BRASIL, the new album by Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin is a showcase
for the unique talents of two of the most successful and infuential
musicians of their generation - It has been an enduring friendship and
collaboration, from playing the famed Baked Potato in Los Angeles in the
70s, to collaborations on Dave's records and flms and Lee's albums, plus
years of touring together on the biggest stages
Guitarist Ritenour and pianist Grusin began their fervent involvement in Brazilian
music half a century ago. And, as boldly demonstrated on BRASIL, their new
studio recording in several decades dedicated to the genre, their passion remains
unabated. BRASIL is a bracing survey of contemporary Brazilian sounds featuring
some of that country's most notable young musicians. Also spotlighted are the
talents of Swiss born harmonica ace Gregoire Maret and Brazilian vocalist and
composer Ivan Lins, whose album Harlequin with Ritenour and Grusin won a
GRAMMYr Award in 1986.
Ritenour and Grusin have made an indelible mark in the music industry. With the
release of BRASIL, they continue to exemplify how their longevity and success is
tribute to their ability to stay on the pulse of the music scene today. "Brazilian
music continues to permeate the world," Lee observes. "So, now was the right
time and inspiration to go to Brazil and do this recording." And their musical
magic continues!
