Dom Um Romao - The Complete Muse Recordings (1990)

Let's close this Thursday with another acclaimed artist with no solo album releases since January 16 2007, one year and two days, the Brazilian drummer, percussionist and composer Dom Um Romao, a important musician during the Bossa Nova years, taking part as sideman on several important albums, including the collaboration between Antonio Carlos Jobim and Frank Sinatra. By the way, Dom Um Romao seems to be a favorite artist of several Loronixers, his last release is among the top five of 2007, in terms of number of downloads by our community. Let's see.

This is Dom Um Romao - The Complete Muse Recordings (1990), for Muse, featuring two Dom Um Romao albums recorded for Muse, Dom Um Romao (1972) and Spirit of the Times (1973), being the first new at Loronix and the second a repost made available in August 2006. The download package brings lots of details on both albums, including photos, such like this one in the left side of this paragraph.
