Geraldo Trio - Bossa G (1963)

I told you, Caetano is in charge and he could not make it better starting with Radames Gnattali, preparing the field with the obscure and above the average Conjunto Newton and closing the day with a sought after LP by many Bossa Nova collectors, another of those albums that everybody look at Caetano's book guessing how it should be. Now it is time to check your expectations with the music, as it was recorded in 1963. Thanks once again Caetano for each album you show us.

This is Geraldo Trio - Bossa G (1963), for Chantecler. I never heard about a second album by Geraldo Trio or any other recording by Jose Geraldo, which is the full name of Geraldo Trio leader. Personnel information is not available and I don't have any evidence which instrument Geraldo plays on his trio. Geraldo wrote liner notes at back cover, but does not help much on adding more information. Tracks include:

01 - Bossa G (José Geraldo)
02 - Chora Tua Tristeza (Oscar Castro Neves / Luvercy Fiorini)
03 - Linda Flor (Ai Yoyô) (Henrique Vogeler / Marques Porto / Luis Peixoto)
04 - Carinhoso (Pixinguinha / João de Barro)
05 - Na Baixa do Sapateiro (Ary Barroso)
06 - Da Cor do Pecado (Bororó)
07 - Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
08 - O Que Eu Gosto de Você (Silvio César)
09 - Coqueiro Velho (José Marcílio / Fernandinho)
10 - Bossa na Praia (Pery Ribeiro / Geraldo Cunha)
11 - Brejeiro (Ernesto Nazareth)
12 - Bola de Gás (Ruy Fernando Barbosa)
