Os Bossa Tres - Os Bossa Tres (1963)

It happened again, I was looking at the old posts for a nice record of the legendary Bossa Tres trio to make a repost to new Loronixers. The great surprise is that I could not find their debut LP and this is a wonderful surprise, instead of a repost, we have a brand new LP, never shown to Loronixers before.

This is Os Bossa Tres - Os Bossa Tres (1963), for Audio Fidelity, their debut LP, featuring what is considered their best formation with Luiz Carlos Vinhas (piano), Tiao Neto (bass) and Edison Machado (drums). Bossa Tres was formed in 1961 and is known as the first instrumental Bossa Nova trio. Every day we learn something new at Loronix, I just read that Bossa Tres performed with Lennie Dale in the Ed Sulivan Show, years before Beatles presentation at the same show when they conquered the US. Tracks include:

01 - Blues Walk (C. Brown)
02 - Céu e Mar (Johnny Alf)
03 - Green Dolphin Street (Washington / Kaper)
04 - Menina Feia (Oscar Castro Neves)
05 - Sol e Chuva (D. Payne)
06 - Olhou Pra Mim (Ed Lincoln)
07 - Tema Bossa Três (Tião Neto)
08 - Não Faz Assim (Oscar Castro Neves)
09 - Somebody Loves Me (George Gershwin)
10 - Só Saudade (Tom Jobim)
11 - Influência do Jazz (Carlos Lyra)
