Year: 1966 Label: Verve (2000) Total playing: 46:23 Bitrate: 320 kbps Cover Included. This is an amazing album, out of print for 30 years. It represents the peak of B ola's playing of the Brazilian/American Jazz milieu. It is a classic recording. /It even has Bola speaking on the CD! Buy it while it's available. ~ Anne Sete, May 26, 2000 This is a long overdue and terrific album by Bola Sete. I remember listening to some of his recordings during the 1950's in Cuba and I believe he traveled to Ha vana and performed on Cuban television. He was well known and admired everywhere . I'm glad I wrote to Fantasy Records in late 1996 or early 1997 and requested t hey release Bola's recordings with Vince Guaraldi on CD format. In 1998 the CD " From All Sides" with Vince and Bola was released. I'm glad to see it started a " revival" or re-issues of his recordings here and elsewhere. Bola Sete was and st ill is my favorite Brazilian guitarist and musician. His musical concepts and ar rangements paved the way for the Bossa Nova. "Bola Sete Live at the 1966 Montere y Jazz Festival" is a special treat to all of us who saw and heard him perform i n the "good old days". I'm also very happy that we have heard from Anna Sette an d that she reviewed this great CD re-issue on my birthday, May 26! What a beauti ful coincidence! At long last we can enjoy Bola's great recordings! ~ L. Dequesa da Nine months before a certain other guitarist made a huge splash at a Monterey mu sic festival, Brazilian acoustic guitarist Bola Sete left his own mark on an Ame rican jazz audience still feeding its voracious appetite for all things Brazilia n. To be sure, Bola Sete didn't sneak up on the American public quite like Jimi Hendrix did--after all, Sete had made waves as part of Vince Guaraldi's ensemble in the years leading up to this historic 1966 performance. The classically trai ned Sete wowed fans with a unique style that seemed to fall somewhere between An dres Segovia's elegance and Django Reinhardt's exuberance, a space not as wide a s you might think. By the summer of '66, Sete had graduated to his own trio with bassist Sebastiao Neto and percussion master Paulinho Da Costa.The centerpiece of this performance is the three-song "Black Orpheus Medley," but Sete adds a pa ir of noteworthy originals. "Soul Samba" has subtle blues inflections that remin d you that Barney Kessel was the first jazz guitarist to catch his ear. "Flamenc o" is a simply stunning solo performance that blends challenging chording with i ncredibly speedy single-note runs, and offers the most overt example of his comf ort with the folk traditions of his homeland. At some points, he amazingly plays his own bass accompaniment to his upper-register notes. This long-overdue 2000 CD reissue fleshes out the original LP release by adding 4 minutes to the medley as well as 2 unreleased cuts (with poorer sound quality) from the show, includi ng a bossa nova arrangement of Ellington's "Satin Doll." ~ by Marc Greilsamer Personnel: Bola Sete (Guitar) Sebastiao Neto (Bass and Percussion) Paulinho Da Costa (Drums) Bola Sete - At the Monterey Jazz Festival tracks: 1.
