Tenorio Jr. - Embalo 1964

On one of my earlier Brazilian posts, an old and loyal friend of this blog, Cvllos, made a lovely contribution of this album. All of us here enjoy it when you guys and gals give back to the blog, but it often takes me, anyway, a little bit to actually listen and pass it to the front. Sorry it took so long, because this one is all killer!

If you enjoyed Turma da Gafieira and Os Cobras, you will certainly love this as many of the same giants are involved. A magnificent jewel from the birth of Bossa Nova.

"Fantastic! This is one of the all-time Brazilian jazz classics of the 60s – and one of the most sought after bossa albums ever! Pianist Tenorio Jr leads a crack ensemble through some fantastic tracks – as warm and soulful as they are tight and angular, a perfect summation of the bossa jazz idiom at its truest expression! The writing is fantastic throughout – and the album includes loads of great numbers – including the famous "Nebulosa", instantly recognizable from a sample used by United Future Organization, and the tracks "Clouds", "Nectar", "Embalo", and "Estou Nessa Agora". A delight through and through – and one we never tire of!"  © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Thanks Cvllos!

    The first link is from Cvllos and I encourage you to use that one, but if it doesn't work where you are then try the second one.

    Wow, you're welcome, my friend KK!
    I'll try to send some more of my recordings; unfortunately, in the mean time, one of my HD crashed and I became out in the air, sorry.
    But Tenorio was a real talent and unfortunately he left us too soon on a complex situation in Argentina.

    Discovering super music after all these years? How great is life?

    Makes my head spin thinking about what else I'm missing.

    Merci.
