Raul de Souza

[discodjinn]

Last week I picked up three 1977-79 Raul de Souza lps at the local vinyl shop. I had never paid much attention to his lone chart entry (1977's "Sweet Lucy") but these albums have some fine cuts. I was able to to burn a full cd's worth of disco-jazz from the lps. He seemed to get progessively more disco as he went along. I especially love 79's "Boogie Shoes." The title track from the *Til Tomorrow Comes* album sounds like an instrumental outtake from Jackie Moore's album of 79. I'm wondering if he continued in this vein into the early 80s?

Hi discojinn,


I don't rememeber listening to RAUL DE SOUZA's albums from the 80's, but I have his most recent album. It was recorded with some european musicians and it is a straight jazz album with some brazilian music thrown in the mix. I think his "disco period" was short and he returned to jazz fusion and brazilian instrumental music for the rest of his career. He's an amazing musician, for sure.
