And on the east coast, Deodato was the man.
She also pointed out that percussionists/drummers were especially in high demand in the US, like Airto Moreira, Dom Um Romão, Naná Vasconcelos, & Ivan Conti.
Over the past year have been thinking about all the Brazilian jazz musicians who relocated to LA & NYC, esp. in the 60s & 70s. After a show last night i happened to meet a woman who just wrote her dissertation about it. She said that Sergio Mendes was key to several musicians relocating to LA.

Cabral & Kiko in their work uniforms
She did maybe 3 songs solo, but was joined by Cabral & Theo Cecato for the rest of it, Kiko on maybe 5-6 songs, & Jonnata Doll the last 3-4.
Tonight was my tenth time seeing Kiko & Cabral play since ‘23. Didn’t take long - those guys gig a lot.
