Travessuras Do Bola 7 by Bola 7 E Seu Conjunto aka Bola Sete, released on Odeon in 1958.

Biography by Alvaro Neder

Bola Sete was a Brazilian guitarist and composer. His unique, highly improvisational style offered an approach that wed Brazilian styles to flamenco, classical, jazz, American folk, bossa nova, and pop. Sete cut half-a-dozen albums for Odeon before leaving Brazil in 1959, including Aqui Está O Bola Sete (1957) and Ritmolândia (1959). He met Dizzy Gillespie while playing at a Sheraton lounge one evening and promptly joined the trumpeter's band. In 1962, he issued his American debut, Bossa Nova, for Fantasy.

Carnival In Rio by Bola Sete, released on Puchito in 1958.

Incredible! This early album by Bola Sete shows a completely different side of the Brazilian guitarist than later records. The feeling of the album is very festive -- in keeping with the carnival theme -- and Sete plays an electric guitar quite frenetically, jamming away in a fast style that's equally compelling as his mellower work from the 70s. Titles include "Chiquito", "Coco Baturite", "Caravana", "Mulher Rendeira", "Uno A Cero", and "Nino Grande". - Dusty Groove

Quand j’ai écouté Pastorius pour la première fois, en 82, chez un disquaire londonien, j’ai pris une claque dans la figure. Je jouais un peu de basse, mais là je me suis dit : « Aïe, aïe, aïe ! » Alors j’ai acheté une Fender, mais il aurait fallu que je recommence mon apprentissage depuis le début… c’était un peu trop tard.

The New Boss Guitar of George Benson is the debut studio album by American jazz/soul guitarist George Benson released in 1964 under Prestige Records

Review by Alex Henderson

George Benson was only 21 when, on May 1, 1964, he recorded his first album as a leader, The New Boss Guitar of George Benson. At that point, the guitarist had yet to become a huge name in jazz, although many of those who knew him for his work with Jack McDuff's group (which he joined in 1962) agreed that he showed great potential. Benson still had some growing to do in 1964, but even so, this is an impressive debut. The guitarist had developed a distinctive, recognizable sound on his instrument, and he plays with both feeling and technique...

The band on the European leg (Chris Fishman—keys, Joe Dyson—drums) join Pat, and the "+" is comprised of many additional players, including a vocal group.

Metheny is one of those artists who you know from the first note, and these new compositions are welcome.
