That's like the black American/ADOS style of piano. It doesn't need a band either. Or hell, ADos style bass as well a la victor wooten.

No, I didn’t record it. It was in Carmel Valley Ca. Laurindo Was a true gentleman, kind and easy to play music with. I can only hope he felt the same about me :-) Interestingly, he indicated he was not a fan of the brush and stick approach to playing bossa nova. Which was very common then and still today.

I saw Laurindo Almeida live in a small Jazz Club in Toronto many, many years ago, never to be forgotten. I was visiting family there, I was 30 I'm now 80 and still play his music digitally through my iPhone on my 2007 Jaguar S-type car stereo(updated two years ago). My two favourite things in one place, driving the Jag and listening to Laurindo.

Laurindo Almeida was a consummate musician who played Classical Guitar, jazz, contemporary music and made wonderful arrangements for the guitar. One of my friends is was a music producer of Baroque Music that convinced Laurindo Almeida to record an all Bach album. The result was a very enjoyable collection of selected Bach pieces arranged for 2 guitars (played by Laurindo on two different tracks).
