Paquito D'Rivera, Claudio Roditi, Ralph Moore and Jay Ashby - Return to Ipanema (1989)

What a nice night! I'm writing this post just after the last video was released, so I do not have feedback so far about it, but I'm confident that people will have a lot to talk about it. As I said at tonight opening post, Caetano is in charge of the selections and this is to present Loronixers another Caetano's pick from this new series. Caetano's best quality is to identify gold were regular guys such like zecalouro can't see and this one is a real treat.

This is Paquito D'Rivera, Claudio Roditi, Ralph Moore and Jay Ashby - Return to Ipanema (1989), for Town Crier, featuring the great reunion of musicians you see on top. It was hard to define the name of this post. I would not like to identify Paquito D'Rivera as the main performer and also file this record as Various Artists. The best decision is take the name of four of them, such like Town Crier made at cover artwork. Caetano's posts are self-explanatory and this is the kind of record that nobody should miss.
