The late great Brazilian master percussionist Dom Um Romão’s self-titled 1974 album on Muse. Having worked with anyone from Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett to Jorge Ben, Sergio Mendes and Tom Jobim, Dom Um was a key member of legendary jazzrock fusion super group Weather Report when he recorded his second album in 1974. Boasting an all-star line-up that includes the great Stanley Clarke on bass, Dom Salvador on piano, João Donato on Harpsichord and Sivuca on assorted instruments this album represents the great Dom Um at the peak of his awesome powers, laying down anything from slick psychedelic fusion (‘Dom’s Tune’) to full-on batucada (‘Braun Blek Blu’) in his own unsurpassed style.
