DESCRIPTION:
Assim Não Da - John Patitucci - Mistura Fina - 1995.-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"All songs written or co-written by John Patitucci or Joao Bosco except "Samba Novo" (Dori Caymmi) and "Assim Nao Da" (Kleber Jorge/Regina Werneck). John Patitucci, a brilliant bassist best known for his fusion playing with Chick Corea's Elektric Band, leans strongly in the direction of Brazilian pop music on this CD. Most of the selections have vocals, and although Patitucci takes a lot of excellent acoustic bass solos (and there are occasional solo spots for keyboardist John Beasley and saxophonist Steve Tavaglione), this CD is more in the world music than fusion vein. The vocalists include Joao Bosco, Dori Caymmi, Kleber Jorge, Ivan Lins, Cathy Brandolino and Kevyn Lettau. ~ Scott Yanow Recorded at Mad Hatter Studios, Los Angeles, California in June and August, 1994.
