Debut Album by Master Guitarist On 180g Vinyl LP!
The Brazilian born master guitarist Bola Sete (literally translated to “SevenBall” and a snooker reference) originally studied music at the Conservatory ofRio while playing in his own jazz sextet and small samba combos. Sete spent timein Italy and also absorbed jazz influences as he was a avid fan of CharlieChristian and Django Reinhardt. It was these influences, along with the localsamba and bossa nova flavor he was absorbing on a daily basis in Brazil, thatform the foundation of his sound. This record, his debut album from 1957,combines those influences beautifully in a perfect jazz samba setting, a fullyformed artist who had been a professional musician for years before releasingthis album. Sete counted among his admirers and fans such disparate legends asDizzy Gillespie and John Fahey, and one listen to this masterful debut will tellyou why. An absolute essential on 180 gram vinyl.
“Bola Sete is as significant as Jimi Hendrix and Segovia, in the sense ofhaving wisdom, knowledge, soul and passion.” – Carlos Santana
“His music is so good it’s eerie.” – John Fahey
