Tour de Force is an album by Brazilian guitarist Bola Sete, released in 1963 through Fantasy Records.

Review by Richie Unterberger

Sete led a trio on this mid-1963 date, backed by Fred Schrieber on bass and John Rae on drums. It 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. While he wrote three of the ten songs, his repertoire of cover selections is fairly wide ranging, taking in "Moon River," Dizzy Gillespie's "Tour de Force," and, as a special highlight, his version of Isaac Albeinz's "Asturias," the mournful flamenco-influenced song familiar to any student of Spanish-style guitar. There's also a samba that Luiz Bonfa had a hand in writing ("Sambe de Orfeu")...

hidden gem: sylvia telles — "samba de uma nota só" (1960, amor em hi-fi, odeon).

jobim and newton mendonça wrote it. the joke sits in the title — the melody is mostly one note, the harmony does the work.

sylvia cut it in 1960 alongside joão gilberto's version. four years before getz/gilberto put bossa on the global map. tom wrote "dindi" for her.

car crash on avenida atlântica took her at 32.
