Zimbo Trio - Aquarela do Brasil (1993)

What more can we say about Zimbo Trio? These guys are flawless, they cannot make a bad album, even if they try to do that. No matter if it was released in the 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's they keep the pace, delivering excellence on arrangements, performances and nice re-harmonizations of well known tunes. Aquarela do Brasil was first issued in 1993 and they perform with the same energy and happiness as their first 60's LP.

This is Zimbo Trio - Aquarela do Brasil (1993), for Jazz Hour and issued in Brazil by Musiplay. Aquarela do Brasil is an album of the CD age, so we have noise free music and extended duration, approximately one hour of renditions to Bossa Nova standards, own Zimbo compositions and songs from modern Brazilian composers, such as Djavan, Joao Bosco, Aldir Blanc and others. What a day we had today with three really solid releases. Have a nice Sunday and stay tuned for the forthcoming Sunday night releases. Tracks include:
