Флейтист-альт-саксофонист Bud Shank и бразильский гитарист Laurindo Almeida познакомились ещё в 50-е годы, но лишь в 1974 г., наконец, сформировали группу. Музыка - очень любопытный симбиоз джазовых стилей с явным бразильским уклоном.
L.A. 4
Altoist/flutist Bud Shank and Brazilian acoustic guitarist Laurindo Almeida first teamed up in the 1950s to create music that predated but strongly hinted at bossa nova. In 1974, they reunited to form the L.A. Four with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Chuck Flores. With Shelly Manne and later Jeff Hamilton replacing Flores on drums, the L.A. Four recorded eight albums for Concord through 1982, breaking up shortly afterward. Their mixture of cool-toned bop, Brazilian-oriented music, and ballads was quite attractive.
