Description:

Eddie Daniels Tribute to Ivan LinsThe second installment in the MPB series following the Grammy-nominated collection of Gismonti's works features Dave Grusin and Bob James - their first collaboration recording! Following the release of "Heart of Brazil - A Tribute to Egberto Gismonti," Eddie Daniels presents a tribute to Ivan Lins, featuring the music of the Brazilian MPB composer. The producer is George Clavin, founder of Resonance Records, who visited Brazil in the 1970s and was deeply impressed by Brazilian music and fascinated by the music of Ivan Lins. Like Egberto Gismonti's highly acclaimed and Grammy-nominated collection of songs, this album was also selected by Clavin.Since the beginning of his career in the early 70's, Ivan Lins has literally created many gems of melody, and we have selected songs from the end of the 70's and beginning of the 80's, including "Velas Icadas" and other songs from "SomosTodos Ignais Nasta Noite" and "A Noite". The selection is based on songs released from the end of the 70s to the beginning of the 80s. While the core members include Eddie Daniels and the rhythm section is made up of the same artists as on the previous albums, the attraction of this album is the guest participation of Dave Grusin and Bob James! Dave Grusin is the artist who featured Ivan on the album "Harlequin" and made Ivan's existence and music widely known to the American public. Bob James is an artist who has been influenced by the music of Ivan Lins. These two masters of contemporary music, who need no explanation, are joined by Eddie Daniels, who has recognized their talent, and also performs with them on the last number! Grusin plays acoustic piano and James plays electric piano.Each, in their 80s in age! Artists with long careers are performing together here for the first time. In fact, we are informed that this MPB series is a trilogy, and that a collection of Milton Nascimento songs is planned after this one. Ivan Lins and Milton Nascimento are different from the first Gismonti, as each artist's voice and voice is key, along with beautiful melody lines, but there is no doubt that the producer's love for music is taking shape, and we look forward to the complete collection.
