Biography
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. During the 1980s Bola Sete suffered from lung cancer.
