Osmar Milito

The outstanding 1971 debut by piano player and arranger Osmar Milito features his amazing cover of Herbie Hancock's 'Cantaloupe Island' plus several classic Brazilian songs by Marcos Valle, Jorge Ben and Ivan Lins among others. Fierce samba jazz and bossa all the way through! The line-up of performing artists could hardly be more impres-sive: Quarteto Forma on vocals, Luis Eca, Marcos Valle, Pascoal Meire-Iles... This brilliant album is up there with the best work of Arthur Verocai and Marcos Valle.
