Saxophonist Ernie Watts has sounded equally able and comfortable playing with Cannonball Adderley, the Rolling Stones and the Tonight Show Band. In recent years, Brazilian singer, guitarist and composer Gilberto Gil has brought to bear his knowledge of jazz and Anglo pop and rock to explore Afro-Brazilian music and the cultural legacies of African diaspora. The collaboration doesn't work however. The opening cut, "The Green Giant," is symbolic. Gil talks somberly about Brazil and its troubles over a menacing vamp, but the piece goes on aimlessly until it simply peters out, turning Gil's anger into revolutionary chic. "You are my Thrill," once sang by Billie Holiday, is reprised as sleek R&B, Adult Contemporary radio friendly. The new readings of Gil's "A Raca Humana" (Human Race) and "From Japan" lack energy and sound joyless. And then the CTI sound, so popular in the '70s, rounds all the edges, smoothes off all surfaces and puts a veil over the music, deadening the colors. It turns "Afoxe" into multicultural cocktail music.
