A rare 1965 trio recording by piano legend Dom Salvador. Features Edson Lobo (bass) and Victor Manga (drums). This album fuses the hard bossa trio sound, that was just starting to become a major force in Rio, with pure melodic jazz. Lobo's double bass playing adds depth and colour that other bossa trios could not match. This is the greatest jazz album to come out of Brazil full stop. Check!

Dom Salvador, born 1938 as Salvador da Silva Filho, worked in a series of bossa jazz combos and professionally backed top-name artists such as Elis Regina, Jorge Ben and Edu Lobo. Almost all his songs were original compositions, showing Salvador?s stately position in the Brazilian jazz brethren.

This album and all those made in the same vein at the beginning of the 60s, such as the second 'Salvador Trio', both 'Rio 65 Trio's, Edison Machado's 'É' Samba Novo', Tenorio Jr's 'Embalo' mark a very special moment in brazilian popular music, when bossa began to be played in alternative ways.

The LP features fully reproduced original photographs and artwork. Produced on heavyweight 180g vinyl, old-style packaging, the same as the original LP. Original label art. Limited Edition LPs.
