Synopsis

Album Description

The Brazilian guitarist and composer Laurindo Almeida was closely identified with four different major genres across a lengthy career which began as a staff guitarist and bandleader at a radio station in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian music remained an essential constituent of much of his subsequent work, whether played straight or combined with his other major loves, jazz and classical music. "Concert Creations for Guitar" is Alemeida's first album from 1950. It is a beguiling set of intimate unaccompanied pre-bossa guitar pieces that Almeida performed alone, unamplified onstage in those days which compliments "Brazilliance" perfectly.
