PROPER...again...with a twist

douglasnegley | Pittsburgh, Pa. United States | 09/12/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The people who are producing these gems at Proper in the U.K. must be commended for at least knowing a broad range of great music. I have heard from a friend that the Baden Powell part of this set is great...I can say, as both a fan, and as a friend of the late guitar genius from Brazil, Laurindo Almeida, that his portion is 5 star. Laurindo started his own label - Brazilliance Records - and this small portion can be found on it. "Escadoo", "O Barquinho", "The Samba Medley (from 'Black Orpheus')" are all great Almeida treatments. Anyone who really wants to delve into the heart and soul of Laurindo's favorite stuff should look for "Formation Of Brazillian Music" on the Brazilliance label - hopefully still in existence, and hopefully being run by his wife, Deltra - herself a great singer. There are many more Brazilliance works, as Almeida was a great composer, player, and proponent of Brazilian music, both popular and classical, but my favorite is the aformentioned "Formation..", which features the stunning 'Brazilian Popular Suite' by Brazilian composer Radames Gnattali. Brazilliance Records is, hopefully, still run out of Sherman Oaks, California."
