Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A great live showcase of a Bossa Nova master.......2006-02-25


Johnny Alf is one of the former Brazilian composers to fuse Jazz into Brazilian music. His strong Jazz accent made him be honored as one of Bossa Nova founders.

He composes and writes his own inspired lyrics. He also plays the piano in all his albums.

This is a live showcase of some of his great standards plus some new material.

5 out of 5 stars The father of Bossa Nova plays his greatest hits.......1999-12-07

This CD is a perfect complement of Cult Alf , released last year. Both are recorded alive in a small night club in Rio de Janeiro. Here Johnny Alf ( with acustic trio ) plays and sings the greatest hits that made him a cult artist in early 50's, some years before Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto made Bossa Nova famous around the world.Songs as Rapaz de bem , O que é amar and Ilusão a toa are classics today. So is his masterpiece Eu e a brisa . Alf is also important to have made the fusion between samba and be-bop that made possible the modernization of brazilian tradicional music.Unfortunatelly he has recorded very few ( 11 times in 50 years ! ) wich mades this CD a very rare document about his talent as a singer and piano player.
