Soothing

Neal Alger - Brazilian Quartet is as soothing a mixture of tunes that one could want after a busy hectic day. A libation, a snack and a colorful sunset makes this an album to enjoy as the day unwinds. Once again Jonathan Horwich and crew at IPI have recorded a very good album and HDTT has given us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in musicianship and sound.

Brazilian music has a long storied history here in the United States beginning as early as 1953.  However, its popularity was cemented in the early 1960s starting with a goodwill tour of Brazil and other South American countries (1961) by American jazz musicians. Upon return, some of them (Charlie Byrd in particular) recorded Bossa Nova/jazz albums, which with the help of Stan Getz and other musicians soon caught on with the public.  Another tour of South America was launched (1962) and more Bossa Nova albums followed, which increased its popularity.  The beautiful sound of Brazilian jazz is wonderfully captured here by Neal Alger and his quartet.  If you have any doubt as to the quality of the playing, listen to the first two songs which are brilliantly executed combining both the beauty of Brazilian music and stunning jazz improvisation. This is easy-to-listen-to music combined with a depth of improvisation that makes this outing special.  Making the event even more captivating is the guitarist’s use of an older tube guitar amplifier which on this recording is appropriately captured by a vintage tube microphone (Telefunken 251e).  This tape is a work of beauty.
