DETROIT DISC - Beatles songs get a Brazilian beat. Detroit Free Press Sunday April 6, 2003. By staff writer Terry Lawson December 14, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Beatles weren't entirely resistant to Latin rhythms - the popular ballad "And I Love Her" and a cover of the show tune "Till There Was You" were semi-sambas, and the gawdawful arrangement of the R&B plea "Mister Moonlight" was cha-cha by way of Chuck Berry. But while Beatles songs has been jazzed up, countrified, even classically modified, Brazil and Beyond is one of the only groups to have adapted some of the world's best-known songs to Tropicala.
Led by bassist Rich K, B&B, which include guitarist Frank Marinello, drummer Rob Emanuel and percussionist Dennis Sheridan, has been mixing Beatles (and Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter) tunes into it's sets of Brazilian standards during Friday and Saturday gigs at Dearborn's Big Fish. This album shows how cleverly they have been adapted and also proves the band's mastery of Brazilian styles.
"Eleanor Rigby" actually sounds fresh in its samba arrangement, while Rich K uses a Brazilian cavaquinho to plant the beat to opener "Day Tripper" and the ballad "This Boy," performed as a choro. The disc's most enduring treat may be an afoxe approach to "Come Together" in which Sheridan addresses the melody on the berimbau, a tonal percussion instrument normally used to add exotic flavor. The overall flavor here is as lush as a rain forest.
