Album Cover
Luiz Bonfá / Laurindo Almeida
Guitar Music Of Brazil

Compil. 2007 on Él label
Jazz, Latin and Classical (Samba, Bossa Nova)

These giants of Brazilian guitar music born just five years apart both enjoyed career trajectories that took them from humble origins to global renown, from folk music to jazz, and from classical to bossa nova. For all their similarities, Luiz Bonfà and Laurindo Almeida expressed their genius in very distinct ways. Here, Almeida's interpretations here of Villa-Lobos are exquisite and these Bonfa recordings of 1955-56 vintage landmark the birth of Bossa Nova.
