Best of Laurindo Almeida

by Laurindo Almeida

Overview

Best of Laurindo Almeida is a ten-track budget-priced collection that features much of the Brazilian guitarist's best-known material, including "Desafinado," "More," "Lisbon Antigua," "Satin Doll," and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." Although this isn't a bad budget-priced disc, there are better collections available, offering more songs and better sound for not much more money. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
