Although Antonio Carlos Jobim and LUIZ BONFA’s soundtrack to the classic Brazilian film “Black Orpheus” sold millions of copies when it was released in 1959, the original score, written by Jobim, with performances by Bonfá, has remained a well-kept secret.

The internationally acclaimed film “Black Orpheus” began life as an award-winning play by the well-known Brazilian playwright and lyricist, Vinicius de Moraes, who in 1956 asked a then unknown piano player, Antonio Carlos Jobim, to write the score. Jobim then enlisted the talents of an equally unknown Luiz Bonfá to play guitar on all the tracks. The resulting score, found on side A of this LP, soon sent both Jobim and Bonfá (also credited with starting the bossa nova movement) on their way to becoming international stars. Side B of this LP is a sample of Jobim and Bonfá’s other work from the same year, 1956. These tracks also feature the vocals of brazilian singer Sylvia Telles, as well as performances by talented bass player, Ed Lincoln!
