What do you think of that album, Larry?  (Or others?)

I've never heard it, but always wondered if I should check it out.

Now streaming:

Tamba Trio - Tamba (RCA Victor Brazil, 1974)
with Luiz Eça (p, kybd, vo); Bebeto Castilho (b, fl, sax, vo); Hélcio Milito (d, perc, vo)

I only discovered this recently, and it's knocking me out!  It's comparable to the Tamba 4's We and the Sea, which is much more well-known in the US (since it was released domestically on A&M in '67).  This 1974 release actually reverts to the original early-60s trio lineup, with Milito returning to the drum chair.

Along with José Roberto Bertrami (Azymuth), Egberto Gismonti, and Jovino Santos Neto (originally with Hermeto Pascoal's 80s group), Luiz Eça is one of the most interesting Brazilian pianists/keyboardists I've heard.

I love this album and Reflexos is such an awesome song. The 2001 Brasilian 100 Anos De Musica CD sounds great.

I passed up this one recently when I saw it, and have been kicking myself. Both sides are surprisingly good. (Well, one side is as good as expected, and the other is surprisingly good.)

But really, I like how the Marsalises try so hard to produce something immaculate, and then the Freemans just burst out of the gate on side two like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, with a song called "Jug's Not Dead".

What a band on this one, including her hubby Bob Cooper.

Rich and vibrant Capitol sound.

Back to the Brazilian stuff:

Robertinho Silva - Speak No Evil (Milestone; originally CBS Brazil, 1989) 
with a raft of Brazilian jazz stars + Wayne Shorter & Alphonso Johnson

I like that album too. 

I have it on a CD paired with Gone for the Day.

it's good, as are all of Spaulding's of that era and label. Nice selection of tunes from Don Sickler's bag of vintage stuff -- e.g. Elmo Hope. Tina Brooks. Clifford Brown. Hank Mobley.
