Caetano sent this record with all other wonderful ones to out Tom Jobim Tribute. Caetano, this is something that you cannot do with a friend. I had to make the Tribute, big rush, working hard to be with everything ready on time and this wonderful piece starring at me and saying: "Caetano sent me just to make you mad...". The tribute is over and today I could appreciate it, as this record deserves. Thanks Caetano, very wise to put this one in the middle.This is Bobby Hackett and Billy Butterfield - Bobby / Billy / Brasil (1967), for Verve, featuring the voice and the acoustic guitar of Luiz Henrique and the voice and accordion of Sivuca. Bobby Hackett and Billy Butterfield are trumpet players. The magic of this recording session is indeed Luiz Henrique rhythm guitar and the eventual accordion of Sivuca that also uses his voice as an instrument on a unique way. It is also amazing that Bobby, Billy, Brazil, released in 1967, never had the chance to be reissued on CD, I'm happy that Caetano is my great friend to reveal such things to Loronixers. Tracks include:
01 - Dancing in The Dark
02 - Sunny
03 - Cherokee
04 - Quiet Nights
05 - Never Ever Leave me (Nunca me Deixes)
06 - Baia
07 - That's All
08 - Love is Here to Stay
09 - Dawm Comes Again
10 - Foggy Day
11 - Brasil

Thanks- this is a very enjoyable recording, must be among the best Musica Brasileira playing by American Jazzmen, not least "Na Baixa do Sapateiro"
