I spoke with Caetano about an hour ago and I forgot to get his always-useful briefing on this LP, so I'm making zecalouro's first impressions on it. Once again, Caetano sent to us a truly obscure LP that makes you run to Google additional information. Let's see how it goes.This is Roy Budd - Buddin' Bossa (1970), for NSPL, international late Bossa Nova by the pianist Roy Buddy. It seems that Roy Budd understands the Bossa Nova business. He spent several holidays in Brazil and simply adores Brazilian Music and Buddin' Bossa is considered the album that Roy Budd wanted to make all of his life. He was so confident that you will see at back cover a Budd statement saying that Buddin' Bossa is the best Bossa Nova LP recorded outside Brazil and this record was not released in 1970, a time that several others excellent records in the same style were already released. I think this LP will be a treat to several Loronixers. Tracks include:

Is this the same Roy Budd from the U.K. ? The soundtrack composer?
Now,
That's right. This is the same soundtrack composer from the UK. Roy Budd.
Cheers, zeca
The label looks like "Pye". Look up in that corner again.
Great album! Thanks :)

Thanks for this album!
Thanks for this album! Much Love zecalouro!
Belated thanks for this surprise! This is a far cry from "Get Carter" but is quite interesting. British bossa? Wow! Also I think his rather immodest liner notes are hilarious....Cheers
Roy was always fascinated by the Bossa Nova, and we had shared our albums of the genera many times. I was supposed to have played guitar on this record, but I was unfortunately out of town at the time that it was recorded. My wife Kitty (Kathryn A Budd) did the back cover drawing, but Roy forgot to put her name on the cover. I have many recordings of Roy playing jazz, and have some old recordings of Roy when he was six years old. It is wonderful that his music lives on.
