Laurindo Almeida with Bud Shank - Brazilliance Vol. 3 (1958)

Moos was so nice on sending this album to Loronixers. I did not realize how hard to find it is. It was recorded as a series of three volumes, the first one is already available at Loronix and you should use Loronix Find It to check, recommended. It was recorded in 1953 and you can hear sometimes a draft Bossa Nova birth there. Thanks Moos.

This is Laurindo Almeida with Bud Shank - Brazilliance Vol. 3 (1958), for World Pacific, the third an last out of the collaboration between Laurindo Almeida and Bud Shank, featuring Laurindo Almeida (guitar), Bud Shank (flute), Gary Peacock (bass) and Chuck Flores (drums).
