Featuring fellow Brazilians Mauricio Maestro, Nana Vasconcelos and Tutty Moreno, and in-demand statesiders including Michael Brecker, Joe Farrell and Buster Williams, it kicks off with a sensational eleven-minute version of her anthemic Feminina. Check out Descompassadamente, too. Lovely stuff.
Mono and stereo — with six from just before (the unreleased, jazzy My Love, a stripped-down She Is) and twelve with his still-earlier band The Bohemians. Sex, romance, mysticism… soul power. Exquisitely packaged.
Live in London, 1968.
Magnificent do-over of Dennis Brown’s classic Foot Of The Mountain. A TG Binns production from mid-seventies New York. Murder.
Trippy early-70s folk-jazz-soul from guitarist Ernie Calabria and singer Barbara Massey (back-up for Cat Stevens, amongst others) — orchestrated by Deodato, with Keith Jarrett amongst the guests.
Another five-star, stone classic. Check his bass clarinet scorching into the Monk tribute, to start. Fire! The rhythm section — Anthony Williams and Richard Davis, Stravinsky’s favourite bassist — is stupendous.
The two 1961 New Jazz masterworks, with Mal Waldron, Ron Carter, Booker Ervin and co.
