Miltinho - Miltinho com o Sexteto Sideral | Um Novo Astro (1960)

Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. Sorry about that, I love Star Trek, this sentence is the introduction of each Star Trek episode and it is all about this, let's say, space album. I was looking for this upgrade for months and last week I could make the vinyl transfer of my dreams, including FLAC files and enhanced cover scans. This album features Baden Powell as sideman in a very early age and it is also Miltinho debut LP. Let's see.

This is Miltinho - Miltinho e O Sexteto Sideral | Um Novo Astro (1960), for Sideral, a record label that released less than a dozen albums, which I do not have any info about and would like to know more. Sexteto Sideral features a constellation of Brazilian musicians, in the spirit of this "space" LP and I'm not sure if the sextet was assembled only for this recording session or was also in other Sideral releases. Baden Powell delivers truly amazing guitar playing here, especially on track 12 - Eu e o Rio, where only Baden Powell violao and bass back Miltinho. Tracks include:
