5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff, January 29, 2007

This is a great recording. Laurindo plays beautifully, as you would expect from a guitarist of his caliber. But what strikes me the most is the contribution of Bob Magnusson. This is one of the greatest double bass performances that I have ever heard. The combination of Almeida with his nylon string guitar and Magnusson's melodic DB playing is really something to hear. This is one of my favorites. It's worth the price of the CD to hear the Beethoven/Monk meld.

5.0 out of 5 stars Um talento injustamente desconhecido em seu País, January 9, 2006

Laurindo foi um músico genial. Infelizmente, nunca teve, em seu País, o reconhecimento que merecia. Fora do Brasil, brilhou e obteve enorme sucesso. Mais que um virtuose, foi um gênio do violão, compondo peças de rara beleza e extrema sensibilidade. Neste disco, algumas das inúmeras jóias lapidadas por sua interpretação criadora. O Brasil deve a suas novas gerações o resgate dessa figura grandiosa, hoje praticamente desconhecida em seu território, mas cuja carreira brilhante no Exterior deve ser motivo de orgulho para os brasileiros. Vale a pena ouvir este CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Soul of Laurindo Almeida, August 3, 2002

By 

"boldstrummer" (Menlo Park) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Outra Vez (Audio CD)

Laurindo was a genius. His arrangements are top notch, and the depth of feeling is deep. There is "duende", here. The knowledge of life and death. (I think Laurindo was fighting cancer at the time) This is no superficial ego driven see how fast I can play project. It is taking the qualities of form and balance and design of great melodies from the classical tradition and breaking them free in new interpretations with a Latin jazz tinge. There is something deeply satisfying in this music.

Laurindo was one of the master of this special genre.
