Toquinho - Ao Vivo em Montreux (1982)

Hello, good evening! I’ve been really waiting for the moment of updating Loronix again. It is really nice to be back. It was a great pleasure to read and approve each comment sent on the last “get well soon” post. Thanks everybody for supporting me and keeping Loronix alive and busy during these crazy days. Loronix community provides personal accomplishments that can only be experienced here, not anywhere else in this world. Thank You!

This is Toquinho – Ao Vivo em Montreux (1982), for BMG Ariola. I could not sleep well today without updating Loronix, and this is a really nice post. I never heard about Toquinho’s participation at Montreux Jazz Festival. As far as I could search, this album never had the chance of a digital release and it is pretty unknown. Toquinho plays, sings and is backed by a constellation of Brazilian musicians, including the legendary bassist Azeitona. Tracks include:

Personnel

Toquinho
(violao)
Azeitona
(bass)
Mutinho
(drums)
Djalma Correa, Papete
(percussion)
Roberto Sion
(sax, flute)

This album was found MINT and no audio restoration was made.
