Bossa Nova Reference Album from a Bossa Nova Master, February 24, 2006
This review is from: Ee (Audio CD)
Johnny Alf is one of the former Brazilian composers to fuse Jazz into Brazilian music. His strong Jazz accent made him be honored as one of Bossa Nova founders.
He composes and writes his own inspired lyrics. He also plays the piano in all his albums.
This is one of his best albums with a collection of such great standards which include slow ballad 'Ilusao a Toa', one of his smash hits in Brazil. Also includes delicious Jazz swinging sambas that were made Alf's career classics.
Album also features Helio Delmiro on acoustic guitar and a famous vocal trio in Brazil, 'Os Tres Morais'.
A mandatory album for a respectable Bossa Nova Collection.
