Message from Benny Carter to Radamés, dated 20/04/1961. California, USA.
Mr. Radamés, Laurindo was kind enough to play for me his Brasiliana nº 7, performed by you and Mr. and Mrs. Radamés. Sandoval. I hope to hear more of your wonderful music, and perhaps someday have the pleasure of hearing and meeting you in person. With fondest regards to a musician of rare ability. Sinceramente, Benny Carter’. (arquivo HBC/MIS – Rio de Janeiro)
