Alaide Costa - Coracao (1976)

Why should they let an album like this one goes out-of-print? A truly jewel from the mid 70's by Alaide Costa, one of the greatest Brazilian divas. Since the beginning, I had that felling that I was hearing something really out of the standard from a singer solo LP.

In spite of the great Alaide Costa performance and interpretation, the difference here is on the world-class team of Brazilian jazzman assembled to the set, as follows:

Personnel

Production
Milton Nascimento and Mariozinho Rocha

Arrangements and Conduction
Joao Donato

Joao Donato
(piano)
Novelli
(bass)
Robertinho Silva
(drums)
Nelson Angelo
(guitars)
Toninho Horta
(electric guitar)
Ivan Lins
(piano on track Corpos)
Joao Donato, Novelli, Nelson Angelo and Fernando Leporace
(backing vocals)
