Samba On The Beach
Walter Wanderley
Tower T5058
1967
From the back cover: First came the guitar sounds of Almeida, Bonfas, and Gilberto, to tantalize the ear like softly effluent wisps of smoke, breeze-born from Brazil. Then the piano of Jobim, gently lustrous cascades of notes, like pearls flung across white satin. More recently came the buoyant ensemble sounds of Sergio Mendez and his group. And now the newest delight to reach these shores from Rio: the deft, light, billowing, silken sounds of
Walter Wanderley at the organ.
"Above all, his music is Brazilian," wrote one commentator from Walter Wanderley's homeland. For this excellent musician has steadily resisted the United States-influenced bossa nova styles, and continued his own highly personal explorations of the Southern hemisphere "new swing." The huge success of his delightful "Rain Forest," and the hits which have followed it, have confirmed the validity of his choice.
In this album, Walter Wanderley supplements the sound of his organ with his own fleet, expert piano, and with guitar, bass, tenor sax, and percussion. With wonderful songs like the lilting "The Girl from Ipanema," the lively, delightful "Ze from Conceicao," and the bewitching "Murmurio" - destined to be a new Walter Wanderley all-time favorite - Walter and his musicians translate into irresistible jazz-samba sounds the intimately whispered essence of romance. Murmurio. Murmur of love!
