Bud Shank: Holiday in Brazil – SUPER-AUDIO CD

Title: Holiday in Brazil Artist: Bud Shank Label: Impex Records Product Type: SUPER-AUDIO CD UPC: 856276002763 Genre: Jazz Release Date: 2026-07-24 Number of Discs: 1 In 1953, Brazilian master guitarist Laurindo Almeida and altoist/flutist Bud Shank collaborated on their first LP for Richard Bock’s Pacific Jazz label. Laurindo Almeida Quartet Featuring Bud Shank was a groundbreaking recording, blending American jazz with Brazilian samba for the first time, years before the advent of bossa nova. Almeida and Shank enjoyed such early success with the record that they reunited five years later for their second collaboration, Holiday in Brazil (alternatively titled Brazilliance, Vol. 2). Whereas Brazilliance, Vol. 1 was led by Almeida and focused on the traditional Brazilian influences, Vol. 2 allowed Shank room to contribute more of his signature silky soloing and energetic motifs. The vibe is almost as relaxed, but bristles with an adventurous energy and swing that serves Almeida’s arrangements and solid guitar accompaniment perfectly. The session is immeasurably enhanced by the adept chops of bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Chuck Flores, while Dayton “Bones” Howe’s warm and detailed recording brings forth every nuance of this inspired date. Like Barefoot Adventure (IMP6048/IMP6057 LP / IMP8330 SACD), Holiday in Brazil is a perfect summer jazz confection: light, soulful, and breezy. It goes down easy and satisfies deeply. Impex Records is proud to reintroduce this musically stunning and sonically superb “Holiday in Brazil.” First Time on Analog-Sourced Hi-Rez SACD. Designed to Play on Standard CD Players, SACD Players & Other SACD-Capable Players. Mastered from the Original Analog Tape by Grammy Winner Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.
