Jair Rodrigues - Jair (1967)

I have been skipping this album every Saturday. I always thought Loronix had several Jair Rodrigues albums and I decided to check today how many are available and I could Find It only four albums. Jair Rodrigues is really appreciated, deserving a better coverage at Loronix. He released more than 30 LPs on a career that started in the early 60's and spans decades. By the way, today is Saturday and it is Samba time at Loronix. Let's see.

This is Jair Rodrigues - Jair (1967), for Philips, released just after a very successful series of three albums recorded with Elis Regina, Dois Na Bossa volumes 1, 2 and 3. Jair (1967) never had a CD reissue and little I know about it, Philips did not credit musicians and arrangers. Tracks include:
