Artist:  Laurindo Almeida

Title:  Acapulco '22

Date:  196?

Label:  Tower Records   DT 5060

Notes:  Another in the long line of samba records to come out of Brazil and embrace the more contemporary sounds of the American airwaves. But, you get a nice version of Misirlou and some very talented fretwork on the part of the rotating second guitarists. And the cover ain't too hard on the eyes either.

Line Up:

Laurindo Almeida: guitar and cavaquinha
Howard Roberts and Al Viola: alternating on second guitar
Shelly Mann, Milt Holland, and Chico Guerrero: percussion
Jimmy rowles: electric organ
Max Bennett: bass
Bob Cooper: tenor sax
Don Fagerquist: trumpet
Justin Gordon: flute
