Meirelles E Os Copa 5 – O Novo Som

“O novo som”

Landmark work by one of the greatest Brazilian jazz groups ever! This mid 60s gem is the second release by sax player JT Meirelles and his legendary Copa 5 combo — a killer group that featured Eumir Deodato on piano, Edison Machado on drums, Roberto Menescal on guitar, Manoel Gusmao on bass, and Waltel Branco on electric guitar.

The tracks pick up from the brilliance of the group’s first album — mixing bossa nova with American hardbop styles, soloing majestically with a skill that you’ll find in few other Brazilian groups of the time. The album’s a winner both for fans of jazz and Brazilian rhythms — and this reissue of the material does a fantastic job with it, providing notes in English and Portuguese, and even including a bonus track! Titles include “O Novo Som”, “Samba Do Carioca”, “Samba De Verao”, “Solo”, “Serelepe”, and “Diz Que Fui Por Ai”.
