Bud Shank – Holiday in Brazil

A masterpiece by Bud Shank and Laurindo Almeida, released in 1959 by World Pacific.

Recorded in Los Angeles in 1958.

Features Bud Shank's smooth alto sax and flute, complemented by the delicate guitar and arrangements of Brazilian guitarist Laurindo Almeida.

With the addition of Gary Peacock on bass and Chuck Flores on drums, West Coast Jazz and Brazilian music blend together naturally.

In fact, this collaboration began even before the global Bossa Nova boom.

"Holiday In Brazil" is an album that mixes jazz, samba, Latin, and even a touch of exotic atmosphere.

It is also fun to listen to this album while looking for hip-hop samples.

In particular, the airy groove created by the drums, percussion, guitar, and saxophone has a texture that seems to lead to the later jazz sampling culture.

It’s not flashy, but it’s the kind of record you’ll want to drop the needle on again and again.
