Here is a playlist of 30 of the finest pieces by Bonfá, Brazil's most technically gifted guitarist. He was an instrumental figure in the development of Bossa Nova, but was classically trained; You can ascertain his prowess by listening to the track 'Preludio', a beautiful arpeggiating piece. Also, check out 'Tenderly', Bonfá's rendition of the oldie (1946) by Walter Gross. My favorite track is 'Samba De Duas Notas (Two Note Samba)', which is from the Jazz Samba Encore! album that he recorded with Stan Getz.
Included are pieces from these albums:
Luiz Bonfá (1955)
Bonfafá (1958)
Meu Querido Violão (1959)
Black Orpheus (1959)
