Ao longo de seis décadas de carreira, o baterista João Palma gravou discos históricos com Sergio Mendes (inclusive o mega-hit "Mas Que Nada"), Antonio Carlos Jobim (com quem fez a gravação original de "Águas de Março", além dos álbuns "Stone Flower", "Tide", "Urubu" e "Matita Perê"), Frank Sinatra, Paul Desmond, Milton Nascimento, Walter Wanderley, Egberto Gismonti, Michael Franks, Ithamara Koorax, Astrud Gilberto, Stanley Turrentine e muitos outros. Era um dos bateristas prediletos de arranjadores como Claus Ogerman, Don Sebesky e Eumir Deodato, tendo feito muitas gravações também ao lado de Herbie Hancock e Ron Carter. Esta brilhante trajetória é relembrada por Arnaldo DeSouteiro - seu amigo pessoal, e com quem trabalhou em dezenas de shows e gravações - neste podcast da série "Legião Estrangeira", produzida pelo site Na Agulha do Vinil.

The legendary Brazilian drummer João Palma recorded fabulous recordings with Sergio Mendes (the smash hit "Mas Que Nada" and the albums "Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66", "Equinox", "Look Around"), Antonio Carlos Jobim (the original version of "Waters of March" plus the albums "Tide", "Stone Flower", "Matita Perê" and "Urubu"), Frank Sinatra ("Sinatra & Company"), Paul Desmond ("Bridge Over Troubled Water"), Milton Nascimento ("Courage"), Walter Wanderley ("When It Was Done", "Moondreams"), Egberto Gismonti ("Água & Vinho"), Michael Franks ("Sleeping Gypsy"), Ithamara Koorax ("Love Dance", "IK Sings Getz/Gilberto"), Astrud Gilberto ("Gilberto With Turrentine"), Stanley Turrentine ("The Sugar Man") and many others. He often recorded alongside Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter on many of those sessions, and became one of the favorite drummers of such arrangers as Claus Ogerman, Don Sebesky and Eumir Deodato. The record producer and NARAS-Grammy voting member Arnaldo DeSouteiro, Palma's friend for over four decades, discusses his brilliant career on this podcast.
