Hello, good evening! I said yesterday that I would be breaking today the series of posts from the 1970′s decade with something very old. I’m paying my bill with the oldest album I could find here, from 1955.

I love the records made by Musidisc in the 1950′s. The artwork is ahead of that time and was probably made by a single person since the style is unique and very easy to identify.

Who is this artist? This is something we can ask to Jorge Mello, just visiting his new website, featuring his writing and Brazilian music vintage pictures never seen before. You can reach the new Jorge Mello’s website athttp://jorgecarvalhodemello.blogspot.com.
Let’s see.

This is No Mundo do Samba | Volume 1 (1955), for Musidisc, a compilation of Samba tunes performed by artists from Musidisc cast, featuring Leo Peracchi, Trio Surdina, Britinho, Djalma Ferreira, Roberto Luna and an artist that I never heard before, Rud Wharton, which is probably a well-known musician recording by Musidisc under a nickname.

Tracks include:

01 – Gafieira (Djalma Ferreira) Djalma Ferreira
02 – Você É Tormento (Nilo Sergio / Garoto) Leo Peracchi e Orquestra 03 – Vingança (Lupicínio Rodrigues) Trio Surdina
04 – Dora (Dorival Caymmi) Rud Wharton
05 – No Tabuleiro da Baiana (Ary Barroso) Léo Peracchi e Orquestra 06 – Lilian Britinho
07 – Está Desfeito (Manezinho Araújo / David Raw / Aldacir Louro) Roberto Luna
08 – Dia de Sol (João Leal Brito ”Britinho”) – Casinha da Colina (Adpt. João Leal Brito ”Britinho”) Nova Ilusão (José Menezes / Luis Bittencourt) Britinho

Hello, good evening! As we are getting older, it seems the time goes faster. This album was first released at Loronix in August 2006. It is a lot of time, we are very close to reach 2009, but from my perspective, this album was made available a couple of months ago

Geraldo Vandré – Canto Geral (1968)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 09 de Dezembro 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good evening! I need energy this week, we are about to release a new website, which is the first Brazilian instrumental music encyclopedia, something already spoken here at Loronix.
This is the final week; the website is schedule to go live next Monday and these days should be really busy down here.

Meanwhile, it is important to keep Loronix updated, but the announcement of our last 700 hundred albums donator needs to be postponed once again. It is an extremely important contribution that needs to be formally addressed with all the necessary bells and whistles.

There is also a very important event today that I Loronix will be missing, which is Antonio Carlos Jobim 14th years passing in 8th December 1994. This is a really important date and I will make a special post in the forthcoming days.

Anyway, let’s make this album, the second contribution by our so far mysterious friend. Let’s rock!

This is Geraldo Vandre – Canto Geral (1968), for Odeon, featuring the participation of Trio Maraya delivering vocals, instrumental arrangements, vocal arrangements and their typical instruments playing, such like queixada-de-burro, ca-chi-chi and viola. According with Luiz Americo and his 100 Discos Fundamentais compilation, this is the most politically engaged Geraldo Vandre album, released in a time where Brazil was about to enter on the hardest period of the military dictatorship with the release of AI-5. You can check Luiz Americo review at this link. By the way, Canto Geral is listed at Luiz Americo website as one of the 100 essential Brazilian popular music albums.

Tracks include:

01 – Terra Plana (Geraldo Vandré)
02 – Companheira (Geraldo Vandré)
03 – Maria Rita (Geraldo Vandré)
04 – De Serra de Terra e de Mar (Geraldo Vandré / Theo de Barros / Hermeto Pascoal)
05 – Cantiga Brava (Geraldo Vandré)
06 – Ventania (De Como Um Homem Perdeu Seu Cavalo e Continuou Andando) (Geraldo Vandré / Hilton Accioli)
07 – O Plantador (Geraldo Vandré / Hilton Accioli)
08 – João e Maria (Geraldo Vandré / Hilton Accioli)
09 – Arueira (Geraldo Vandré)
10 – Guerrilheira (Geraldo Vandré / Hilton Accioli)

Luiz Americo escreveu:
“O maior expoente dessa canção arrebatadora e que criticava abertamente o regime foi Geraldo Vandré, artista típico de uma geração contestadora e que sabia muito bem qual o seu papel na sociedade e a importância da mensagem que a sua arte tinha para fazer valer seus direitos de cidadão livre em face de uma repressão contínua, aliando a tudo isso os graves problemas de ordem social, política e econômica em que vivia o país.”

Vandré foi a última voz a Gritar por Liberdade, e esse album é a melhor prova dessa necessidade engasgada.

Hello, good evening! Mr. Jose Ignacio Neto, kindly known as JIN, the third generation of the Ignacio’s family, a family devoted to Brazilian music, and also the owner and maintainer of the legendary “A Volta” Podcast, is back to Loronix.

JIN brings fantastic contributions this time, which includes a great “surprise to zeca”, an unknown album that JIN guarantees it is something never heard before by many friends. Stay tuned in the forthcoming days.

Let’s see.

This is Manfredo Fest – After Hours (1972), for Daybreak, featuring Manfredo Fest piano backed by a group of American musicians. JIN wants to start great and I agree this is a great start. Manfredo Fest is one of the most requested artists by Loronix community. He was a Bossa Nova pioneer in Brazil and had also a very solid career in the US, where he made his move in the mid 1960′s, invited by Sergio Mendes and never came back to Brazil. JIN also says this album is a sought after collectors piece and widely unknown in Brazil.

Tracks include: 

Personnel

Manfredo Fest
(piano)

David King
(drums)

Jay Goetting, Dick Studer
(bass)

David Karr, Ray Komishke
(flute, sax)

Jack Gillespie
(trumpet)

(trombone)

Roman Gomes
(conga, drums)

Many thanks zeca and JIN. I had seen information somewhere about this album a few years ago, but I’ve never heard the recording. Manfredo is still missed… a wonderful pianist.

oh what a smooth album! Thanks JIN for the upload! These recordings are just full of cool. I absolutely love the break down at the end of ‘Theme From Love Story’.

I don’t know much about Brazilian music, but this album is amazing! Thank you!

Most of what i have heard from Manfredo’s work sounded catching in seconds.

Radamés Gnattali – Radamés Gnattali (1984)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 18 de Novembro 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.






Hello, good evening! I’m not a big fan of piano solo albums; they use to be very complex, requiring a lot of concentration until you understand everything. I’m not taking in consideration this is a piano solo album played by one of the greatest Brazilian musicians ever. If I took it for a spin without knowing this is Radames Gnattali, I would be also really impressed about this music.

I know we had previous piano solo albums played by Radames Gnattali, but what makes the difference here is the repertoire, full of tunes that we know by heart, making easy to understand Radames Gnattali improvisation at a first hearing.

I would like to say thank you to Jorge Mello, for another fantastic contribution to Loronix.

Let’s see.

This is Radames Gnattali – Radames Gnattali (1984), for Libertas, recorded live at Sala Cecilia Meirelles, Rio de Janeiro, December 1984. I can’t remember what I was doing on December 1984, but if I could travel back to the past, I would like to be at this concert. Front cover is also worth checking out with a Radames Gnattali drawing made by the unique style of Nassara. The back cover also includes a handwriting message by Antonio Carlos Jobim, inviting Radames Gnattali to drink a “chope” with “amendoim”.



Tracks include:

01 – Carinhoso (Pixinguinha / João de Barro)
02 – Ponteio (Edu Lobo / Capinan)
03 – Preciso Aprender a Ser Só (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
04 – Corcovado (Tom Jobim)
05 – Chovendo na Roseira (Tom Jobim)
06 – Manhã de Carnaval (Luis Bonfá / Antônio Maria)
07 – Cochicho (Pixinguinha)
08 – Do Lago à Cachoeira (Sergio Ricardo)
09 – Nova Ilusão (José Menezes / Luis Bittencourt)

Jacob do Bandolim – Epoca de Ouro | Jacob e Seu Bandolim em HI-FI (1958)

.

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 11 de Novembro 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello again! Busy day at Loronix today, this is good. Before talking about this reposting, I would like to say that I received emails from friends who live outside Brazil asking for directions to purchase Charles Gavin’s book 300 Discos Importantes da Música Brasileira. My advice is to use Livraria Cultura on-line, they ship outside Brazil, in five continents, check this page to see Livraria Cultura shipping rates & policies. And good luck!

This is Jacob do Bandolim – Epoca de Ouro | Jacob e Seu Bandolim em HI-FI (1958), for RCA Victor. Jacob do Bandolim recorded this album in 1958, and it is really different from his regular choro releases. Jacob is backed by and orchestra arranged by Maestro Radames Gnatalli and Maestro Carioca with Maestro Zaccarias in charge of conduction. There is also a Conjunto, not with a traditional Choro formation, featuring bass, piano, sax and accordion performed by renowned Brazilian musicians. The first post was made with a mid 60’s RCA Candem reissue and this is the first RCA Victor original issue, featuring this beautiful cover that finally arrives at Loronix.

Os Cariocas – Minha Namorada (1990)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 06 de Novembro 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good evening! I found this album on one of those old vinyl shops in Rio, and I always thought it was just a compilation with tracks taken from previous albums.

If I knew this is the first album recorded by Os Cariocas after a 21 years hiatus, I would have made it available at Loronix earlier. Minha Namorada features a repertoire with the greatest Os Cariocas tunes. The cover brings autographs of each component, where Quartera signs in place of Luiz Roberto, who unfortunately died in this period. Confirmation is needed, but I believe this album was signed by Os Cariocas after the tragic Luiz Roberto passing.
Let’s see.

This is Os Cariocas – Minha Namorada (1990), for Som Livre. It is unbelievable this album is out of print. The recording quality is amazing and I really recommend that you take good headphones to hear the sophisticated vocal arrangements made by Severino Filho. Os Cariocas is really a unique and very special vocal group.

Tracks include:
 

Personnel

Severino Filho
(piano, 1st voice, arrangements)

Badeco
(violao, 2nd voice)

Luiz Roberto
(bass, 3rd voice)

Quartera
(drums, 4th voice)

Track List

01 – Minha Namorada (Carlos Lyra / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 – Samba do Avião (Tom Jobim)
03 – Tema Para Lúcia (Severino Filho)
04 – Samba da Pergunta (Pingarilho / Marcos Vasconcellos)
05 – Você e Eu (Carlos Lyra / Vinicius de Moraes)
06 – Ela É Carioca (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
07 – Wave (Tom Jobim)
08 – Preciso Aprender a Ser Só (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
09 – Samba de Verão (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
10 – Águas de Março (Tom Jobim)

Codó – Coisas da Minha Terra (1978)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 31 de Outubro 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good evening! This is another awesome contribution sponsored by Jorge Mello, featuring – forgive me if I’m wrong – the last album recorded by the Brazilian guitarist Codo, a very important musician acknowledged by many others, such like Elizeth Cardoso and Baden Powell, who wrote a tune dedicated to Codo, Um Abraco no Codo, released on Baden Powell’s 27 Horas de Estudio (1969), Elenco.

Let’s see.

This is Codo – Coisas da Minha Terra (1978), for CID, a beautiful celebration to Codo’s music. Codo is backed by a constellation of Brazilian musicians, including Sivuca (also in charge of arrangements), Wilson das Neves, Dino 7 Cordas, Copinha, Neco, Paulo Moura, among many others.

Coisas da Minha Terra works under two different concepts.

Side A is all instrumental and brings an interview with Codo between the four tracks with the participation of Sergio Cabral, Sivuca and Antonio Mascarenhas.
Side B has lyrics with Codo singing, playing and supported by a choir, including Jaime Alem and Nair Candia. Elizeth Cardoso is the special guest on Side A second track, Indecisa Aurora (Codo / Itamar Souza e Silva). Coisas da Minha Terra should address wants and needs of everybody with these two different approaches.

Tracks include:

Luiz on Tuesday, 04 November, 2008
Valeu mesmo por este, Zecalouro! Vc saberia dizer se o Codó chegou a gravar uma valsa dele chamada “Leninha” (ou “Valsa para Lená”), já gravada algumas vezes pelo Paulo Moura? Há muito tempo procuro ouvir a gravação original dessa música, não sei mais onde procurar. Um grande abraço. Luiz, de Santos-SP.

zecalouro on Tuesday, 04 November, 2008
Luiz, obrigado pelo comentário, já estava ficando aflito com o Codó sem comentários.

Procurei o que conheço da discografia do Codó e não achei nenhum registro dessa canção, seja ela Leninha ou Valsa para Lená.
Vamos aguardar, quem sabe um dia aparece.
Abraços, zeca

Luiz on Saturday, 08 November, 2008
Zeca, obrigado pela atenção. O Paulo Moura realmente descobre umas coisas, no samba e no choro, que ninguém conhece. Grande abraço!

Mauricio Jeronymo on Tuesday, 31 March, 2009
Olá a todos. Meu nome é Mauricio de Brito, sou neto do violonista e compositor Codó.
Fico feliz em saber que ainda está viva a memória de meu avô.
Tenho reunido algum material, e creio que em breve teremos mais material sobre o Mestre Codó da Bahia. Nacional e free!
Grande abraço a todos!
