Stan Getz once asked Brazilian conductor Júlio Medaglia, 'Why doesn't Baden Powell move to Europe or the United States, where he would become the world's greatest guitarist?' To which Medaglia replied, 'Because, maybe, he's already the world's greatest guitarist'. 'Brazil On Guitar' includes Baden's 1961 album 'Um violão na madrugada (A Guitar at Dawn)', two further complete LPs which he distinguished; 'A Noite do meu bem' by the ever-popular Lúcio Alves and 'Jóia Moderna' by Alaíde Costa (a favourite of João Gilberto). Here also are Baden's sublime contributions to albums by Carlos Lyra, Elizete Cardoso, and the American flautist Herbie Mann. Rosinha de Valença's live performance of Baden's 'Consolação' is miraculous.
To showcase the revolutionary guitar of João Gilberto, there are 14 numbers, including unforgettable songs from the pen of Jobim that quite simply changed the world.
