Release Notes:

by soul seduction
'Encore' is the new studio album from Arthur Verocai, a multi
talented Brazilian guitar player, composer and arranger,
considered by many as Brazil's answer to David Axelrod & Charles
Stepney.
Featuring 11 new compositions from Arthur with guest musicians
including Azymuth, Ivan Lins and a nine-piece string section,
'Encore' is the highly anticipated follow up to Arthur's eponymous
debut album from 1972 (!). It sees Arthur joining the dots over 35
years to create a new classic of Brazilian music that, like his
debut, combines Brazilian influences with his take on American
soul and cinematic experimentation, and shows Arthur's sound is as
poignant now as it was in the 70s.
Following on from Marcos Valle, Joyce and of course Azymuth,
Arthur Verocai is the latest in a long-line of Brazilian musicians
whose music is set to be introduced to a whole new legion of fans
by Far Out. The story of 'Encore' of course begins with Joe Davis,
Far Out's head honcho who stumbled upon Arthur's debut in a dusty
record store in downtown Rio in the late 80s. At the time of its
release in 1972 critics panned Arthur's debut and both the album
and artist subsequently vanished into obscurity. Fast forward to
winter 2004 and Joe's at the studio of Far Out Recording artists
Harmonic 33 - aka production duo Mark 'Troubleman' Pritchard and
Dave Brinkworth - playing them some of his favourite Brazilian
albums. Dave recalls the moment Joe put on Arthur's debut, "As
soon as the needle hit the record and we heard the fantastic
arrangements, songs and sounds, Arthur completely blew our minds".
Three months later and Dave was in Brazil with Arthur Verocai, and
the plans for what was to become 'Encore' were being laid down.
Produced by Dave, 'Encore' sees Arthur on incredible form, the 35
plus years between the recording of his debut and this the follow
-up just melting away as Arthur picks up the (conductor's) baton
once again to create 11 epic tracks of stirring samba-soul and
experimental cinematic movements that sees him creating a record
to rival his debut.
Opening track 'Tupa Tupi' kicks proceedings off in suitable
widescreen style as a trio of male vocalists ride over soaring
strings and warm horns. 'Amor Na Contra Mao', is a perky bossa
whilst tracks three and four, 'Sucuri' and 'Abertura'
respectively, hark back to the experimental nature of Arthur's
acclaimed debut CD; 'Sucuri' features some abstract Rhodes playing
from Azymuth's Bertrami whilst 'Abertura' is a beautiful string-
led interlude. Things then get spiced up with 'Bis', a clubby-
Brazilian-samba that was a big radio hit earlier this year. The
rest of the album doesn't disappoint with experimental-cinematic
instrumental and vocal pieces such as 'Donas Das Meninas' and
'Filhas', the latter featuring the celebrated Ivan Lins on vocals,
appearing between more classic US soul and funk influenced grooves
such as 'Tudo De Bom' and 'Eu Quero Paz', to create a modern
interpretation of late 60s/70s classic 'cinematic' samba that will
appeal to fans of Marcos Valle and Azymuth.
Born in Rio de Janeiro on 17 June 1945, Arthur Verocai began his
professional music career in 1969 and over the next few years he
was responsible for the orchestration of albums by Ivan Lins,
Jorge Benjor, Elizeth Cardoso, Gal Costa, Quarteto em Cy, MPB 4
and Marcos Valle, among others. In the 1970s he was hired by
Brazil's biggest TV station, TV Globo, as musical director and
wrote the arrangements for many of the stations biggest shows. In
1972, following the success Arthur had with the production of Ivan
Lins 1971 album "Agora", Arthur recorded his self-titled debut
album on Continental Records. 'Arthur Verocai' challenged the
musical conventions of the day, combining Brazilian influences
with folksy soul and lo-fi electronic experimentations of American
artists like Shuggie Otis or the orchestration of producer Charles
Stepney.
