I know several fans of Dick Farney and this post is dedicated to all of them, but there is a special one, a Loronixer, that I want to mention, which is cvllos. If Dick Farney fans decide to name a leader, cvllos would be the one. I know very well the modus operandi of a fan and I’m wondering cvllos surprise in the morning when opening Loronix with this wonderful and very hard to find Dick Farney album, which is my choice for the last post today.

This is Dick Farney e Seu Trio – Dick Farney no Waldorf (1960), for Odeon. I’m only a little bit disappointed with this cover artwork, on my dreams, this cover had a beautiful photo of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in the night with lights and the name of Dick Farney on yellow. In the other hand, the music is much better than the soundtrack of my dreams with Dick Farney performing a repertoire based on the songs he played during one-year season at Waldorf Astoria, 1957. Dick Farney Trio members were not credited.

Tracks include:

01 – These Foolish Things (J. Strachey)
02 – Jeepers Creepers (H. Warren / J. Mercer)
03 – Over The Rainbow (Harold Arlen / E. Y. Harburg)
04 – All Of Me (S. Simons / G. Marks)
05 – You Took Advantage Of Me (R. Rodgers / L. Hart)
06 – You Stepped Out Of a Dream (G. Kahn / N. H. Brown)
07 – Moonlight Becames You (V. Heusen / J. Burke)
08 – Lullaby Of Birdland (G. Shearing / B. Y. Forster)
09 – Waldorf Blues (Dick Farney)
10 – Não Tem Solução (Dorival Caymmi / Carlos Guinle)

cvllos on Friday, 13 July, 2007Zeca, pequeno reparo: nao foi “in the morning” mas às 2:45! Repito, vc e Caetano que têm nos proporcionado tantas alegrias, ao recuperar obras musicais inacessiveis merecem uma homenagem pública por esse trabalho de resgate. Nao tenho, simplesmente, palavras para lhes agradecer.

cvllos on Friday, 13 July, 2007Gente, pela manhã, outro de meus Mestres, Mestre Llulla, Luiz Carlos Antunes informou-me dos componentes do trio: Mario Augusto, Baixo, e Cláudio Slom na bateria.

Perguntinha para pensar: será que o super Cole Porter viu esse show? Durante muito tempo, ele morou no Waldorf, um dos hotéis mais luxuosos de NY.
