TTK, I'll have to go through and check. After Lani Hall left the group for sure. I guess late 70s, maybe 80s.

This LA Times obit says that he was with Sergio Mendes for ten years. I had no idea it was that long.

I think he joined somewhere around "Crystal Illusion," and then stayed on through the Brasil '77 albums.

I just love his duo album with John Klemmer ....

WKCR is playing a mini-marathon of his music on their great "Soul Of Brazil" program right now.

I put on Brazilian Days yesterday with Paul Winter. What a wonderful and melodic album this is.
