Conjunto Epoca de Ouro - Conjunto Epoca de Ouro Interpreta Pixinguinha e Benedito Lacerda (1977)

Hello, good evening! Conjunto Epoca de Ouro always delivers solid records and wonderful music. It seems to be impossible for these guys to make a single bellow the average album, even if they try to make it. This is Conjunto Epoca de Ouro from the 70's with Deo Rian, instead of the legendary Jacob do Bandolim, but with all the greatest choroes, such like: Dino Sete Cordas, Cezar Faria, Damasio and several special legends this time, delivering a really unique tribute to Pixinguinha and Benedito Lacerda. Let's see.

This is Conjunto Epoca de Ouro - Conjunto Epoca de Ouro Interpreta Pixinguinha e Benedito Lacerda (1977), for Continental, a tribute album with Conjunto Epoca de Ouro performing Choro tunes and some other Pixinguinha and Benedito Lacerda compositions. As I said, this is a different album, since most of the compositions does not formally belongs to the Choro genre. The results are great, Conjunto Epoca de Ouro has the help of sax, accordion, flute, clarinet and a rhythm section, in charge of top notch musicians, as described on personnel listing.
