 Rating:  - great cd to add to your collectionSince I first watched the movie "black orpheus in 1960 I'have been in love with bosa nova and samba music over these last forty plus years.In my collection of over 100 bosa nova and samba cds this stands out as # one or #2. As the ex rep. for revox [studer] to my ears there could not be a better live recording. No collection should be without this cd if you are as big bosa nova fan as I am.....loren willey Rating: - Music from the soulLuis Bonfá plays with his soul, and the result is fantastic. If you like bossa nova, not doubt this is a must have. Rating: - One of the best Pieces of Music I OwnI can't think of any other way to put it - this is easily one of the best albums I own.

But if you enjoy the cool, understated and soothing sophistication of bossa nova and a taste of Bonfa's perfect sense of rhythm, then don't hesitate to give this a shot. I was more familiar with A C Jobim and Joao Gilberto than I was with Luiz Bonfa until I bought this CD, but I knew that Bonfa's music had merit solely on the strength of the internationally famous Morning of the Carnival. I recently listened to this again after it sat a long time on the shelf, and I found a lot to like that I missed when I initially heard it. The first six songs ...

I was very disappointed in this CD... and there aren't many Brazilian CD's I can say that about. |
