Salvador Trio – Tristeza

A rare 1965 trio recording by piano legend Dom Salvador. Features Edson Lobo (bass) and Victor Manga (drums).

This album fuses the hard bossa trio sound, that was just starting to become a major force in Rio, with pure melodic jazz. Lobo’s double bass playing adds depth and colour that other bossa trios could not match.

Dom Salvador, born 1938 as Salvador da Silva Filho, worked in a series of bossa jazz combos and professionally backed top-name artists such as Elis Regina, Jorge Ben and Edu Lobo. Almost all his songs were original compositions, showing Salvador’s stately position in the Brazilian jazz brethren.
