Maria Creuza - Sessao Nostalgia (1974)

Our friend Justin says as a mantra: "RCA Victor mid 70's releases are killer". Justin, I think you are right, RCA Victor delivers top-notch resources to most of the artists that recorded there during this period. Maria Creuza is a perfect example; she has more than a few releases for RCA Victor in the 70's. I did not give much attention to Justin mantra and now I admit that I wasting time. Thanks Justin and make yourself ready for another great session at RCA Victor studios in Brazil.

This is Maria Creuza - Sessao Nostalgia (1974), for RCA Victor. It is really very hard to resist to the sweet voice of Maria Creuza and RCA Victor production. Sessao Nostalgia has a nice repertoire selection based on tunes tunes from the 60's, two compositions by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes and nice songs from Cartola, Nelson Cavaquinho, Noel Rosa, Lupiscinio Rodrigues, among others. The team of arrangers and personnel listing is a must. Tracks include:
