This was during a period when I was producing Brazil '66 records and got infected by Brazilian music.
Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived.
We finally got our big break when Ed Sullivan put us on his show.
Instrumental music can spread the international language.
The reaction to this album has just been fabulous around the world... and I've had offers to perform from around the world and I'm tempted to do it. I've got itchy lips.
If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges... and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you're getting more of those on the record.
I'm an old-timer in the business from the sense that when you do something that you feel good about there might be another person out there who feels the same way, or a hundred or a couple million.
You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.
