Baden Powell - Baden Powell Swings with Jimmy Pratt (1963)

This is one of the greatest Baden Powell LPs of the 60's, Baden Powell Swings with Jimmy Pratt. This is a short set with less than 30 minutes, with the accompaniment of Copinha (flute), Moacir Santos (sax and vocals), Sandoval (clarinet), Sergio Barroso (bass), Jimmy Pratt (drums) and Rubens Bassini (percussion). The piano player is not credit.

The arrangements are unusual for a Baden album, featuring a lot of flute and oboe lines on all tracks. The outcome is a breezy Jazz album mixed with Bossa.

    Olá muitas mãos.

    Obrigado.

    Sugiro que você vá até ao YouTube, provavelmente você encontrará diversos vídeos do Baden Powell e de Bossa Nova. Eu mesmo já postei alguns vídeos do Joao Gilberto.
