I was missing Caetano Rodrigues rarities from the 60's, the impossible to find and never heard before LPs. It is really exciting to hear something old, rare and unique for the fist time from an artist that you have only heard about. Thanks Caetano for another nice release. I took this one for a hearing and had a lot of fun with zecalouro today. Let's check together.This is Izio Gross e Seu Conjunto - Isto e Bossa (60's), for Mocambo.

Some infos on the one of the most underrated pianist/arrangers I can think of.
Since a few decades - and despite various sojourns in South Africa - Izio lives in Frankfurt (Germany).
In Europe and in the last 20 years Izio worked a lot with Dom Um Romao and - Uruguayan (?) - tenor-sax player Wilson "Gigi" d'Oliveira - among many many other "giants".
Thank you.
I just discovered Izio on a cd made in Germany in 1993 and called 'Big Apple 42nd Street'
Great pianist and pleased to get this one here.
