Victor Assis Brasil - Jobim (1970)

Hello, Good Evening! I'm coming back from the place of a Loronix friend who made a special contribution to Loronixers, a small contribution in number of albums (I could bring more, I'm so shy...), but an awesome contribution in terms of quality, seven anthological Samba LPs, all solid, from start to the end and some of them very difficult to find out. Loronix engineers were contacted to extra hours tonight to make available at least one album for our community pleasure.

Meanwhile, we will be in very good company with Victor Assis Brasil and his tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim repertoire.

This is Victor Assis Brasil - Jobim (1970), for Forma, with four breathtaking renditions of Wave, So Tinha que Ser com Voce, Bonita and Dindi, considered by many the best album recorded by the Brazilian jazz legend Victor Assis Brasil. Personnel is not identified on back cover and we should thank the effort of Discos do Brasil, owned and maintained by Maria Luiza Kfouri for the identification, a constellation of top-notch musicians. Tracks include:
