Aug 19, 2007 - You Tube is a wonderful place. At last I can see Bola. One time I tried to find out more about him and the only music still being sold was an old cassette. Santana has a video that features some of his stuff. Amazing stuff. DOes anyone have any records or transcriptions?

Aug 26, 2007 - Vince Guaraldi is in the background playing. This is the only video I've been able to find of him playing here on youtube.

Sep 24, 2007 - One of the reasons I vibe with Santana is because of his deep and varied musical influences. He was man enough and humble enough to introduce us all to this otherworldly player: Bola Sete.Thanks Carlos!

Nov 9, 2007 - I think he meant that Bola probably spent so much time learning the instrument that he wouldn't have had time to mess with girls.Although I'm sure Bola got a lot of poon in his time

veeshead Says:

Jun 18, 2008 - Not all of us found out about Bola Sete from Santana.Carlos always talks of Bola,Wes,Miles,Trane Peter Green etc.All fantastic people,so where did Carlos go wrong?He doesn't share any of thier traits.Dan

Brilliantbeing Says:

Jun 19, 2008 - Cheap shot, veeshead. Like Santana or not, he has a distinctive tone and feel. Carlos is not an Al Dimeola virtuoso but he's far from run of the mill.

veeshead Says:

Jun 19, 2008 - It's not a cheap shot.He mentioned himself alongside Mike Stern and John Scofield in Guitar Player magazine recently.I agree that you can tell it's him by one or two notes.That's a characteristic most people don't have.I still feel like the only thing he's concerned with is HIM and his long meandering solos.He can't stand to wait for his turn to solo.He just plinks away at a few notes until HE can solo.Dan

Oct 24, 2008 - I am extremely fortunate to have seen Bola in Monterey, CA in the '60's and it is something I have never forgotten. It was truly like watching someone make love to the guitar. Just hearing this brought tears to my eyes...he was such a fantastic artist! Thank You!

rebiqs Says:

Feb 1, 2009 - Bola sounds wonderful! Is that Vince Guaraldi at the piano?? YEOW!! Anyone know if this session exists as a CD??

MINOTAURE27 Says:

Apr 16, 2009 - Yeah, that's Guaraldi on piano. This is still available on cd, the label is "original jazz classics".

emersbandolim Says:

Jun 19, 2009 - Sem comentários!!!! Sensacional!!!

4skorand7 Says:

Jul 10, 2009 - Vince G. on keys, right? I love is awesome style. He was like Steely Dan of the sixties. He took jazz to the masses, with his Charlie Brown stuff!

biboca68 Says:

Jul 23, 2009 - Bola deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!

smartinnyc Says:

Sep 26, 2009 - This is one of the best compositions EVER.! Too bad the entire thing isn't on here.

Joao3s Says:

Jan 16, 2010 - somebody knows if the band are Tião Neto and Paulinho Magalhães !?!?

TheLittledog2 Says:

Jan 25, 2010 - Bola was truly guitar genius.I am lucky to have a several of his albums on cd,but the most beautiful parts are his solo recordings,where he mixed a different genry and styles ( samba,brailian folk,fado,classic, american jazz &folk,flamenco etc.) to make his own vision.

TheLittledog2 Says:

Jan 25, 2010 - The most intricate to me is the fact ,that Bola is almost unknown in his native Brazil.Allmost everybody knows who is Luiz Bonfa,Baden Powel or Laurindo Almeida.but most of them never heard about Bola.I think It should be corrected asap, cause Bola is great as any of them !
