Arthur Verocai – Arthur Verocai
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1972, Funk, Jazz
Sweet and jazzy pop from early 70s Brazil — a great little album that we’d rank with our favorites by Marcos Valle and Edu Lobo! Arthur Verocai isn’t nearly as well-known as those two, but he works in a similar territory — taking jazz, large arrangements, and nice touches of electric funk — and working them into a groove that has the soaring and ambitious feel of the best post-Tropicalia work of 70s Brazil! This rare gem was self-produced, and fell of the map almost as soon as it was released — but it really deserves wider recognition, and shines with a depth that makes it an instant classic to our ears! Titles include “Presente Grego”, “Caboclo”, “Pelas Sombras”, “O Mapa”, “Sylvia”, “Karina”, “Velho Parente”, and “Dedicada A Ela”.
