Hello, good evening! This is the first out of a series of posts provided by Luiz Harding with cassette tapes transfers of the Primeiro Festival de Jazz de Sao Paulo, held at Palacio de Convencoes do Anhembi, in 1978.

Let's see.

This is Victor Assis Brasil - Primeiro Festival de Jazz de Sao Paulo (1978), made available by Luiz Harding's cassette tape transfer. Victor Assis Brasil is backed by Paulo Russo (bass), Fernando Martins (piano) and Ted Moore (drums). Luiz Harding said this Festival was broadcasted by Radio Bandeirantes in Sao Paulo and never had a commercial issue. The music is amazing, but the quality is not the same we are used to get with Loronix vinyl transfers. Take it from an historical perspective and thanks a million Luiz Harding for this sharing and also for waiting so long to see it released at Loronix. Tracks include:
