Raul de Souza (born August 23, 1934, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a renowned trombonist who has recorded with Sergio Mendez, Flora Purim, Airto Moreira, Milton Nascimento, Sonny Rollins, Cal Tjader and the jazz/fusion band Caldera.[1]
American composer and pianist George Duke, was brought in to produce de Souza's first and second releases Sweet Lucy and Don't Ask My Neighbors. In 1979, Souza released 'Til Tomorrow Comes, an Arthur Wright production. The recording was completely devoid of any jazz, and was an effort to jump aboard the disco bandwagon. The album was poorly received and it was his last for Capitol, after which he faded into obscurity.
Colors is available on CD as part of the Original Jazz Classics series from Fantasy Records.
