Brazil has such a unique and beautiful guitar tradition. They’re the best in my opinion, playing the melody, harmony and bass line at the same time, fusing jazz, classical, and folk elements.
Thank you for posting this! Carlos Santana did a video in the 90s called "influences" where he discussed 3 guitarists: Wes Montgomery, Gabor Szabo and Bola Sete. Please watch it. It will blow your mind and change your playing forever.
Aside from the music, I love how this is all shot with mostly one blurry (by today's standards) camera, in B/W, and is still better content than most of today's multi-million-dollar crap on TV.
Saw Bola Sete with Vince Guaraldi free at El Camino College around the same time as this clip. Made me late for my next class because I couldn’t leave it was so good. Fortunately, my instructor was there as well so he was late too.. It was all he could talk about at first. I used to see Bola riding his bike on the strand in Hermosa and Manhattan Beach. He was of course unmistakeable with that ear to ear smile. Also saw them live at the Lighthouse in Hermosa. Had front row seats about 5 feet from Bola.. Never forget it!!
I first became aware of Bola Sete in 1969. When the first Santana album was released, WNEW FM in NY would occasionally play a segue, with a cut from the Santana album followed by a piece by Bola Sete.

Thats my dad playing the drums!! Rest in peace papa
I've stumbled into the good part of TH-cam again.
I wish there was more video footage of Vince out there. The man was smooth AF
Bola is one happy man. He must have been a fun guy to know, and to jam with. The man is permanently smiling!

Obrigado por postar aqui esse vídeo, que maravilha de som, ouvir a interação da bossa nova de Bola Sete e o jazz de Vince Guaraldi.

Greatest half hour in Latin Jazz/bossa nova in music history.
Here we are 57 years later smoothing the pandemic down! 😌

This is my coffee in the morning ☕ gets my vibration up to face the day with an optimistic and open vibe.
The unmistakable sound of Vince Guaraldi.
Jerry Granelli on drums.
I don't always listen to jazz. But when I do. I prefer Vince Guaraldi.
This is an episode of Jazz Casual, a series hosted by Ralph Gleason on PBS in the 1960s. Here's the track listing:

What a sublime touch Guaraldi had!

The combo of Bola Sete & Vince Guaraldi is among the best jazz combos.
How come more jazz doesnt sound like this?
