More Bola Sete
More Jazz Recordings Featuring the Guitar
- Bola Sete’s superb 1963 release makes its Hot Stamper debut here with Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sound from first note to last
- Exceptionally spacious and three-dimensional, as well as relaxed and full-bodied sound that blew away every other copy we played
- A distinguished member of the Better Records Jazz Hall of Fame and my favorite Latin jazz guitar record of all time
- 4 1/2 stars: “[Tour de Force] tilts a little to the mellower, more sentimental side than more driving sessions such as the one he did the previous year for Bossa Nova. It’s still quality by-the-fire jazz bossa nova music, Sete’s playing a lesson in both skill and discreet economy.”
This pressing is tonally correct from top to bottom. As the old saying goes, it wasn’t broke so don’t try to fix it. Aficionados of the guitar or Latin music will find this record very satisfying in all respects.
