A "Must Have" CD!
Luiz Bonfa was one of the original creators of Bossa Nova music. This CD is one of his best. His guitar playing was superb and astounding. This music is playable for any occasion, either as background music at parties or music to sit and listen to. I highly recommend it! 2008-03-30
The Chairman loves this!
I am in awe. His superb musicianship surpasses my other favorite, the Jobim Songbook. 2007-06-12
Solo in Rio 1959
Luiz Bonfa has to be one of best classical style guitar players I'll ever hear during my lifetime. Luiz Bonfa is not a singer. He can play a solo piece and you would swear he had an accompaniment, if you could not see him playing. If you have an ear for music, you'll appreciate his playing. 2007-05-12
Sublime
This CD illustrates beautifully why Luiz Bonfa is considered one of the most important and influential Brazilian guitarists ever. No collection of Brazilian guitar music (or quality guitar music of any genre for that matter) is complete without this sublime recording. Excellent liner notes by an accomplished writer/musician who really knows this man's music are icing on a delicious cake. 2007-04-07
A real talent
Luiz Bonfa was a classically trained guitarist who became a wonderful jazz musician and composer. The spontaneity of these solo performances - all miniatures that do not seem brief at all - is matched by the natural sound of the recording. It is hard to believe that it was made with a battery operated tape recorder in one night in 1959. This CD proves that all you need to sound great is real talent. 2007-01-24
