L.A. 4 • Watch What Happens

 

 

Biography by Scott Yanow
Altoist/flutist Bud Shank and Brazilian acoustic guitarist Laurindo Almeida first teamed up in the 1950s to create music that predated but strongly hinted at bossa nova. In 1974, they reunited to form the L.A. Four with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Chuck Flores. With Shelly Manne and later Jeff Hamilton replacing Flores on drums, the L.A. Four recorded eight albums for Concord through 1982, breaking up shortly afterward. Their mixture of cool-toned bop, Brazilian-oriented music, and ballads was quite attractive.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
El alto flautista Bud Shank y el guitarrista acústico brasileño Laurindo Almeida se unieron por primera vez en la década de 1950 para crear una música anterior a la bossa nova, aunque con fuertes guiños a ésta. En 1974, se reunieron para formar los L.A. Four con el bajista Ray Brown y el batería Chuck Flores. Con Shelly Manne y más tarde Jeff Hamilton sustituyendo a Flores en la batería, los L.A. Four grabaron ocho álbumes para Concord hasta 1982, separándose poco después. Su mezcla de bop fresco, música brasileña y baladas era bastante atractiva.
