Claude Ciari - Bernard Gerard &The Batucada's Seven
LP (Item 47060) Dare Dare (France), Late 60s — Condition: New Copy
A nice little bossa-inflected groover from France! The team of Claude Ciari and Bernard Gerard arranged the album – which is a mix of guitar, flute, organ, bass, drums, and percussion with a distinct bossa influence. A few tracks are originals – like "Funky Bat", "Bahia Style", "Sunrise", and "Holiday's Trail" – and the rest of the material includes bossa and pop covers like "Felicidad", "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head", "The Shadow Of Your Smile", and "Manha Da Carnival". There's a sweetly singing style to the set that's very nice – and which reminds us of the best easy late 60s instrumental pop on labels like Verve or Impulse! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
