Lee Ritenour & Dave Grusin

'BRASIL' is a bracing survey of contemporary Brazilian sounds featuring some of that country's most notable young musicians.

Also spotlighted are the talents of Swiss born harmonica ace Gregoire Maret and Brazilian vocalist and composer Ivan Lins, whose album, 'Harlequin', with Ritenour and Grusin won a GRAMMY Award in 1986. Ritenour and Grusin have made an indelible mark in the music industry. With the release of 'BRASIL', they continue to exemplify how their longevity and success is tribute to their ability to stay on the pulse of the music scene today. "Brazilian music continues to permeate the world," Lee observes. "So, now was the right time and inspiration to go to Brazil and do this recording." And their musical magic continues!
