However, she certainly ended her career with a bang since this is a landmark album showing her at the height of her refined artistry backed by exquisite arrangements by Waldemiro Lemke, Erlon Chaves and Ruben Perez ‘Pocho’. <br /><br />Besides, this album is noteworthy for introducing four songs by Jobim/Moraes on record:<br /><br />The iconic “Só Danço Samba” and “Samba do Avião”, released on single in October 1962 before included on this album, were introduced in August 1962 by Antônio Carlos Jobim, Os Cariocas and João Gilberto in the historical concert series later bootlegged as “O Encontro au ‘Bon Gourmet’” before featured in the movie Copacabana Palace in November 1962, thus after Elza’s release. <br /><br />In addition, this album features the first recordings of “Canção em Modo Menor” and “Andam Dizendo” and the first and only recording of “Valsa do Amor de Nós Dois”.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
