Walter Wanderley is perhaps my all time favorite musician of any style.
In his music he has masterfully captured Brazilian fast redeems of Samba mixed with sophistication & romance of Bossa Nova.
This is one of his earlier Brazilian recordings, which are more authentic than the ones recorded later in America.

3.0 out of 5 stars Early Wanderly
This is one of Wanderley's earliest recordings. Quite possibly his first album. It is a far cry from the great albums he would later be making for Verve. This is nice Wanderley, but far from essential. Curiously, the album as a whole doesn't focus too much on his organ. It is more of an orchestral latin jazz band. He gives a lot of room for his band members to solo. He...

I really like this album on a Sunday morning. For those with a fondness for the samba, just buy this already. Not a bad track on here. Come on. You know you want to buy it. Too much fun. I love this cd.

This is one of Wanderley's earliest recordings. Quite possibly his first album. It is a far cry from the great albums he would later be making for Verve. This is nice Wanderley, but far from essential. Curiously, the album as a whole doesn't focus too much on his organ. It is more of an orchestral latin jazz band. He gives a lot of room for his band members to solo. He doesn't have much solo spots as compared to his band members. He clearly wrote all the arrangements though. The band is still a work in progress at this point. His other early album for EMI, now on cd, Samba No Esquema, is a much better album and his band is much more refined by 1963. This recording from 1961 allows the listener to hear how he would progress in just a few years. Not essential, but enjoyable notheless. The remastering is good too!
