Among the several wonderful Bossa Nova LPs that Caetano sent to Loronixers last week, I'm picking up this amazing and obscure instrumental Bossa Jazz LP, which is Joao and His Bossa Kings - Cool Samba (196?), for Battle - USA, I'm wondering if Battle gave this name "Joao" to this release to cheat people and make everybody think it was a Joao Gilberto release.Actually Joao is the mighty Brazilian sax player JT Meirelles that made this LP to Battle full of short instrumental tracks that does not least more than two minutes each. JT Meirelles (alto sax and flute) has the accompaniment of Silvio Lopez (trumpet), Antonio Oliveira (piano), Manoel Gusniao (bass), Jayme Storino (drums) and Amauri Rodrigues (percussion). Tracks include:
01 - So Danco Samba
02 - Samba Sem Nome
03 - Se Teus Olhos Falassem
04 - Batucada
05 - Conselho a Quem Quiser
06 - Solucao
07 - Carnival Meddley
08 - Gostoso e Sambar
09 - Nacao Nago
10 - Samba Toff
11 - Essa Neguinha sem Sandalia
12 - Ilha do Amor
13 - Ritmos Carnivalescos Improvisatos
