Pery Ribeiro - Bronzes e Cristais (1976)

This should make the day of Caetano Rodrigues, Patricia Prado, bossanovadreamer, Mr. H, Loronixers and everybody who patiently waited for this release, no more a missing piece. I'm glad to have now a near mint vinyl, taken from a store on that "everything is One Real" shelf. Caetano strongly recommends this late Pery Ribeiro LP, although I'm not knowledgeable on his discography, I had a nice time hearing it. Let's see what we have here.

This is Pery Ribeiro - Bronzes e Cristais (1976), for Odeon, truly, one of the best Pery Ribeiro LPs from his pos-Bossa Nova age. Arranged by Maestro Gaya and Eduardo Souto Neto, Bronzes e Cristais also features renowned musicians such as Edson Frederico, Laercio de Freitas, Wilson das Neves, Geraldo Vespar, among others. This is one of the longest LPs I have ever seen with 42 minutes of music. Anyway, self-explanatory release that several friends were waiting. Tracks include:
