Edison dos Santos Machado (January 31, 1934 - September 15, 1990) was a self-taught Brazilian drummer and composer. Through his creation of the samba no prato (samba on the cymbals) and his early recordings, he helped shape Brazilian samba and bossa nova.[1] Throughout his life, he collaborated frequently with a variety of musicians including Chet Baker and Ron Carter and was recorded in over 50 albums until his sudden death in 1990.[2][3] Despite the impact he made as one of the founders of bossa nova his name has been largely forgotten.[4]
