Oscar Castro-Neves
Playful Heart
Brazilian Days The Bossa Nova craze took over the U.S. by storm back in the '60's, due
not only to Jobim and Gilberto (both Joaò and Astrud), but also to a long list
of Brazilians that included Oscar Castro-Neves, and to the efforts and influence
of a few Americans at the time: Charlie Byrd, Stan Getz and Paul Winter. (Getz
got too much of the credit, in my opinion, and almost all of the money, but
that, as they say, is another story.) "Brazilian Days" is a backward glance to a
period nearly 40 years ago by two who were there at the start:
Paul Winter and
Oscar Castro-Neves. Calling upon all those decades of friendship and
reminiscences, these two have gone back in time and selected their personal
favorites, many of which will be unfamiliar to most. And it's just as well, for
this collection is as fresh as a Bahian sea breeze.
