Johnny Alf is one of the former Brazilian composers to fuse Jazz into Brazilian music. His strong Jazz accent made him be honored as one of Bossa Nova founders, although he never received the correct credits and recognition by the mainstream.Alf is the Master of the altered chords and complex harmonies. Tom Jobim and Oscar de Castro Neves, for instance, were always close to the first Johnny Alf gigs in Rio de Janeiro to learn his new style of playing.
This is one of his best albums with a collection of such great standards and delicious jazz swinging sambas Alf classics. The album also features Helio Delmiro on acoustic guitar and the Vocal Trio Os Tres Morais.
