Although zecalouro lives around guitars and basses, it is a false statement to say that zecalouro he is a musician. If you are beginning your career as a musician, take care of records like this Brazilian Soul, with Laurindo Almeida and Charlie Byrd (1981).Stay away if you don't want to listen to music that your will never be good enough to reach their level of playing, big issue for zecalouro.
Run to the cashier if you are confident and want to listen to something that will be your reference for many years.
Brazilian Soul is the first release out of 4 between Laurindo Almeida and the legendary Charlie Byrd, making a quartet on this one with Bob Magnusson (bass) and Milt Holland (percussion). There are nice melodies and high quality guitar techniques that should be rewarding for musician and fans.
The set is full of Bossa Nova classics from Jobim and Brazilian classical pieces. The song Don't Cry for me Argentina closes the set and seems to be out of place, but works fine.
