Luiz Bonf� - Solo in Rio 1959

One of the most creative guitar virtuosos of the 20th century, Luiz Bonf� is celebrated as one of the principal architects of the cool Brazilian sound of bossa nova�and as co-author, with Ant�nio Carlos Jobim, of the film score to Black Orpheus. But Bonf� was far more than the composer of Manh� 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.
