O’s Notes: The late Brazilian trombonist Raul De Souza “Raulzinho” had a glorious career spanning six decades! His last album Plenitude, recorded with his young Generations Band, mixes funk, jazz and samba. We enjoyed “Naña”, packed with invigorating solos around the horn, De Souza’s fine trombone work on “Nethina Aura”, and the funky vibe on fresh arrangements of “Daisy Mae” and “Sweet Lucy”.
