Luiz Bonfá, a leading Brazilian bossa nova musician active since the 1940s, is a unique guitarist who simultaneously weaves bass, chords, and melody with just six strings and ten fingers. This album was released in 1957, shortly before his move to the United States. Perhaps influenced by Debussy's Bohemian, or perhaps reflecting the atmosphere of the time, it doesn't prominently feature Brazilian rhythms, instead consisting of relaxed, melody-centered guitar pieces. One of Bonfá's works we want to listen to now. Not yet released on CD.
ベース・和音・旋律をたった6本の弦と10本の指で同時に紡ぎ出す特殊ギタリストであり40年代より活動するブラジルを代表するボサノバ演奏家Luiz Bonfá。本作は渡米前直前にリリースされた57年作。ドビュッシーのボヘミアから来ているのか、その時の空気感だったのかブラジル的リズムを前面に出さず旋律中心のリラックスしたギター曲で構成されています。今聞きたいBonfá作品のひとつと思います。未CD化。
