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)
12 - Zelão (Sergio Ricardo)

Ótima pedida!
Vai já já pra capa do meu LP!
O Disco já tinha dado o que podia dar. Nem ele sabe mais por quais picapes, eletrolas e até victrolas passou. Quantas agulhas rombudas enfrentou galhardamente, aguentando o peso de inúmeras gramas além de sua capacidade.
Valeu Zeca!

Tracks 9 and 12 were misnamed in this post of "Os Bossa Três (1963)". Track 9 is Sergio Ricardo's well known "Zelão". Track 12 should be "Somebody Loves Me", as other tracks seem to be correct.

Lennie Dale did not appear on the Ed Sullivan show with the Bossa Tres. It was one of Sullivan's "international"programs and Dale was considered an American. The trio appeared with two dancers. I know this as fact because I was on of the people responsible for bringing the troupe to the US.
