Real Name: Djalma de Andrade. Brazilian guitarist (July 16, 1923 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - February 14, 1987 in Greenbrae, California). Having studied the guitar in Brasil, he played locally and in Italy. Later on he was brought to the USA to play in the Sheraton hotel chain, where he was discovered by Dizzy Gillespie (in New York). Gillespie took Sete to the 1962 Monterey Jazz Festival, which meant his breakthrough. Shortly after Bola Sete settled in San Francisco, where he joined the Vince Guaraldi Trio. After a couple of years Sete formed his own trio, with which he performed at the 1966 Monterey Jazz Festival. WEB

It is such a pity that Dizzy Gillespie Philips' LPs have yet to be reissued on CD, for the trumpeter (45 at the time of this recording) was at the peak of his powers in the early '60s. On such songs as "In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town," "Careless Love," "One Note Samba" and the "Theme from Black Orpheus," Gillespie and his expanded quintet (with guests Bola Sete or Elec Bacsik on guitar and Charlie Ventura taking a memorable bass sax solo on "No More Blues-Part II") show a great deal of spirit and creativity. Leo Wright (on alto and flute) and pianist Lalo Schifrin are also in fine form throughout this gem. Scott Yanow Tracklist + Credits :
