation.
From the opening track "Samba da Sahra," which features Almeida's intricate guitar work and Shank's soaring saxophone lines, to the hauntingly beautiful "Choro E Batuque," which showcases the duo's virtuosic interplay, Brazilliance is a tour de force of musical artistry.
Throughout the album, Almeida and Shank demonstrate their deep understanding and appreciation of Brazilian music, effortlessly weaving together elements of samba, bossa nova, choro, and other styles to create a rich and vibrant tapestry of sound.

Notes
- First recorded in 1953 for Pacific Jazz (PJ 1204) records them pressed in 1961 for World-Pacific, this is the first album of a three series ended in 1958 for a very nice collaboration between the brazilian sound of Almeida and the jazz sound of Shank, years before Bossa Nova was born!!!
