Along with Baden Powell and Laurindo Almeida (who came earlier), composer Luiz Bonfa ("Manha da Carnaval") was one of the prime Brazilian guitarists during bossa nova's heyday, releasing a string of American instrumental albums all through the '60s. (Charlie Byrd, who first introduced the music here, gave them all competition from the American side.) THE BRAZILIAN SCENE, recorded in 1966, features jazz flutist Jerome Richardson and arranger Hal Mooney, but it's mostly a showcase for Bonfa's strong classical guitar. Heavily influenced by Andres Segovia, Bonfa favors a more highly structured approach than the introspective Powell or the jazzy Almeida, producing a bright, aggressive sound that cuts right through the easy-listening arrangments. (The opening, "Avocado," even bears a small resemblance to the Tijuana Brass.) Though there are no bossa nova standards this time out, the light and breezy set is divided between Bonfa originals and choice covers such as "Yesterday" and "That Old Black Magic," on which the guitarist jauntily riffs in a syncopated samba, along with Brazilian drummer Helcio Milito.
Personnel: Luiz Bonfá (guitar); Jerome Richardson (flute); Donald Payne (bass instrument); Hélcio Milito (drums).
Arrangers: Hal Mooney; Luiz Bonfá.

| | Killing Floor CD (1995) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany
Brazilian Scene
$25.39
The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with different words. The lone "cover" in the set was written by Willie Dixon titled "Woman You Need Love," the tune Zep ripped for "Whole ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Brazilian Scene
$19.79 
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What ...
| | Legend CD (2007) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany
Brazilian Scene
$25.69
In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that his first band, Legend, was proto-pub, an unabashed celebration of old-time rock & roll, filled with three-chord Chuck Berry rockers and doo wop backing vocals. Nevertheless, listening to their 1970 LP is a bit of a shock, as it's completely disassociated with anything that was happening in 1970, even with Tony Visconti enlisted as their producer. Legend's sensibility is ahead of its time in its retro thinking, pointing the way to the rock ...
