Eddie Harris - Bossa Nova (1963)

Here we go with the International Bossa Nova, by Caetano Rodrigues. This is really the most exciting and unpredictable post of the day, which is not the case of this one, I'm sure this album will hit the ceiling making the happiness of several friends. Let's see another Caetano's treasure.

This is Eddie Harris - Bossa Nova (1963), for Vee-Jey, featuring the sax tenor of Eddie Harris, the piano of Lalo Schifrin and many others. This is not one of those warm albums released in response of the Bossa Nova boom in the early 60's. It is music for grownups, which will take you by surprise, making you listening to it several times. Tracks include:

Yes, very good album! I never had the LP, but this was released on CD under Lalo Schifrin's name (titled "Bossa Nova Groove") on the spanish label Ubatuqui. Another LP was also included on the CD, an Audio Fidelity LP titled "Bossa Nova- New Brazilian Jazz".

Great band... Jimmy Raney is one of my heroes.
