Sambalanço Trio (album)
''Sambalanço Trio'' is the debut album by Brazilian samba-jazz group Sambalanço Trio, released in 1964. The album was reissued later that year as ''Samblues''. Reception Writing for Allmusic, critic John Vallier writes that the group "had a sophisticated and multi-faceted sound, one that melded an aggressive, samba-school-on-parade sound with a subtler air, redolent of Antonio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, and even the Bill Evans Trio". The album, he writes, "infused the soporific bossa nova scene of 1964 with much-needed doses of energetic rhythms, cutting-edge jazz voicings, and spontaneity". Track listing #"Samblues" (César Camargo Mariano) – 2:13 #"Balanço Zona Sul" (Tito Madi) – 2:31 #"O Morro Não Tem Vez" (Antônio Carlos Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes) – 3:42 #"Nós E O Mar" (Ronaldo Bôscoli, Roberto Menescal) – 2:15 #"Homenagem a Clifford Brown" – 2:39 #"Berimbau" (Vinícius de Moraes, Baden Powell) – 3:50 #"Jacqueline K" – 2:45 #"Consolação" (Vi ...
