Obviously Vince is sitting out on the first one for Bola's feature.

Great guitar playing by Bola Sete!

Of the 50's-60's Brazilian masters Bola Sete is both clearly the most
underrated (under-recorded too) and the most clearly capable of playing
jazz. Nobody else comes close.

I agree. Some of his playing with Guaraldi is definitely jazz (and
very good jazz) guitar playing.

Bonfa and others are great improvising guitarists but are playing their
own Brazilian kind of improv, which is related to jazz but different.
Bola Sete can get that blues groove going in his jazz.

I don't think he was underrecorded, but most of his recording are not
available. His wife maintains a good web site with some extremely rare
clips from the 50s. He was playing a kind of loungy Brazilian rock and
soul music back then. Very interesting:

I guess I mean comparable to other masters like Baden Powel, Tapagos,
Bonfa, etc. For his own dates he has roughly one album a year from
58-67. One in 71, one in 81 and one in 85. Died in '87. What happened
to him?

Perhaps I should say "not enough for me". And those early sides are
hard/impossible to find.
