Release Notes:

Amazon.com
Luiz Bonfa, along with Antonio Carlos Jobim, Baden
Powell and Joao Gilberto, helped invent Brazilian
Bossa Nova. "The whisper heard around the world"
was budding during the 1950s but achieved full
flower a decade later. It was a coolly intellectual
yet irresistibly melodic marriage of
African-derived samba rhythms with American jazz
and French Existentialism. Bonfa eventually became
world-famous due to his contributions to the score
of Orfeo Negro, a much-honored film in which the
tragic Greek legend was transmuted to Rio during
Carnival time. The present tracks were produced by
Emory Cook and this invaluable reissue not only
revives a beautiful album but contains 15
previously unreleased tunes. The sonic environment
is clear and spacious throughout, uncluttered by
unnecessary studio adulterations. Bonfa was not a
great singer but his wistful,
straight-from-the-heart delivery makes mere
technique seem showy and overdone. However, as a
guitarist, he had no superiors and few peers.
--Christina Roden

Product Description
One of the most creative guitar virtuosos of the
20th century, Luiz Bonfa is celebrated as one of
the principal architects of the cool Brazilian
sound of bossa nova - and as co-author, with
Antonio Carlos Jobim, of the film score to "Black
Orpheus." But Bonfa was far more than the composer
of "Manhaπ de Carnaval." His technical mastery,
intimacy, and dynamism suffuse every track of this
first CD edition of his masterpiece, a
long-unobtainable solo 1959 LP, along with a
half-hour of previously unreleased material from
the original studio session. 70 minutes, 31 tracks,
32 page booklet with extensive notes by Anthony
Weller.
