Born in Argentina, saxophonist and flutist Hector "Costita" Bisignani arrived to Brazil in the late 1950s and in the following years played with some of the biggest names of the era such as Joao Donato, Manfredo Fest and Sérgio Mendes. In 1964 he recorded "Impacto" with his sextet, an explosive mix of tough jazz and Brazilian samba widely considered his best work.

Hector Costita Sexteto's Impacto, originally released in 1964. By the mid-1960s, samba and bossa nova were the exotic hip sounds of the time. João Gilberto had gained international popularity by blending American jazz and samba, and Sérgio Mendes was about to reach the Billboard Top 5 a few times. Hector "Costita" Bisignani had arrived to Brazil a few years earlier from his native Argentina, where he started to play saxophone influenced by local legend Lalo Schifrin. This album is killer. Hector Costita would later stop recording music for quite a few years, working as a sideman for many artists such as Elis Regina and Wilson Simonal and as a music teacher at CLAM, a Brazilian music school founded by Zimbo Trio. Thankfully he would return to the studio in 1981 to continue his brilliant solo career.
