Notes

AMG Review by Scott Yanow (2 1/2): On this project, singer Flora Purim is backed by a large string orchestra and a countless number of top studio and jazz players, playing arrangements by Michel Colombier. Although some of the musicians are quite notable (including Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, David Sanborn, Oscar Neves, Jaco Pastorius and even Herbie Hancock), the overall music is generally forgettable. Most of the playing sounds planned in advance, and not much spontaneity occurs, certainly not from the London Symphony Orchestra. Purim's voice is fine, but none of the 11 songs (eight by Colombier) were destined to catch on. ================================= Kevin Beamish Mixing Tamaki Beck Mastering Dennis Belfield Bass, Rhythm Bass Michael Boddicker Bass, Oberheim, Effects, Mini Moog, Arp 2600, Arp Odyssey Michael Brecker Trumpet, Horn, Sax (Tenor), Soloist Randy Brecker Trumpet, Horn, Soloist John Cabalka Art Direction, Visual Concept Oscar Castro-Neves Guitar, Vocals (bckgr) Al Ciner Guitar Bud Cockrell Vocals (bckgr) Michel Colombier Synthesizer, Piano, Arranger, Vocals (bckgr), Fender Rhodes, Oberheim, Horn Arrangements, String Arrangements, Mini Moog, Arp Odyssey Denis Degher Assistant Laudir DeOliveira Percussion Raul DeSouza Trombone, Horn, Soloist George Duke Keyboards, Piano (Electric), Vocals, Fender Rhodes Jon Faddis Horn David Foster Piano, Keyboards, Fender Rhodes Roy Galleway Vocals (bckgr) Mitch Gordon Vocals (bckgr) Jay Graydon Guitar, Guitar (Electric), Guitar Effects Lani Hall Vocals (bckgr) Herbie Hancock Piano, Fender Rhodes Roger Harris Engineer, Remixing Alphonso Johnson Bass Brad Kanawyer Cover Lettering John Lehman Vocals (bckgr) The London Symphony Orchestra Strings Harvey Mason, Sr. Drums Byron Miller Bass Bob Monaco Producer Airto Moreira Percussion, Drums, Vocals, Vocals (bckgr), Producer Claude Mougin Photography Jin Nakahara Liner Notes Oscar Neves Guitar, Vocals (bckgr), Cavaco, Quing Jaco Pastorius Bass, Vocals Jim Pugh Horn Flora Purim Percussion, Vocals, Vocals (bckgr), Liner Notes Yana Purim Vocals (bckgr) John Richards Engineer Lee Ritenour Guitar, Guitar (Rhythm) David Sanborn Horn, Sax (Alto), Sax (Tenor), Soloist Pattie Santos Vocals (bckgr) George Sopuch Guitar Sybil Thomas Vocals (bckgr) Chester Thompson Drums Jeff Titus Engineer Marcos Valle Vocals (bckgr)
