Glucklich VI – A Collection Of Brazilian Flavours From The Past & The Present Compiled by Rainer Truby

Back in the late 90s, new volumes in Rainer Truby’s Brazilian music-themed Glucklich series appeared on a frequent basis. Astonishingly, almost two decades have passed since the last one, making this belated sixth instalment long overdue. Predictably, Truby has delivered a a humid, life-affirming summer breeze of a collection full to bursting with tracks that blur the boundaries between samba, MPB, South American soul-jazz, pop, jazz-funk and smooth grooves. Highlights are plentiful, with our picks including the Terry Callier-goes-to-Brazil brilliance of Jon Lucien’s ‘Come With Me To Rio’, the jaunty samba shuffle of Guillermo Reuter’s ‘Mr Jenkins, the dubbed-out downtempo gorgeousness of Debbie Cameron and Richard Boone’s ‘Stop Fooling Around’, and A Bossa Electrica’s fine Portuguese cover of Roy Ayers’ ‘Everybody Loves The Sunshine’ (‘Sob A Luz Du Sol’).
