about

From the original liner notes by Scott Feiner:

"Chiclete com Banana" is the only tune on the record by a Brazilian composer. A classic, with the two most famous versions by Jackson do Pandeiro and Gilberto Gil. Ours is an instrumental version, but the original lyrics speak of the mixing of North American and Brazilian music: “I’ll only put be-bop in my samba when Uncle Sam learns to play the tambourine”. With that message present in the lyrics, I thought it would be humorous to include it on the album. The arrangement is Freddie’s, and he did exactly what the song speaks of, weaving be-bop lines throughout this samba. Joe surprised us all by de-tuning his E string down to a D-flat at the end of the song to emulate a Brazilian surdo drum, while Joel imitates a "cuíca" on his tenor. Just wonderful spontaneity by both of them.
