The bossanovadreamer, official Loronix sax consultant, will be very happy with this LP, perhaps The Jazzman, also. I'm only a little disappointed to do not have the original cover issued in 1962, only this one, reissued a couple of years before. Anyway it is a great record that you will hear several times. Don't let the "Bolero" title cheats you if you do not appreciates the genre, this is just another awesome Moacyr Silva sax LP.This is Moacyr Silva e Seu Conjunto - E Tempo de Bolero (1962), for Copacabana, a selection of twelve International standards renditions by Moacyr Silva e Seu Conjunto, featuring Moacyr Silva (sax), Chaim Lewak (piano), Edson (drums) and Luis Marinho (bass). As you read, Chaim Lewak, the pianist from Quarteto Nostalgia LP, is a member of Moacyr Silva's Conjunto and also makes the difference here. I'm not sure about the drummer, credited as Edson. By the playing style, it is probably the legendary Edison Machado. Anyway, pretty self-explanatory, Moacyr Silva seems to be one of those artists that are unable of deliver a bad record. Tracks include:

Hello, The Jazzman!
I do not use to put my personal opinions very often, but it has been impossible to resist, the last posts were been truly awe.
This LP will not let you down.
Cheers, zeca
This is an album that needs some accompaniment. You will need a bottle of wine, a late night dinner, your best girfriend, wife, mistress or what-have-you. The lights have to be low. Preferrably you are in Rio and not in the cold north of the U.S.A. Now when you have all of those things together you can play and enjoy this album. As an alternative you can always close your eyes and wish for all those things.
