1956
From the back cover: Laurindo Almeida has achieved fame in a widely diversified fields of music by creating beautiful and serious compositions for guitar, by performing brilliantly as solo guitarist with some of the nation's most distinguished jazz bands, and by playing with equal brilliance on the classical concert stage. His appearances at such places as Carnegie Hall, Chicago's and San Francisco's Civic Opera Houses, and the Hollywood Bowl, have been marked by enthusiastic acclaim of his inspired artistry.
From Billboard - February 4, 1956: Artist and composer Almeida, already represented by an album of guitar music from Spain, delves into the works of closer neighbors here. In a recording of impeccable quality. 11 complete short works are presented, highlighting not only the artistry of the soloist but the imaginative guitar scorings of four Latin composers, Mexicans Jose Barroso and Manuel Ponce, Brazilian Veitor Villa-Lobos, and Pataguayan Agustin Barrios, in addition to Almeida himself. Certainly there is no mass market appeal but for those who fancy this versatile instrument, this package promises rewards.
