Sambou, Sambou

Sambou, Sambou combines two sublime instrumental albums feauturing the very singular artistry of one of the great bossa-jazz-pioneers, João Donato. [r=6032423] (Completly at Ease) is a landmark set that has, in the five decades since it's original South American release, become something of a reference work for modern Brazilian music, while [r=3060866] is devoted exclusively to Donato compositions, where a stellar line up, led by vibraphonist Dave Pike and including Clark Terry, Chris White and guitarist Kenny Burrel, gleefully the vistas of Donato's art.
