Claudette Soares - E Dona da Bossa (1964)

It was very hard to choose the best post of this Saturday. Really. It took me a lot of time to decide what sould be the best pick. I will not tell the others to do not spoil the surprise on further posts, they were all great and could be here easily.

For several reasons, the decision was Claudette Soares - E Dona da Bossa (1964), for the legendary label Mocambo. I took hours thinking to decide and now I'm having troubles on writing about this release. Anyway, perhaps it is another self-explanatory, full of classic Bossa Nova tunes, such as: Garota de Ipanema, Tristeza de Nos Dois and Samba do Aviao. Tracks include:

01 - Pra Que Chorar (Vinicius de Moraes / Baden Powell)
02 - Azul Contente (Tereza Souza / Walter Santos)
03 - Samba do Avião (Tom Jobim)
04 - Sem Você (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
05 - Ah Se Eu Pudesse (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
06 - Tristeza de Nós Dois (Durval Ferreira / Bebeto / Maurício Einhorn)
07 - Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
08 - Samba Só (Walter Santos / Tereza Souza)
09 - Crediário do Amor (Theo de Barros)
10 - Bossa na Praia (Pery Ribeiro / Geraldo Cunha)
11 - Evolução (Pery Ribeiro / Geraldo Cunha)
12 - Conselho a Quem Quiser Voltar (Silvio César)
