Gilson Peranzzetta (piano) & Arthur Maia (contrabaixo) - Tom & Villa (1986)

Here we go on another album connecting Brazilian Popular and Classical music, featuring a tribute to the greatest artists on each side, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Heitor Villa Lobos. I think this album is rather unknown by Loronixers, it was released by Coca Cola Beverage company to be distributed to clients and never was made available commercially.

Coca Cola released this album to homage Heitor Villa Lobos on his 100th anniversary, celebrated in 1986, inviting Gilson Peranzzetta (piano) and Arthur Maia (bass), backed by the special guests Ze Nogueira (sax soprano) and Amando Marcal (percussion). Let's see.

This is Gilson Peranzzetta (piano) & Arthur Maia (contrabaixo) - Tom & Villa (1986), for Coca Cola, featuring four instrumental renditions of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Heitor Villa Lobos Music. Gilson Peranzzetta is also musical director and arranger, being also responsible for creating Jobinianas Nr. 1 and 2, Antonio Carlos Jobim compositions blended with excerpts of Villa Lobos music) and Viva Villa Nr. 1 and 2, Villa Lobos music blended with excerpts of Antonio Carlos Jobim compositions. Ze Nogueira is listed as special guest, but really makes the difference delivering nice sax playing. Tracks include:
