 |
| Born in Sao Paulo. Plays guitar on Harry

In 1948, he joined the Stan
Kenton orchestra as a soloist. Since then, he has recorded
more than one hundred records. Having been nominated 11 times
for the Grammy, he won five awards. He has composed the
complete scores to at least 10 major motion pictures, among
them the Oscar winner The Old Man and the Sea (1958). He was nominated to the Oscar for composing the score for
the 1970 animated short The Magic Pear Tree.
Almeida was both a classical and a popular musician. Leonard Feather,
jazz critic of the Los Angeles Times, credited Almeida with making bossa
nova popular in the US in 1952,
when the guitarist recorded Inquietação by Ary Barroso with Bud Shank. Before arriving in the US, where he ended up becoming an American citizen in 1961, Almeida had a hard time in Brazil. Born in the interior of São Paulo, he had to sleep on the streets before reaching fame and glory performing at Radio Mayrink Veiga and with the orchestras of the big casinos. The "roaring forties" in Rio and the biography of this unusual musician in Brazil and in the US are the subject of the documentary that will be produced by the Brazilian company Telenews.
