…and the blue bird has flown again, thanks for another nice release Arara Azul, this is Steve Lawrence, Eydie Gorme e Luiz Bonfa – Steve & Eydie, Bonfa & Brazil (1967), for Columbia, a not “standard” Luiz Bonfa release, recorded with the American singers duet Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.

Actually, this is a Steve & Eydie recorded with Bonfa compositions and accompaniment. The cover artwork is wonderful and I cannot resist to share the only reading I have to it, two American singers smiling and very excited of being with a neutral Luiz Bonfa on a recording set, look at his face.

It is also amazing that this record is not listed on both Steve and Eydie biographies at AMG, anyway it is a great record and Bonfa takes part with his guitar in all tracks, which includes:

01 – Rio de Janeiro
02 – Dream My Dream
03 – It’s Love Sweet Love
04 – A Day In The Life Of a Fool (Manhã de Carnaval) (Luis Bonfá / Antônio Maria)
05 – Sweet Talk (Whistle Samba)
06 – Mundo Perdido (Be Still) (Luis Bonfá / Maria Helena Toledo / Manning)
07 – Summer Summer Wind
08 – Say Goodbye (Turn Around Walk Away)
09 – Ôba-ôba (Luis Bonfá / Maria Helena Toledo / Jaffe)
10 – Dia das Rosas (I Think Of You)
11 – Empty Glass
12 – The Face Of My Love (Romântico)
