Pressed at Record Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1953, Brazilian master guitarist Laurindo Almeida and altoist\/flutist Bud Shank collaborated on their first LP for Richard Bock's Pacific Jazz label. Laurindo Almeida Quartet Featuring Bud Shank was a groundbreaking recording, blending American jazz with Brazilian samba for the first time, years before the advent of bossa nova. Almeida and Shank enjoyed such early success with the record that they reunited five years later for their second collaboration, Holiday in Brazil (alternatively titled Brazilliance, Vol. 2).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhereas Brazilliance, Vol. 1 was led by Almeida and focused on the traditional Brazilian influences, Vol. 2 allowed Shank room to contribute more of his signature silky soloing and energetic motifs. The vibe is almost as relaxed, but bristles with an adventurous energy and swing that serves Almeida's arrangements and solid guitar accompaniment perfectly. The session is immeasurably enhanced by the adept chops of bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Chuck Flores, while Dayton \"Bones\" Howe's warm and detailed recording brings forth every nuance of this inspired date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShank and Almeida's harmonious collaborations continued into the 1970s, forming the famed L.A. jazz group The LA4 with icons Ray Brown and Chuck Flores (later replaced by Shelly Manne, then Jeff Hamilton). Together, these titans would record lauded albums for Concord Records, including the direct-to-disc audiophile classic Just Friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur deluxe package reproduces the reverse-tip-on jacket and brown paper label of the original release. Like Barefoot Adventure (IMP6048\/IMP6057 LP \/ IMP8330 SACD), Holiday in Brazil is a perfect summer jazz confection: light, soulful, and breezy. It goes down easy and satisfies deeply.
