Brasil'66
I truly loved the lush Dave Grusin/Dick Hazard arrangements from Look Around through Pais Tropical.
The Portuguese lyric songs are some of my favorites, even more than some of the English lyric tunes although Lani's English lyrics are top rate.
Brasil'66 is still my all time favorite musical combo with The 5th Dimension close behind.Were there photos of band members in-studio while making the "Look Around" album?What I love so much about Brasil '66 is how their music changed and how it didn't. That the first albums were this perfect fusion of samba/bossa nova/jazz while "Look Around" announced the beginning of a lush, orchestral sound. That continued with the next two albums, though the band never lost their unique Brazilian roots, all through on to the album title track "Ye Me Le". We are truly blessed to have the best of it all from these supremely gifted musicians, vocalists, writers, arrangers and engineers.
