Os Saxsambistas Brasileiros - Saxsambando (1960)

I'm in doubt if Os Saxsambistas Brasileiros is a Brazilian instrumental band or an orchestra, but it is a real musical task force. This LP, Saxsambando is their 1960 debut. I have no additional info about them, but they have released another three LPs that are really hard to find and are really appreciated among brass players and Brazilian music fans and collectors. Personnel and track list are included, as follow:
