Edison Machado Quarteto - Obras (1970)

Keep rolling the instrumentals LP from the past; zecalouro introduces now a rare Edison Machado LP, Edison Machado Quarteto - Obras (1970). Edison Machado is one of the greatest Brazilian drummers of the 60's. This LP mixes Bossa Nova, Samba, and Jazz on a wonderful way with sax, bass, piano and - for sure - drums on foreground.

Some weeks ago a Loronix said here that Edison Machado is the only Brazilian drummer who knowns how to play Samba and this LP comes to make this statement a real truth. Tracks include Bonfa, Jobim, Donato, Gisllespie and Ion Muniz compositions.

Edison Machado Quartet is: Edison Machado (drums), Alfredo Cardim (piano), Ion Muniz (sax & Flute), Ricardo (bass) and the special guest for this set, Wheads Brito da Fonseca (guitar).
