Lee Ritenour_Joao Bosco_Cocoanut Grove_

Filmed in Los Angeles in 1990, the complete Live at the Cocoanut Grove will do nothing to alter indifference from jazz purists toward fusion guitarist Lee Ritenour. But hardcore Rit fans and other viewers without a jazz-pop ax to grind will find this concert a particularly stimulating, wonderfully textured musical event built around the star and a parade of international talent.

Highlights abound, including a few streamlined numbers featuring Ritenour and his core band, the best of which include the former's solo work on his composition "Up-Town" and bassist Brian Bomberg's complex contributions to "24th Street Blues." The guitar-and-vocals duo Tuck & Patti provide a stylistic spine to the second set of the night, joining the band for three tunes, including a rousing finish on "Everything's Gonna Be Alright." Brazilian composer, guitarist, and singer Joao Bosco is another triple threat, his early appearance for a dreamy, solo take on the bossa nova "Pret-a-Porter de Tafeta" being a real jewel here, and nicely followed by collaborations with Rit and band on "Odile, Odila" and "Latin Lover." Vocalist Phil Perry proves ubiquitous throughout the first half of the show, bringing loads of personality to an excellent cover of "Harlequin" and "Asa," the latter also goosed by strong guitar work from guest Steve Lukather. Bob James helps close the shop by coming 'round for late-evening performances of his "Restoration" and "Westchester Lady." From top to bottom, this is a pleasant, pleasurable entry in the Ritenour canon, though the uninitiated will find plenty to enjoy, too. --Tom Keogh

Hi, Poker1face and All, in fact Chico Buarque has performed this song but it has really been composed by Joao Bosco and Aldir Blanc as it was first published in the excellent album Galos de Briga (1976). I don´t really know why they called it "Latin Lover", maybe it was shorter.... Thank you everybody for your audience and comments ! ! !

[almatazz]

Congrats, man! I'm brasilian and i love this songs!!! But this is the first time that i see this show! So beatiful, fantastic!!!!! Sorry my bad English... =P Thanks for this videos!!!

The song is titled "Latin Lover". I looked into Joao's web site for the "letra" and found the Latin Lover title but the lyrics are not near to what I hear. I do not speak portuguese but I do spanish and can pick a good amount of the words but Joao's portuguese is very tough to pick. He, together with Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Ivan Lins and Elis Regina (RIP) are my favorite brazilian performers. These brazilians can sure create the best music. Brasil is a blessed country.

@chironjo you're welcome. Incompatibilidade de Gênios is one of the most perfect arrangements of João Bosco and the also well humoured spirit of the lyrics (from Aldir Blanc, former long time partner) is equally great. Incompatibilidade de Gênios could be, more or less, translated to Temper Incompatibility.

[chironjo]

@terrau Thanks. As you see from the rest of the comments the confussion came from the album editors themselves which used the wrong song name. ANyways, the song is a masterpiece. Has many of those complex brazilian music chords progression (I am an amateur guitar player; sort of a wannabe; LOL) and a very difficult portuguese accent to follow.

[terrau]

@chironjo this is not Latin Lover. This is Incompatibilidade de Génios. Latin Lover is a much different song.
