BrazilOnGuitar says: BP's first LP follows the heavily orchestrated sound
of the fifties. Evident are influences of Django Reinhardt, one of his role models. BP plays jazz standards like Stella by Starlight and compositions like Na Baixa do Sapateiro, which would remain in his repertoire for the rest of his life. There is only one composition by BP himself: Samba Triste. On his second record there would be more of his compositions.
BrazilOnGuitar says: On the second LP there are heavily orchestrated
arrangements in the style of the fifties, as well as pieces with smaller combos, something he would later prefer for long periods. Instead of jazz standards there are first solo pieces by BP, where his classical education can be heard. Compositions like Fluido de Saudade reminds of Francisco Tarrega. In 1962 BP would record with big names of the jazz world: Herbie Mann and Jimmy Pratt.
