Milton Banana Trio - O Trio (1968)

I received an email from a friend yesterday. He lives in the United States and is a great fan of Bossa Nova and Brazilian Music. He said that a couple of years ago he was in Rio and on a certain day he had the idea to reach Beco das Garrafas, the legendary tiny piece of street with those legendary nightclubs performing instrumental music every night. He said how exciting was to put his feet on that place that is nothing today, just a given street in Copacabana.

I hope someday people will make these places a spot to be visited and remember the memories of all those nights with the amazing music we love today that was performed live by those great artists. This post is homage to this friend and his sincere and beautiful love to the music from Brazil.
