Os Poligonais (The Polygonals) was a Brazilian instrumental quintet formed by pianist Vicente Salvia in the early 1960s to capitalize on the bossa nova trend. Joining him were Vidal Sbrighi on tenor sax, clarinet and flute, Edmar Tomy on guitar, Álvaro Galati on bass and Pedro dos Santos Eduardo on drums.
The group's first, eponymous album was Os Poligonais, for Brazilian RCA and released in 1964. It's a gorgeous LP with beautiful piano by Salvia and sensual flute played by Sbrighi. All of the group's albums are superb.
Here's the full album without ad interruptions...
