From his abrasive bunching of chords to his languid, lovely melodic flow, Bola Sete was the most deliciously puzzling of all Brazilian jazz and bossa/samba (and eventually New Age) guitarists. Inspired by the wind, the sun, and the improvisational groove of everyday people, Sete fashioned his inventive brand of bossa nova into something fleshy and sensual as well as smartly classical. That he made the very most out of impromptu live performance, famously at Seattle’s Penthouse jazz club with bassist Sebastião Neto and drummer Paulinho Magalhães, is the point of cobbling together such rare recordings.
Complete with many never-before-viewed photos of his visits to the Penthouse, this collection lets you see and feel Sete reaching for freedom. The cluttered, jiving clusterf-%k of “Consolação,” the fleet and trembling “Meditação,” the prickly, menacing madrigal of “Prelude No. 1” all show off the six-stringer at one with an intuitive rhythm within. Over the gigs and years in residency at the Penthouse, the Sete trio often repeated its “hits”—for example, the poppy “One Note Samba,” heard here in several takes—yet probably never once repeated even a single twitch.
