This was during a period when I was producing Brazil '66 records and got infected by Brazilian music.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

Mexican Shuffle was a turning point of the Brass.

The trumpet was not a lyrical singing instrument.

When I finish an album and I find myself listening to it in the car, because it makes me feel a certain way, that's the time to try to let other people know about it.

I'm an old-timer in the business from the sense that when you do something that you feel good about there might be another person out there who feels the same way, or a hundred or a couple million.

I like to listen to classical music... I like mainline jazz.

He has a method that likens the musician to an athlete, so I do physical exercises designed to keep a musician in shape in order to perform the function, which is to play music.

I like to listed to the adventurous guys - the Coltranes, Miles Davis, the guys who just let it loose.

You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.

I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit.

It's - as opposed to tape where you have a magnetic tape that's excited by frequencies that you hit, digital was a process where musical sounds are transferred to numbers and stored as numbers.

I practice every day. I've been doing it since I was eight.

I find that it's nice to work with somebody and spin off on someone else's feelings. You get a little jaded by yourself.

I'm sure I'll go back again and record in the digital process.

Although there was a point with the Tijuana Brass where we were playing for such huge crowds that I kind of lost contact. At one point, the only connection I had with the audience was with people out there lighting cigarettes.

It's very clean. With tape, you get noise.

The reaction to this album has just been fabulous around the world... and I've had offers to perform from around the world and I'm tempted to do it. I've got itchy lips.

If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges... and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you're getting more of those on the record.

The Japanese seem to be a loyal audience.

There's something interesting about playing live; you're in the moment, and I think it would be beneficial.

We finally got our big break when Ed Sullivan put us on his show.

We always felt that if you do something with quality and integrity, then it's going to come back to you.

Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived.

Instrumental music can spread the international language.

Selfishly, I make music for me. I like to make music. I like looking for songs. I like working with interesting musicians. I like producing records. It's something I will always do.

I don't think radio is selling records like they used to. They'd hawk the song and hawk the artist and you'd get so excited, you'd stop your car and go into the nearest record store.

This was during a period when I was producing Brazil '66 records and got infected by Brazilian music.

I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play.

If you look around Brazil you see pregnant women everywhere. Here you don't see that as much. There the only thing they do is babies, babies, babies! Especially the poor families.

Brazil - they're so good it's like they are running round the pitch playing with themselves.

No, I worked a lot for European television, doing documentaries in Brazil.

In '82 Brazil showed that you can't win the World Cup without a solid defense.

Also, there are now new laws in Brazil which create incentives for Argentine and Latin American films to be premiered and distributed in Brazil and vice versa.

Four years ago maybe we thought we were inferior to Brazil, subconsciously we didn't see ourselves beating them. Now we believe in ourselves, we can be on the pitch with any team in the world and think we can win.

You can eliminate, for example, a Brazil nut gene if you know that it will create an allergenic effect.

I based in Brazil, Sao Paulo, but I come very often to the states, and I travel all over the world.

Because of my Portuguese heritage, I have an interest in all of the instrumentation that comes from Portugal and Brazil as well.

So when I was very young, I longed for Brazil.

So the books have a greater appeal to a British audience, but that hasn't stopped them making best-seller lists in places like Brazil, Japan and at least a dozen other countries.

Banks' beer. There's nothing like it! To Brazil. And to Barbados justice.

That makes me think of the 2002 World Cup Final above all else. Nobody thought at the time that our team would get through to the Final against Brazil. We should remember that this summer.

The Peruvian faces are completely different from that faces in Argentina and in Brazil.

Everybody likes Brazil and we want the Brazilians to come out.

And my generation in Brazil was influenced by Cinema Novo. So we're echoing what's been done way in the past.

I'd like to go to Brazil I think. Do a little South America trip.

The match against Brazil was football at its best. Both sides had opportunities to win the game.

So I feel a responsibility to help first-time film-makers in Brazil, but also to increase the dialogue between film cultures which are really wonderful and so much closer to us than what we do see on our screens.

I come from Brazil, which is a Portuguese speaking part of the continent.
