Bossa Tres - Os Bossa Tres & Seus Amigos (1965)

This is the first out of several LPs that Caetano Rodrigues kindly sent to zecalouro today to release at Loronix. I spent myself today like a little kid locked at a chocolate factory, completely lost among several choices. Tomorrow, I will post on Loronix Forum a picture with the overall collection together. Since we are going through a series of posts, there is a new post icon to identify Caetano's contributions. I never get tired to thanks Caetano about his willing and sharing spirit.

Starting the first out of many, Caetano's pick for today is Bossa Tres - Os Bossa Tres e Seus Amigos (1965), for Audio Fidelity, the last recording of Bossa Tres with it's original line-up, which is Luiz Carlos Vinhas (piano), Edison Machado (drums) and Tiao Neto (bass). Bossa Tres has special guests to this session (amigos), they are Sonny Simmons (sax alto), Clifford Jordan (sax tenor and flauta) and Prince Lasha (flute).

I have never heard this LP and my first feeling is that we will have a lot to talk about it. Tracks include:

01 - Bottles (Luis Carlos Vinhas / Édison Machado / Tião Neto)
02 - Blue Monk (Thelonious Monk)
03 - Love For Sale (Cole Porter)
04 - Cuttie (Sonny Rollins)
05 - Moanin' (Timmons)
06 - Well You Needn't (Thelonious Monk)
07 - Dahoud (Luis Carlos Vinhas / Édison Machado / Tião Neto)
08 - Epistle To Train (P. Lasha / S. Simmons)
09 - Days Of Wine And Roses (Henry Mancini / J. Mercer)
10 - Whisper Not (Golson)
11 - Yesterdays (J. Kern / O. Harbach)
12 - Minortory (G. Gryce)
