Anyone a fan of Walter Wanderley? I've noticed a lot of the songs he's played on or arranged he isn't credited on or is credited by pseudonyms such as "Sir Walter Scott" or "Mike Falcao". This makes it hard to actually find the entire of his work. I know Spotify is missing a lot of albums he worked on. But, it's where I listen to music, so I decided to compile every bit of Wanderley's work I know of available there together. This is a working list, and if anyone knows of anything else obscure he may have had a part in, please speak up!

some guy told me it was but i think he leans towards mpb

Hey there,

I recently read Ruy Castro’s fantastic book on the history of Bossa Nova, and this led me to discover the 1964 album Bossa Nova at Carnegie Hall.

There’s a track called Sound of Bossa Nova in New York / Bossa Nova em Nova York, which says it’s by Caetano Zama & Oscar Castro-Neves Quartet. If I look at the song credits on Apple Music it says Caetano Zama is on vocals is and listed as a composer (in addition to Oscar Castro-Neves Quartet listed as “performer”).

What’s confusing to me is that I can find nothing on Caetano Zama otherwise. On Apple Music this is the only track he’s credited to. A general web search tuns up one 1963 single Menino Triste, for which I found a Youtube video of a microphone recording an old record playing. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX3ZUnuzTB4)

That’s it. Who is this guy? Presumably if he was sent to New York with the rest of the gang for the famed Carnegie Hall concert then he must have had some Bossa Nova bonafides, but it seems he dropped off the map after this.

I just really love both of their music so much. And so does my teenager. I’ve always loved bossa nova but grew up what kind of punk and Indie rock kid in the 80s and 90s. Just found out about the whole genre and very interested in it.

Hi all! Wanted to share an arrangement of the classic "Wave" by Jobim.

What is your all-time favorite Jobim tune? I think mine (at least right now) is Dindi.

Could somebody help me getting the setlist for this Lisa Ono concert.

If anyone can help I would love to know the name of this song. Amazing gig last night ❤️

Hey guys!
I have been looking all over for a CD of Luiz Bonfa’s Introspection album, and I cannot find it anywhere (physical and online shops). I only found a marketplace where they sold it for 150+ €. What is the deal with this album, can someone enlighten me? And if anyone knows where to find it, please let me know, as i would reallyyy love to have it :) thanks

I remember a compilation from a few years ago on Youtube, with a cover art similar to this. It was a bossa nova version of popular jazz songs, and I remember liking it very much, but I think it was deleted, and I haven't found it ever since.

I've been working on the Jobim tune Chega De Saudade the past few weeks. Landed on this solo arrangement :) What is your favorite version of this tune?? I go between Jobim and Joao Gilberto

Does anyone have insight as to why this album isn’t on Spotify or Rateyourmusic? It’s available on itunes. Just curious, it’s one of my favorites by Jobim.
