Guest akanalog Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 does this guy have to be on every single airto/flora related album from the 70s? his heavily processed fusion-ishly fast solos kill many songs on the airto, flora and opa milestone albums. i think he also sucked on some of sonny rollins milestone albums. airto must have been friends with him or something because he adds little and in fact, takes away from the pseudo-brazillian exoticness i enjoy on these albums.

mikeweil Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 I think he is from Brazil - he was a regular member of Airto's and Flora's band at the time and heard on many albums from that wider circle of Brazilians in the US. Not the most striking of guitarists, but he played some nice stuff on some. Didn't find him that annoying, although I can think of why he is not to your taste. He's nice on Cal Tjader's "Amazonas" on Fantasy (produced by Airto, with lots of Brazilians on it). Quote
Guest akanalog Posted August 22, 2004 Report Posted August 22, 2004 actually, i like "amazonas". i forgot about that one-amaro is OK on that. i actually like his playing on that one song "flying". Quote
