You probably never realised that the Beatles, Bach
and Bacharach wrote some marvellous Bossa Novas! Mind
you, they didn't sound quite like Bossas when first
performed, although some of them very nearly did. But
all the titles we chose for this album were, potentially
at least, great Bossa Novas. Alan Moorhouse, who created
these very special arrangements, and directed the
hand-picked musicians who played them, described this
set as "Happy Bossa". After all, he said, the Brazilians
who started it all were happy, carefree people, and when
they played their original Bossa rhythms, all they were
thinking of was a good time! Alan and I chose three Bach,
four Beatles and five Bacharach compositions. Two of the
Bach pieces must be very well known to you already. Air
on a G string accompanied a very famous tobacco commercial
on T.V. Minuet in G has already had a taste of honey as a
smash hit called "Lover's Concerto" by The Toys. Musette
in D may be new to you at first hearing, but you'll be
surprised how catchy it becomes.
The four Beatles numbers (including George Harrison's
Something) are already well known to you, but they sound
really fresh and inviting in their smart new Brazilian style.
As for Bacharach, a great number of his compositions could
actually have been written just for this album. We've chosen
Trains & boats & planes, Do you know the way to San _Jose,
This guy's in love, never fall in love again and I soy a
little prayer. Alan has presented these famous songs in a
number of refreshing new ways—mixing flute, flugelhorn and
a girl's voice to produce a beautifully mellow, haunting
sound ; tenor sax improvising gently round the main theme;
electric harpsichord lending a new and unusual timbre rarely
heard in this context; and, of course, a full, driving rhythm
section that keeps your feet tapping. So, if your party ever
looks like sagginob in the middle, switch on to the Beatles,
Bach &Bacharach in Bossa Beat and give the party a swingin'
new lease of life!
