Zimbo Trio e Sonny Stitt - Sonny Stitt in Brazil with the Zimbo Trio (1979)

There is something interesting about Zimbo Trio, they have recorded more than 40 albums on their long career, always playing Brazilian music exclusively. The only exception to this, is this record with the American Jazz musician Sonny Stitt, recorded in Brazil when Zimbo Trio was backing Sonny Stitt on a South America tour.

Sonny Stitt in Brazil with the Zimbo Trio LP was for years a collectors item, since it was released only in Brazil. A CD reissue was released several years ago on CD, going out of print. Tracks include:

01 - Hope's Blues (Stitt)
02 - Corcovado (Tom Jobim)
03 - There you will never be another you (Warren - Gordon)
04 - Little Sued Shoes (C Parker)
05 - Autumm Leaves (Parsons - J.Prever - J.Kosma - Mercer)
06 - Samba do Orfeu (Antonio Maria - Luis Bonfa)
07 - Blues for Gaby (Stitt)

This record was sent to zecalouro by Jonh Lester, a Loronix friend that runs an wonderful Jazz Blog that you should not miss for nothing, Jazzseen.
