Laurindo Almeida - Acapulco 22 (1963)

Perhaps should be the temperature in Rio de Janeiro - 36 C / 96.8 F - that is making zecalouro going nuts jeopardizing the row and picking up LPs with girls on covers.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with him. Who cares, since he is making available a rare out of print Laurindo Almeida LP from 1963, Acapulco 22.

I've been wondering how many more LPs like this were released in Brazil and by Brazilian artists overseas in these Loronix golden decades? This LP was release during Laurindo years in US and mixes samba with America Jazz. Tracks includes:

01 - Hava Nagila
02 - Acapulco 22
03 - Misirlou
04 - Lisbon Antigua
05 - Desafinado
06 - More
07 - Till Then
08 - Satin Doll
09 - I Left My Heart in San Francisco
10 - What Kind of Fool Am I
