Luiz Eca - Antologia do Piano (1976)

I sent this LP for a test drive to a friend he like it very much, not any given friend, but a serious fan of Luiz Eca. After this experience, I did not make it at Loronix and just forget to share. In the couple of days, some signals were sent to zecalouro to remind it. Caetano Rodrigues spoke about it, a couple of days ago and yesterday I received a wonderful gift from a friend, which I'm making available just a piece of it as a music video at the end of this post. Videos of Luiz Eca performances are really hard to find and I'm happy to have one to show Loronixers.

This is Luiz Eca - Antologia do Piano (1976), for Philips, an instrumental piano only LP with Luiz Eca renditions to Brazilian standards, directed by Roberto Menescal.

The video is an excerpt of Luiz Eca concert for Jazz Brasil, TV Cultura (1991) as a trio featuring Luiz Eca (piano), Luiz Alves (bass) and Lilian Carmona (drums) performing The Dolphin (Luiz Eca). Tracks include:
