Varios Artistas - Bossa Nova at Carnegie Hall (1962)

I think nobody had idea of the date we are celebrating with this post and I would be really disappointed missing it. Thanks a million to Joao Pires Barbosa Filho, a late, but great Loronixer. Joao told me about this date a pair of hours ago and I had a really hard time to make it ready. Thanks once again Joao and Let's celebrate the 45th anniversary of the first Bossa Nova US Concert performed at New Your City, November 21, 1962.

This is Bossa Nova at Carnegie Hall (1962), for Audio Fidelity, featuring excerpts of the first US Bossa Nova concert. It is hard to believe that Loronix did not have this album. Perhaps it was commercially available and I did not check its availability on regular basis. Anyway, now I'm glad to make it available on such special date. Personnel listing is provided bellow associated with track list. Tracks include:

    Hi Zeca, I can super relate to this recording since I lived right next to this hall for almost 17 years. Cheers!

    This is the official Carnegie Hall concert LP. But as Ruy Castro writes in his book, there are
    collectors out there who have the
    bootleg recording of the whole concert,including the performances by Tom Jobim. Also there was a TV-team at the concert and the whole concert was aired on TV in Brazil in 1963. Did this material survive?
    Will anybody who has the complete
    conceret share it with us on Loronix?

    VIVA O OSCAR CASTRO NEVES....as opiniões sobre esse show e suas consequiencias são muitas. Uns falam que foi um sucesso, outros um vexame....mas uma coisa podemos ter certeza. Esse show saiu graça ao esforço do Oscar Catro Neves, pois o Sergio Mendes não deixou seu grupo acopmpanhar ninguem.....segundo o Sergio Ricardo (Quem Quebrou meu violão) foi o Oscarque passou a noite toda ensaiando o pessoal......Viva o OScar Castro Neves
