October 8, 1929--August 2, 2003

Track 5 From "Late Night Guitar" Album
Released In 1992 By Movie Play Records

"Everything started in a casual meeting with an old friend, Tito, nowadays working for Movie Play, when on invitation to cut a CD for his company was made, and accepted at once. From there, my guitar and I started the task of creation of this first one (for me) compact disc.

Passing through Tom Jobim, Ernesto Nazareth, Milton Nascimento and others, up to something more sophisticated as American hits, Piazzola, Bach and Villa-Lobos, I have tried to include all sorts of music that I have always enjoyed playing.

At some tracks like ODEON, CHORO Nº 1, OLHA MARIA and CONCERTO POUR UNE VOX, I have made arrangements for two, sometimes three guitars, chiefly in CONCERT FOR ARANJUEZ, where because of a dared suggestion of the producer, I have made on adaptation for Bossa Nova, and it seems that it was worth to try..."
