Joe Pass and Paulinho da Costa - Tudo Bem! (1978)

There is a story behind this post. First, it is a really awaited post, especially for the friends who visits and share ideas with CBox. Second, I need to give credits for two contributors, Caetano Rodrigues, which is the friend who sent this perfect copy to Loronixers, second, Cesar Saldanha, who sent first, but I did not make it since this record was on Caetano list of future contributions. Thanks Cesar. Thanks Caetano.

This is Joe Pass & Paulinho da Costa- Tudo Bem! (1978), for Original Jazz Classics, the Bossa Nova / Brazilian music tribute of the legendary guitarist Joe Pass, featuring renowned Brazilian musicians, such as Oscar Castro Neves, Paulinho da Costa and others. Tudo Bem! is a infectious record, with sweet solos, very different from earlier Joe Pass albums. We have been speaking a lot about this record and now it is time to hear and share our thoughts about it. Tracks include:
