Baden Powell swings with Jimmy Pratt

As our Jazz month draws to a close lets ease ourselves gently back towards Brazil and Bossa...

American jazz and swing music were a great influence on Brazilian guitar maestro Baden Powell de Aquino (1937-2000)
.
This LP dates from 1963, when Baden Powell's collaborations with American jazz musicians were bringing him to international attention. Jimmy Pratt had drummed with a number of Jazz legends, most notably Charlie Parker.
