'Imprevisto' is one of the most unmistakable Brazilian jazz records ever made. Dramatic intro and hypnotic piano, with panned percussion before the hi-hats come in. Then the upright bass. A true classic. This is the final track on the Bossa Tres ‘Em Forma!’ LP from 1965, released on Forma. ‘Imprevisto’ has never been released on a 7”.
Very little is known about Ana Rosely. She released four 7” records between 1975 and 1984, the latter featuring the brilliant ‘Skim Dum Dum Dum’. It is now very difficult to find an original copy in good condition and they are, as ever, increasing in price.
