VA - Jazz pela Manhã para Acordar (2018)

Another excursion into Latin and Brazilian funk and jazz from the Raro Raro label, this time setting Bobby Valentin classic Use It Before You Lose It dancefloor bomb against Mongo Santamarias funky take on Sunshine Of Your Love. Background singers, symthesizers. This is more programmed mood music than jazz. Smooth and nice. One would expect the instrumentation to feature mostly ballads, but the opposite is true as O.P. and Bags romp through quite a few uptempo pieces.
