SYNOPSIS

Released in 1964, Embalo is the only album by Brazilian pianist Tenório Jr., and it has since become a holy grail for collectors of bossa nova and samba jazz. Backed by a stellar lineup including Milton Banana on drums and Sebastião Neto on bass, Tenório Jr. delivers a session filled with lyrical improvisation, intricate harmonies, and the unmistakable swing of Rio’s golden era. Though his career was tragically cut short, this record stands as a timeless document of his brilliance and a cornerstone of Brazilian jazz history.
