Scenes From Brazil

Three songs by Gary Ryan, reflecting everything from the '60s Jazz scene, to the jungle and Rio carnival.

Sugarloaf Mountain has a bossa-like rhythm harmonic references to Heitor Villa-Lobos. Junglescape uses unusual tuning and almost percussive techniques to bring the sounds of the jungle to life. Rio Bay (From The Corcovado) is a slower more melancholy work inspired by Sergio Assad, representing the view from the Corcovado mountain towers.
