Description

The Tamba Trio were one of the most important musical groups to emerge out of the Bossa Nova movement in Brazil in the 1960s.

The group released their debut album, Avanço, in 1963 on Philips Brazil.

Led by the young genius pianist, arranger and composer Luiz Eça, and formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1963, the Tamba Trio became the central group at the legendary Bottles Bar, home of the Bossa Nova in Beco das Garrafas, where they played alongside the many stars of the day such as Elis Regina, Carlos Lyra, Nara Leão and Edu Lobo.

The groups unique and highly distinctive Bossa Jazz and vocals style was to prove highly
influential in the development of Bossa Nova, never more so than on their amazing original
version of Mas Que Nada, written by Jorge Ben and featured here.

This is a bespoke high quality box edition CD of this seminal album with exact reproduction artwork of the original album, never before released outside Brazil.

There is also a very collectable limited edition (1000 worldwide), exact repro vinyl edition with hardback American-pressed sleeve and heavyweight vinyl.
