Montreaux 1979. Hermeto Pascoal, the wizard, steals 15 minutes of standing ovation after his exuberant performance at the festival. Next up is Elis Regina, who, although very much appreciated by the audience, cannot perform with the same deep passion and engagement.
Hermeto one, zero. After all, he was playing at home, jazz.
And then the best part, a grand surprise finale, the two pushed onto the stage together, voice and piano, and Hermeto dazzles us with his sophisticated chord arrangements as he plays with some classics of Brazilian music.
And Elis? Elis... just watch and listen.
