I believe I made the right choice postponing my sleep time for a few hours. I'm feeling much better right now, especially remembering this album, which is one of the first made available at Loronix and a very important Brazilian instrumental music album featuring Milton Banana, the creator of Bossa Nova drumming style, backed by another legend of the movement, Oscar Castro Neves and Conjunto. This is a required update that you cannot miss. Let's see.
This is Milton Banana e Conjunto de Oscar Castro Neves - O Ritmo e O Som da Bossa Nova (1963), for Audio Fidelity, now available with the original first AF 1984 edition with Milton Banana with the name that made his fame instead of Miltinho from the US release. Conjunto de Oscar Castro Neves is a quartet, but other musicians were in this session and they did not received credits by Audio Fidelity. This is one of those self-explanatory albums. Tracks include:

Some people say it's João Gilberto... some people say it's Tom Jobim... but for me, Milton Banana is the true genius behind bossa nova and "brazilian jazz"! My favorite of them all, next to people like Os Cobras...
On altosax and flute is American
Jazz musician Leo Wright, on
percussion Roberto Pontes Dias.
OI Zeca,
Curioso ver este álbum reupado... Ontem, passei a tarde fazendo uma pesquisa pela internet, sobre a discografia do MIlton Banana e descobri que quase nada foi upado, a não ser por vc, que colocou quase toda a obra. Parabéns pelo trabalho!
Durante a pesquisa, encontrei um único álbum complementar, no seu parceiro TM, o de 1974. E também um problema, o álbum de 71 com a capa vermelha que começaria com a música "Madalena" está direcionando para o álbum de 71 que começa com "De noite na cama" . Eu, que baixei tudo ontem, não consegui chegar a este álbum.
Valeu!!!
Muito Valeu!
