Tour de Force is an album by Brazilian guitarist Bola Sete, released in 1963 through Fantasy Records. Review by Richie Unterberger Sete led a trio on this mid-1963 date, backed by Fred Schrieber on bass and John Rae on drums. It tilts a little to the mellower, more sentimental side than more driving sessions such as the one he did the previous year for Bossa Nova. It's still quality by-the-fire jazz bossa nova music, Sete's playing a lesson in both skill and discreet economy. While he wrote three of the ten songs, his repertoire of cover selections is fairly wide ranging, taking in "Moon River," Dizzy Gillespie's "Tour de Force," and, as a special highlight, his version of Isaac Albeinz's "Asturias," the mournful flamenco-influenced song familiar to any student of Spanish-style guitar. There's also a samba that Luiz Bonfa had a hand in writing ("Sambe de Orfeu")... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvnUzINmJ3I #BolaSete #BossaNova #Jazz #JazzGuitar #BrazilianMusic #Music

Green Is Beautiful is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances recorded in 1970 and released on the Blue Note label. The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 3 stars and stated "Green Is Beautiful finds the guitarist growing more comfortable with harder, funkier R&B than he seemed on the softer-hued Carryin' On... Green Is Beautiful proves that Green's reinvention as a jazz-funk artist wasn't the misguided disaster it was initially made out to be". - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL8NuQZWXnI&list=OLAK5uy_kRTGSbXj3oUyw6vseRCT8e9JEsoKXu9-8 #GrantGreen #BlueNote #Jazz #Funk #JamesBrown #TheBeatles #JazzGuitar #Music
