Far more original than the bossanova was the synthesis offered by black guitarist Djalma "Bola Sete" DeAndrade, who blended samba, jazz, American folk music and European classical music in effortless improvisations. He moved to San Francisco in 1959 and released
a deluge of albums, frequently in collaboration with jazz musicians:
E A Bola Da Vez (1959),
Bola Sete (1960),
O Extraordinario Bola Sete (1961),
Bossa Nova (1962),
Tour de Force (1964),
From All Sides (1964),
The Solo Guitar (1965), perhaps his best,
The Incomparable Bola Sete (1965), featuring
Johnny Rae on percussion and Paul Horn on flute,
the inferior Autentico (1966),
Shebaba (1969).
His 1972 opus Ocean was only released in 1975 (by his fan John Fahey),
and its follow-up Ocean II only in 1981. Both are collected on Ocean Memories (Samba Moon, 2000).
Subsequent albums include
Working on a Groovy Thing (1976),
the exceptional, new age tour de force Shambhala Moon (1982),
Jungle Suite (1985).
