Bud Shank – Holiday in Brazil is a breezy Brazilian jazz classic and a landmark collaboration with master guitarist Laurindo Almeida. Also known as Brazilliance, Vol. 2, this Impex Records reissue pairs Shank's silky alto sax and flute with Almeida's elegant arrangements, Brazilian samba influences, and an easy but adventurous swing.
Originally released on Pacific Jazz, Holiday in Brazil brought Almeida and Shank back together five years after their groundbreaking first collaboration. Bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Chuck Flores add an exceptionally strong rhythmic foundation, while Dayton “Bones” Howe's warm, detailed recording captures every nuance of the session.
