Description:

Long-awaited reissue of the best of Jazzy Brazilian music, which has attracted many fans despite being a private pressing! The best of Jazzy Brazilian music, secretly released on a minor Brazilian label and loved by some collectors, has been reissued for the first time in a long time! As the title "IN A BLUE DAY" suggests, this record was produced by Orlando, a Brazilian man attending college in North Carolina, who met Patricia, an American woman who was fascinated by Brazilian music. It is a highlight track right from the start.The title track "NUM DIA AZUL" features Orlando's vocals and a flute solo, while Patricia's lovely vocals are intertwined with a bossa nova x jazz style performance. Orlando's vocal track "CANCAO DA CHUVA", "CHORO SAMBAIAO" featuring Patricia's scat, "SO DANCO SAMBA", "THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA", a well-known Jobim song, The jazz-bossa track "SINAL VERDE" is a guitar-driven track reminiscent of Baden-Powell's "SINAL VERDE". The sweet and sour atmosphere of the early days of bossa nova, with just the right amount of amateurism, is balanced with a parade of beautiful melodies that can be said to have no discarding. It is very difficult to obtain the original, perhaps because it was not widely talked about at the time, but for hardcore bossa nova fans and Brazilian record fans, this is a gem that has been loved for many years as the pinnacle of jazzy Brazilian music on private vinyl.Although it has been reissued once, it was already difficult to obtain, so this reissue is a joy.
