Comentários originais incluídos.

I like Francis Hime, although I’m not versed on his vast discography, being only a careful listener of the albums available at Loronix, Francis Hime – Francis Hime (1973), a masterpiece and Francis Hime – Se Porem Fosse Portanto (1978). Francis Hime is a gifted musician, arranger, composer and singer and uses to deliver all this elements on his albums, which is his strength.

This is Francis Hime – Sonho de Moco (1981), for Som Livre, featuring the very special guest Maria Hime, the vocal group Boca Livre and Milton Nascimento. Francis Hime debut LP is really hard to beat, but this one really worth the attention.

Personnel listing features a constellation of musicians, including Wilson das Neves, Jacques Morellenbaun, Nelson Angelo, Novelli, Chico Batera, Ed Maciel, Neco, Dino 7 Cordas, Formiga, Marcio Montarroyos, Maurilio da Silva Santos, Robertinho Silva, Oberdan, Luiz Alves, among many others. I’m asking the excellent Discos do Brasil for help with personnel listing.

Tracks include:

01 – A Tarde (Francis Hime / Olivia Hime)
02 – Lua de Cetim (Francis Hime / Olivia Hime) - Maria Hime
03 – Patuscada (Francis Hime / Cacaso) - Boca Livre
04 – Luar (Francis Hime / Olivia Hime)
05 – Hora e Lugar (Francis Hime / Cacaso)
06 – Luis (Francis Hime / Nelson Ângelo)
07 – Homem Feito (Francis Hime / Milton Nascimento) - Milton Nascimento
08 – Amor Barato (Francis Hime / Chico Buarque)
09 – Doce Vida (Francis Hime / Toquinho)
10 – O Farol (Francis Hime / Milton Nascimento)
11 – Cachoeira (Francis Hime)
12 – Sonho de Moço (Francis Hime / Milton Nascimento)

Hello,
I’ve got a random comment and one random question. First, I knew very little about Brazilian music before stumbling onto your blog a few months ago. I’ve been an ardent follower ever since. You’ve introduced me to some beautiful new music and I’m much appreciative. Second, I was looking at Discos do Brasil and, just wondering, what is the song that plays as their website opens??
Thanks,
Jon

Laurindo Almeida and Charlie Byrd – Brazilian Soul (1981)

Although zecalouro lives around guitars and basses, it is a false statement to say that zecalouro he is a musician. If you are beginning your career as a musician, take care of records like this Brazilian Soul, with Laurindo Almeida and Charlie Byrd (1981).

Stay away if you don’t want to listen to music that your will never be good enough to reach their level of playing, big issue for zecalouro.

Run to the cashier if you are confident and want to listen to something that will be your reference for many years.

Brazilian Soul is the first release out of 4 between Laurindo Almeida and the legendary Charlie Byrd, making a quartet on this one with Bob Magnusson (bass) and Milt Holland (percussion). There are nice melodies and high quality guitar techniques that should be rewarding for musician and fans.

The set is full of Bossa Nova classics from Jobim and Brazilian classical pieces. The song Don’t Cry for me Argentina closes the set and seems to be out of place, but works fine.

This is Laurindo Almeida and Charlie Byrd – Brazilian Soul (1981) for Concord Picante

Tracklist:

1. Carioca (Ernesto Nazareth)
2. Naquele Tempo (Alfredo Vianna)
3. Cochichando (Alfredo Vianna)
4. Luperce (Luperce Miranda)
5. Famoso (Ernesto Nazareth)
6. Choro II
7. Brazilian Soul
8. Stone Flower (Antonio Carlos Jobim)
9. For Jeff (Charlie Byrd)
10. Don't Cry for Me Argentina (from "Evita") (Tim Rice / Andrew Lloyd Webber)

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)

Pedro Paulo Castro Neves & Michel Legrand – Pedro Paulo Castro Neves & Michel Legrand (1985)

.

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 26 de dezembro 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.

I think this album is of a great curiosity, at least it is the feedback given for a group of friends since I started showing them a couple of days ago. I think it is also widely unknown for many people, even for fans of Michel Legrand.

Being open and honest, little I know about Michel Legrand and All Music says he is a French composer, arranger, musician that made his fame writing for films, being an occasional Jazz artists, with a significant contribution in the style. Pedro Paulo Castro Neves is Oscar Castro Neves brother, and this album is his debut LP as a singer.

Let’s see.

This is Pedro Paulo Castro Neves & Michel Legrand – Pedro Paulo Castro Neves & Michel Legrand (1985), for Pointer, featuring a repertoire based on Brazilian standards with Michel Legrand, Oscar Castro Neves, Guinga and Egberto Gismonti compositions. Reading liner notes written by Michel Legrand, it is clear he plays the role of Pedro Paulo Castro Neves mentor, making arrangements, playing piano and making a duet with Pedro Paulo, performing nice scats on 05 – Canto de Ossanha – Berimbau by Baden Powell and Vinicius de Moraes. Recorded in Brazil, the session had great musicians, such as Lilian Carmona, Zeca Assumpcao and the legendary Joao Parayba from Trio Mocoto.

Tracks include:

Michel Legrand is undoubtedly the greatest french composer who’s still alive today. his palmares is outstanding: he signed the famous music for movies “the thomas crown affair”, “les demoiselles de rochefort”, “les parapluies de cherbourg”, “peau d’âne” and countless other absolutely blinding scores, including many musicals. i am extremely surprised (almost shocked!) that he seems not much known in your spheres, as he’s been internationnaly reknown since at least 20 years. his characteristic is to be an all-terrain composer, with an extremely wide range of styles, but he’s adding his own very particular touch every time, that can be identified after a few notes only. he’s also a huge jazz piano player who’ve played with the greatest artists on earth, including miles davis and lalo schifrin. he’s probably the last living giant. thanks for this post.

I’ve always been most curiou about this pairing: how did it come to pass that Pedro Paulo Castro Neves came to making a really late debut album with such a genius of the world of arranging? And what else has P.P. Castro Neves done ?

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 10 de dezembro 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good evening! Let’s start today with something really unique a tribute album recorded in 1984 in homage for a very important Brazilian popular music artist, which is Sivan Castelo Neto, father of the singer and composer Vera Brasil and the journalist Berto Filho.

In spite of being of a great importance on the development of several different aspects of Brazilian communication and entertainment industry, Sivan Castelo Neto is unknown for many people. He was the first to record jingles in Brazil, being also a gifted musician, recording more than 3,000 jingles at his own recording studio.This album was produced by Berto Filho and Hugo Marotta and had the sponsorship of Petrobras, never being commercially available, a nice surprise sent by the great cvllos, featuring the participation of renowned Brazilian musicians on tracks never released before, such as: Luiz Eça, Tito Madi, Mauricio Einhorn, Helena de Lima, among many others.
Let’s see.

This is Sivan Castelo Neto – 60 Anos de Musica (1984), featuring two records, the first with music composed by Sivan Castelo Neto and performed by a constellation of special guests, and the second (Depoimentos) with Testimonials and jingles by Sivan Castelo Neto, which is very interesting for the friends who understand Portuguese and appreciate old jingles. This album was found by cvllos on a really bad condition and I decided to include the back cover with no image processing.

Tracks include:

Personnel

Alda Regina Duboc, Alexandre Almeida, Emma F. P. Barros, Hedys Marotta, Jose Alberto Paes, Junk S. Paes, Sergio Simoes, Vera Lucia B. Barreto, Marcio Lott, Mauricio Duboc, Zeze Gonzaga

Comentários originais incluídos.

Forma & Elenco is a radio show broadcasted every Saturday on Brazilian radio and Internet streaming. I know there are many radios and many shows in Brazil. However, Forma & Elenco is really special, it is all about Bossa Nova and it is produced and presented by Leo Ribeiro Jr., a great Loronixer. Loronix and Forma & Elenco are connected; Leo uses to make the show agenda based on the music available at Loronix. Additionally, Leo does not miss the chance to make beautiful statements about Loronix, mentioning zecalouro and several other Loronix friends.

   I urge Loronixers to join Leo on his show, every Saturday at 7pm with a new broadcast in the following day, Sunday at 11am, Brazilian time. Forma & Elenco Radio streams the show at http://www.fm107rc.com.br/

The tireless Leo Ribeiro Jr. has also established a website with my great friend Martoni from The Netherlands, which is the owner and maintainer of Radio Forma & Elenco blog,http://www.martoni-formaeelenco.blogspot.com, with everything about the show, including audio from past programs in case you miss one. Congratulations Leo and Martoni for this great new resource.

Leo delivers Loronix agenda today, providing this beautiful and pretty unknown Dom Salvador album. Dom Salvador and Leo Ribeiro Jr. are friends and share something in common; they were born in the city of Rio Claro, in the middle of Sao Paulo state, as indicated at the yellow arrow at the map in your left.

Dom Salvador was nominated Cidadao Hemerito of Rio Claro city in June 2007, being there to receive his nomination and also give a concert. Guess who was there with Dom Salvador? Leo Ribeiro Jr. that recorded this interview with this legendary musician sending the whole audio as a gift to our community. Thanks Leo. You can hear the whole show with Dom Salvador participation downloading the audio at this link, Forma & Elenco Especial – Dom Salvador.

This is Dom Salvador Quartet – Rio Claro Suite (1984), with all music except for Farofa Amarela composed and arranged by Dom Salvador. I think Loronixers will be surprise by the chance to hear this really unknown Dom Salvador album, recorded in the US with the accompaniment of great musicians.

Arthur Moreira Lima – Com Licenca… (1981)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 20 de outubro 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Since I started Loronix I have been thinking about posting this album. Being open and honest, I decided on making it today in response of the feedback given to the last Arthur Moreira Lima release, the first at Loronix, a contribution by AdHoc, the contributor that really rocks. AdHoc contribution was the first album recorded by Arthur Moreira Lima, totally dedicated to Ernest Nazareth compositions.

This time, Arthur delivers a completely different record, less formal and featuring compositions by popular Brazilian artists, such like: Paulo Moura, Laercio de Freitas, Elomar, Heraldo do Monte, among others. Let’s see.

This is Arthur Moreira Lima – Com Licenca… (1981), for Kuarup, a piano solo album recorded at Sala Cecilia Meirelles, Rio de Janeiro. According with the back cover, there was no audience and Sala Cecilia Meirelles was used by the acoustics. I would like to post a video, but my searches for a single one had failured. It is disappointing, when I was young, it was common to watch Arthur Moreira Lima performances on Brazilian TV and seems that nobody recorded a single one. Arthur Moreira Lima said that a musician called Mestre Horondino Silva has an important participation at Subindo ao Ceu giving hints on how make the “baixaria” (bass lines). Horondino Silva is also known as Dino 7 Cordas, a great Brazilian musician that never had a chance of recording a solo LP.

Tracks include:

01 – Flor Amorosa (Joaquim Callado)
02 – La Brésilienne (Henrique Alves de Mesquita)
03 – Despertar da Montanha (Eduardo Souto)
04 – Fandangoso (Laércio de Freitas)
05 – Carinhoso (Pixinguinha)
06 – Gaúcho (Chiquinha Gonzaga)
07 – Mão Esquerda (Paulo Moura)
08 – Subindo ao Céu (Aristides Borges)
09 – O Cabo Pitanga (Laércio de Freitas)
10 – Seresta Sertaneza (Elomar)
11 – Chuva Morna (Heraldo do Monte)

Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo – Lagoa da Canoa, Municipio de Arapiraca (1984)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 19 de outubro 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Someone said here a great thing about Hermeto Pascoal, it was a Loronixer, I cannot remember whom. He said Hermeto was the real Brazilian music ambassador, it is a very nice statement and I totally agree.

AdHoc, the frequent FLAC contributor sent this album in a very good timing, taking advantage of the last Airto Moreira post with participation of Hermeto Pascoal.

 

Let’s see.

This is Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo – Lagoa da Canoa, Municipio de Arapiraca (1984), for Som da Gente, featuring Hermeto Pascoal and the constellation of top-notch musicians assembled as “Grupo”, which is Hermeto Pascoal as I like most.

AdHoc sent to us a 1992 CD reissue with a different cover and some additional tracks not included in the first vinyl issue. I can’t decide which cover I like most; Hermeto Pascoal photos are always amazing.

What a nice album, it was a surprise to hear 04 – Papagaio Alegre with Hermeto e Grupo making on recording something that I use to do with zecalouro for leisure; they mix a parrot talking with the music. I’m thinking about recording some cuts with zecalouro to show Loronixers. Meanwhile, stay with this truly amazing Lagoa da Canoa, Municipio de Arapicara, which is the name of city where Hermeto Pascoal was born (Lagoa da Canoa), later changed to Municipio de Arapiraca.

Tracks include:

Personnel

Hermeto Pascoal
(flute, picolo, piano, harmonica, accordion, guitar, clarinet, oboe, sax, cavaquinho, etc.)

Jovino Santos Neto
(piano, keyboards)

Carlos Malta
(flute, sax tenor, sax soprano)

Itibere Zwarg
(bass, tuba)

Marcio Bahia
(drums, percussion)

Pernambuco
(percussion)

Track List

01 – Ilza na Feijoada (Hermeto Pascoal)
02 – Santa Catarina (Hermeto Pascoal)
03 – Tiruliruli (Hermeto Pascoal)
04 – Papagaio Alegre (Hermeto Pascoal)
05 – Vai Mais Garotinho (Hermeto Pascoal)
06 – Monte Santo (Hermeto Pascoal)
07 – Casa de Farinha (Hermeto Pascoal)
08 – Spock na Escada (Hermeto Pascoal)
09 – Mestre Radames (Hermeto Pascoal)
10 – Aquela Coisa (Hermeto Pascoal)
11 – Frevo em Maceio (Hermeto Pascoal)
12 – Desencontro Certo (Hermeto Pascoal / Joao Ba)

For fans of Hermeto Pascoal, be sure to check out ‘The Happiness Project’ by Charles Spearin. Charles interviewed his neighbours on the subject of happiness and used their vocal inflections to create a truly unconventional yet beautiful album.
There is a great video work of his project on his website, be sure to check it out!http://www.happiness-project.ca

Here we go on the second contribution by SOJAZZ (http://www.sojazz.org.br/), a group of friends that get together as a club to exchange information and promote Jazz and Brazilian music. The friends of SOJAZZ work together even for making contributions to Loronix. I have some kind technical info about this album that I’m making available bellow. Additionally, it’s necessary to say that SOJAZZ understand the business and their contributions are made under technical and quality criterion. Let’s see.

This is Marcio Montarroyos e Orquestra – Piston Internacional (1981), for Som Livre. According with SOJAZZ, this is a very rare album and is one of they like most from Marcio Montarroyos discography. I made my searches to learn more about Piston Internacional and I could not go beyond SOJAZZ info. I’m also surprised that Marcio Montarroyos official website does not list this album on his discography. In spite of the title, Piston Internacional features a repertoire with Brazilian and International standards and SOJAZZ credits for this contribution goes to Gabriel (external affairs), Benutti (vinyl transfer) and Seogcg (archiving).

01 – Stormy Wheather (Harold Arlen / Ted Koehler)
02 – Maria (Luís Peixoto / Ary Barroso)
03 – Stardust (Hoagy Carmichael / Mitchell Parish)
04 – Carinhoso (Pixinguinha / João de Barro)
05 – As Times Goes By (Herman Hupfield)
06 – No Rancho Fundo (Ary Barroso / Lamartine Babo)
07 – Da Cor do Pecado (Bororó)

This night was very special and deserves to be closed with a special artist. Sivuca is a very special artist; he is part of a group of a few selected artists that everybody likes. Every Sivuca album I spin makes me feel better, saving those days that you are not in the mood of anything. Today is not the case, but as I said, it is a special day.

This is Sivuca – Vou Vida Afora (1982), for Copacabana, featuring the very special guest Quarteto em Cy on tracks 04 – Imaginacao and 07 – Arapua Fazendo Mel and Lucinha Lins on track 09 – Bailado, featuring arrangements by Ivan Lins. Such like the last Copacabana Sivuca album from 1979, Sivuca sings, which is something unique from my perspective. Personnel listing was not delivered by Copacabana, but Sivuca plays accordion in all tracks, including the instrumental tracks 05, 06 and 10.

Tracks include:

01 – Forró da Bicharada (Sivuca / Paulinho Tapajós)
02 – Vou Vida Afora (Sivuca)
03 – Sonho de Neve (Sivuca / Paulinho Tapajós)
04 – Imaginação (Sivuca / Afonso Gadelha / Ana Maria Duveen) with Quarteto Em Cy
05 – Bate Tome Toca e Cai (Sivuca / Glória Gadelha)
06 – Coisas (Moacir Santos)
07 – Arapuã Fazendo Mel (Sivuca / Paulinho Tapajós) with Quarteto Em Cy
08 – Nunca Mais Eu Vi Esperança (Sivuca / Glória Gadelha)
09 – Bailado (Sivuca / Paulinho Tapajós) with Lucinha Lins
10 – Fim de Leilão (Julinho do Acordeom)

An album that even accordion haters would like. It’s amazing how effective the synthesizer sounds next to the accordion. Very nice.

Hello, good evening! A friend that left his nick with a nice comment sent this album. However, he did not leave and email and I don’t know if he wants to be identified with the alias he uses. He sent a really nice contribution, the third on the new FLAC format, featuring a very important artist that never had a chance to be introduced to our community, the Brazilian pianist Arthur Moreira Lima. Let’s see.

This is Arthur Moreira Lima – Arthur Moreira Lima Plays Tangos & Waltzes of Ernesto Nazareth (1982), for Intersound, recorded September 13-15, 1982, at the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters on the Steinway CD 372 piano. 

Thanks to the now revealed AdHoc for this info. Arthur Moreira Lima is worldwide acclaimed as one of the best Frederic Chopin interpreters, being also a successful popular music artist. It is hard to write this in English, Arthur Moreira Lima is the kind of guy that everybody would like to meet in the end of the day at Copacanana to drink some beers, a very cool character and also one of the most renowned tricolores (friends who support Fluminense Football Club, a soccer team in Rio de Janeiro).
His works in the field of popular music includes his association with Paulo Moura, Elomar, Heraldo do Monte, Conjunto Epoca de Ouro, Ney Matogrosso, Rafael Rabello and Ernesto Nazareth, which is a very popular Brazilian composer that had a profound influence on the course of Brazilian music, such like Heitor Villa Lobos. I urge Loronixers to send feedback on this anthological record where once again classical music meets popular music.

Tracks include:

01 – Odeon (Ernesto Nazareth)
02 – Escorregando (Ernesto Nazareth)
03 – Duvidoso (Ernesto Nazareth)
04 – Eponina (Ernesto Nazareth)
05 – Batuque (Ernesto Nazareth)
06 – Fon-Fon (Ernesto Nazareth)
07 – Confidencias (Ernesto Nazareth)
08 – Famoso (Ernesto Nazareth)
09 – Mercedes (Ernesto Nazareth)
10 – Vem Ca, Branquinha (Ernesto Nazareth)
11 – Apanhei-te, Cavaquinho (Ernesto Nazareth)
12 – Brejeiro (Ernesto Nazareth)
13 – Bambino (Ernesto Nazareth)
14 – Sarambeque (Ernesto Nazareth)
15 – Carioca (Ernesto Nazareth)

Zeca,
This album was recorded in New York in 1982, following (or during) a concert at the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. It’s not the Marcus Pereira recording of 1977.
I forgot to send you my email when I dropped this post in your big box. I’ll do it with the next one.
Cheers.

For those who liked this stuff, just a reminder that there’s more of it. Arthur Moreira Lima also recorded two double Lps for “Discos Marcus Pereira” label in 1975 and 1977 with 49 piano pieces of Ernesto Nazareth. They were later released as 4 individual CDs that are rare, but still can be found at Amazon or CD Point (Arthur Moreira Lima interpreta Ernesto Nazareth vol 1-4). To say that Moreira Lima’s playing and these recordings are amazing is an understatement. They’re “desert island list” and “best of bests, anytime, anywhere, any-kind-of music” items. Nazareth’s pieces, specially the “tangos” (nowadays we would call them “choros”), are Chopin meets Africa (via habaneras), and are absolutely essential for understanding the roots of Brazilian music. Nazareth wrote some 200 piano pieces (tangos, waltzes, polkas, mazurkas…; see complete list here:http://www.chiquinhagonzaga.com/nazareth/). Sadly, the large majority of these pieces have never, ever been recorded. I still hope that Moreira Lima will come back to this music, recording all of it in the original piano piece form as published by Nazareth himself. My second best hope is that a young and talented pianist in Brazil (there are many) gives it a try, para o bem de todos e a felicidade geral da nação. Hey, people at Biscoito Fino, Trama and Kuarup Records, what are you waiting for?

Dear adhoc,
You said “Sadly, the large majority of these pieces have never, ever been recorded. “. I’d like to take the chance and tell you (and everyone) of the series I’m recording focusing Ernesto Nazareth’ rare pieces. We’re at the 29th consecutive week, and virtually all of the pieces had never been recorded on its original piano solo version.http://www.sovacodecobra.com.br/2007/03/ernesto-nazareth-inedito/
Cheers,
Alexandre Dias

Caro Alexandre Dias,
Muitíssimo obrigado pela indicação do sovaco de cobra.
Que bela iniciativa a gravação da obra de Ernesto Nazareth; forma e conteúdo primorosos.
Espero que você consiga comercializar ou tornar disponíveis essas gravações em um formato sem compressão. Elas merecem ser divulgadas com a melhor qualidade de som possível.
Um grande abraço de seu mais novo freguês de caderno.

Ai Zeca, uma vez mais muito, muito agradecida. De não ter sido por seu link de os Choros, o título de este post não teria chamada minha atenção nem estivesse desfrutando de esta preciosidade de música. Brasil é muito mais que somente Samba e Bossa Nova e os brasileiros tudos deveriam sentirse muito, muito orgulhosos de tão amplia e bela riqueza cultural e musical que vocês tem. Quis dizer esto com grande respeito e carinho e espero que assim seja entendido.
Sem importar quantas vezes eu agradeça a quem tenha que agradecer, sempre estarei em dívida. Abraços,
Nina
