Bossa Três, one of the most perfectly formed instrumental jazz bands in Brazil, accompanys Jo Basile, the famous French accordion player who rose to fame in the 1950s and 1960s.
They carefully selected the best of the last 10 years of popular Brazilian music composed by Oscar Castro Neves, Sérgio Ricardo, Carlos Lyra, Vinicius de Moraes, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vera Brasil, all well known in the United States.
The melodies represent classic bossa nova. All the arrangements are by Jo Basile. Bossa Três adds that final touch of authentic Brazilian quality to the recordings, with the sensationnal piano by Luís Carlos Vinhas, drumming by Edison Machado and bass by Sebastião Neto.
