Encore by Arthur Verocai Featuring Azymuth & Ivan Lins, released on Far Out Recordings in 2007.

"After decades of cult reverence for his 1972 masterpiece, Arthur Verocai returned with Encore — an album that feels less like a comeback than a revelation.
Recorded in Rio with a dream ensemble including Azymuth and Ivan Lins, it bridges generations of Brazilian musicianship into a single, radiant expression.

Strings swirl with cinematic poise, horns breathe like dialogue, and Verocai’s arrangements glide between soul-jazz sophistication and Brazilian rhythmic intricacy. Tracks like “Bis,” “Filhos,” and “Daquele Jeito” glow with nostalgia and invention — the feeling of remembering something you’ve never heard before."

Saudade Demais by Arthur Verocai, self-released in 2002.

"...Reflecting on the album’s origins, Verocai shared his profound connection to bossa nova, the genre that shaped his artistic identity. “I am a child of bossa nova. I started playing guitar because my sister took lessons with Carlos Lyra. I began playing on my own, without a teacher or anything. I loved bossa nova. I also took lessons with Roberto Menescal. So, making this album was a way of returning to my roots. Bossa nova has always been close to me, even as I’ve explored jazz over the years,” Verocai explained. "
