I Love Brazil! is a 1977 studio album by Sarah Vaughan, accompanied by prominent Brazilian musicians Milton Nascimento, Dori Caymmi and Antônio Carlos Jobim.

Contents

This was Vaughan's first album of bossa nova/MPB, it was followed by Copacabana (1979), and Brazilian Romance (1987). It was also her first album for Pablo Records.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album two and a half stars and said that Vaughan's voice was "still in tremendous form" but "few of the performances are all that memorable...this set is really more for fans of contemporary Brazilian music than for jazz collectors".

The album garnered a Grammy nomination.
