Bene Nunes - Bene Nunes e Seu Piano (1958)

This album came to us a couple of months ago via MailbigFile. I got really amazed with this nice cover with the piano, but I did not move further hearing or researching about it. I knew that Bene Nunes is a gifted pianist with participation on Bossa Nova, friend of the president of Brazil Juscelino Kubistcheck and husband of singer Dulce Nunes. I was speaking with a friend today and he said something about a Bene Nunes album with participation of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Radames Gnattali and Severino Filho and I instantly remembered this one. Perhaps I'm wrong, this is a widely unknown participation of these three great musicians and this is really worth checking. Let's see.

This is Bene Nunes - Bene Nunes e Seu Piano (1958), for Continental, featuring Bene Nunes piano with orchestral arrangements by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Radames Gnattali and Severino Filho from Os Cariocas. I think I will only rest quiet when I get this vinyl, to take a look at the back cover and make another digital transfer. If the anonymous contributor reads us, please drop me a line, so we can get along to know more about this album. Tracks include:
