Billy Blanco & Radamés Gnattali - Doutores em Samba (1958)

.

.

Encontro histórico   

Em 1958, o cantor Paulo Marques fez um LP só com músicas de Billy Blanco. O engenheiro de gravação Umberto Contardi convenceu Billy de colocar voz nas bases instrumentais gravadas por Radamés Gnattali. Só para registro informal, já que João Gilberto ainda não havia revolucionado o padrão "vozeirão" da Era do Rádio. A gravação ficou “na gaveta” até 1996.

Isto é Billy Blanco & Radamés Gnattali - Doutores em Samba (1958)

Sebastião Tapajós – Violão & Amigos (1979)

.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 14 de abril 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Sebastiao Tapajos is a gifted musician. He has a classical background and started with his instrument at the age of nine, encouraged by his own father, being also his first teacher. His classical training and interest in popular music defined his style by a blend of the two schools, providing a transparent connection between the classical and popular. Sebastiao Tapajos has close to 50 albums recorded, in Brazil and outside. 

However, most of his discography is still unknown to me, his albums are hard to find, especially those recorded on vinyl and who never had a chance of a reprint on CD. Violao & Amigos is a great find.
Let’s see.

This is Sebastiao Tapajos – Violao & Amigos (1979), for RCA Victor, with the participation of Hermeto Pascoal, Paulo Moura and Mauricio Einhorn. I found this one a week ago, being sold for a ridiculous price. Since then, he has been constantly spinned. I was not able to accomplish an acceptable back cover restoration; being offered in the state it was found. I think this is a rather unknown record and I’m confident that our community will receive it with enthusiasm.

Sivan Castelo Neto – 60 Anos de Musica (1984)

.

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:

Miucha – Miucha (1989)

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 08 de outubro 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.

I would like to understand why albums like this one are released, gone out of print and being kept unknown for many people, even those who collect Brazilian music. This is another great contribution by AdHoc, a gorgeous LP recorded by Miucha for Continental in 1989 that never had a CD reissue. I admit that I never heard about this one, and probably you did not also. AdHoc transition from classical to popular was great.

This is Miucha – Miucha (1989), for Continental, featuring the very special guests Pablo Milanes at track 01 – Buenos Dias America and Miucha’s daughter Bebel Gilberto at my favorite so far, track 06 – Saudosismo (Caetano Veloso). AdHoc highlights the overall music quality, the repertoire selection, arrangements and Miucha singing, which is really awesome. There are also four very early compositions by the Brazilian guitarist Guinga in partnership with Paulo Cesar Pinheiro. AdHoc delivers nice covers scans, including personnel listing with musicians identified by track, which I will list here as a whole. Thanks Adhoc, you really Rocks!

Zeca, Miucha tem uma interpretaçao de Olhos nos Olhos, acompanhada apenas pelo Jobim que emociona! Outro trabalho excelente da mesma é o cd Compositores. Das atuais, essa é uma interprete que respeito.

Well this has been released on CD in Japan. I paid megabucks for it. I knew I should have waited. Mine has a different cover, however. It’s a painting of her, in a similar pose. Which is the original?
For me this album is especially notable for the four Guinga ineditas – it was recorded just before Guinga began his recording career, although he’d been writing songs since the early ’70s.

To pawlyshyn.
It was also released on CD in France around 1990 (apparently that’s the version posted here). Both the French and the Japanese CDs are unavailable in the major online retailers, which means that they’re out of print. As for the cover, I’ve never seen the original Brazilian LP, but Pablo Milanes who played in the album displays the “French” cover in his web site. It probably means it’s the original.
If you don’t mind my curiosity, when and where did you buy your CD and how much is “megabucks”?

Imogen:
I bought it maybe six months ago on eBbay from someone in Japan, for about US$35. (Of course, the US dollar was worth a lot more then versus the Canadian dollar. Today it doesn’t seem all that expensive!)
By the way, Zeca, my booklet includes photos and the lyrics. If you’re interested I could scan the whole thing and send it to you.

Just a footnote to zecalouro’s comments:
“Solitude” is in different mood (no wordplay) compared to the other tracks of the album. This piano and voice rendition of Duke Ellington’s standard was recorded in New York City with pianist Albert Dailey and with the legendary electronic music pioneer Wendy Carlos as sound engineer. Was it a one-song session? Or was it part of an abandoned project? Are there more songs from this session in a vault somewhere out there? Miúcha can tell.
Footnote to the footnote: Wendy Carlos was also sound engineer for João Gilberto’s 1973 LP (see Loronix post dated 8/14/2007), arguably, his best. Every sound detail is rendered with such an acute clarity that the perception of the rhythm is enhanced to the point of being almost hypnotic. This unique sound quality of João’s 1973 album stem in direct line from Wendy Carlos’ own recordings. In the late sixties and early seventies, she (well, actually he, at that point of his/her life, and under the name of Walter Carlos) recorded a series of seminal albums of electronic music in collaboration with Robert Moog, notably “Switched-On Bach”, featuring a synthesized baroque orchestra. Many other albums followed, including the OST for Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange” and “The Shining”. This music still sounds amazing. Check her web site.

I’m curious about North American jazz pianist Albert Dailey being on this. I never knew he had a “brasilian connection”. Very interesting and the only non-brasilian on the date.

Dear Mr Carter,
Albert Dailey played the piano in all tracks of “The Best of Two Worlds” (1976), the second Stan Getz / João Gilberto album (with Miucha). Actually, he played a lot with Stan Getz in the mid-70s. That’s where his Brazilian connection comes from.

Os Romanticos – Bossa Nova (No date)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 03 de outubro 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.

I think we are entering on a phase where everybody is excited to know not credited artists behind Bossa Nova albums. Caetano Rodrigues comes to bring another contribution to our community. Caetano comes with a challenge, delivering an album that I could not gather any info about. Let’s see.

This is Os Romanticos – Bossa Nova (no date), for unknown label. I’m not sure if Caetano Rodrigues knows the Brazilian label that issues Os Romanticos, otherwise, this should be the first album released at Loronix with a non-identified label. Anyway, the mystery is not finished; we don’t know who is Os Romanticos, musicians and release date.

The album features soft instrumental Bossa Nova renditions performed with percussion, bass, guitar, accordion and violin. Caetano urges Loronixers to get more information about Os Romanticos – Bossa Nova.

Tracks include:

01 – Lindos Olhos Azuis
02 – Preciso dar um Jeito
03 – Chega de Sofrer
04 – Depois do Carnaval
05 – Historia
06 – Corcovado
07 – O Amor em Paz
08 – De Mais Amor
09 – Menino Desce Dai
10 – Samba em Preludio
11 – Deixa a Nega Gingar
12 – Que Saudade

Esse disco é um relançamento do disco “Trio Surdina em Bossa Nova (1963)" aqui publicado logo antes deste album.
O disco foi um lancamento da gravadora Stereo Hi-Fi Club.
Os músicos são Waltel Branco (guitar), Chiquinho do Acordeom (accordion) e Patane (violin).

Trio Surdina – Trio Surdina em Bossa Nova (1963)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em  de novembro 2006.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Woow! That’s a great release with all the ingredients that I like. This is Trio Surdina, an instrumental trio that released more than 70 records, all released for the same record label, the legendary Musidisc of Nilo Sergio. Probably, Trio Surdina is Nilo Sergio creation since the name surdina is a joke, meaning that members cannot be revealed.

Trio Surdina members were not revealed due contract obligations with other record labels, great Musidisc idea. Obviously, they were revealed or discovered later and most of Trio Surdina recordings were made by Fafa Lemos (violin), Garoto (guitar) and Chiquinho (accordion). Garoto – Anibal Augusto Sardinha – is a renowned Brazilian guitarist.

This is Trio Surdina – Trio Surdina em Bossa Nova (1963), for Musidisc. The line-up for this Trio Surdina “edition” is Waltel Branco (guitar), Chiquinho do Acordeom (accordion) and Patane (violin). Please give me your feedback about Trio Surdina; I have earlier releases that I can share with friends in a near future.

Tracks include:

01 – Corcovado (Tom Jobim)
02 – História (Nilo Sergio)
03 – Depois do Carnaval (Silvino Júnior / Wilson Tirapelli)
04 – Chega de Sofrer (Luis Paulo / Orlann Divo)
05 – Preciso Dar Um Jeito (Silvio César)
06 – Lindos Olhos Azuis (Waltel Branco / Ivo Branco)
07 – Que Saudade (Ed Lincoln)
08 – Deixa a Nega Gingar (Luis Cláudio)
09 – Samba Em Prelúdio (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
10 – Menino Desce Daí (Paulinho Nogueira)
11 – Dê Mais Amor (Waltel Branco / Joluz)
12 – O Amor Em Paz (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)

Zeca:
Parabéns pelo achado. Só um detalhe.
Garoto (Anibal Sardinha) nasceu em São Paulo, a 28 de junho de 1915, e faleceu no Rio de
Janeiro, a 3 de maio de 1955.
Em 1952, com a formação do trio Surdina, integrado por Garoto ao violão,Chiquinho ao acordeon e Fafá Lemos ao violino, começa a se sedimentar o período embrionário da Bossa Nova. Alguns discos do trio foram lançados,em 1953, pelo selo Musidisc, destacando-se a primeira gravação de Duas Contas, a única música que é cantada. Fafá Lemos é quem canta.
Depois entraria Johnny Alf e a história fica ainda melhor. Quando a bossa nova foi lançada oficialmente, em 1958, a base já estava toda pronta.

Cleber,
Bem lembrado. Muita gente considera essa formação com o Garoto, Fafa e Oswaldinho como o Trio Surdina, que na verdade teve várias formações e parecia ser de propriedade da Musidisc. Só gravaram – e bastante – pela Musidisc.
Existem outros LPs anteriores, talvez seja possível que algum esteja com o violão do Garoto.
Veremos.
Grande Abraço, zeca

Daniella Thompson on Friday, 17 November, 2006
No, Trio Surdina was not Nilo Sergio creation, and the name did not come from him but from the radio program on which the trio first played. The real Trio Surdina (i.e., the first formation) recorded only in 1952-53. You can read about it here:http://daniellathompson.com/Texts/Ary_Barroso/Trio_Surdina.htm

Caro Zeca, o arquivo não se encontra mais disponível no rapidshare. O que houve? Será possível repostá-lo, por gentileza? gratíssimo de antemão e parabéns pelas seleções geniais.

Nicolas on Thursday, 06 March, 2008
Hello,
and thank you VERY much for your great work !
I want to say that I really do appreciate the Trio Surdina and more music by these musicians would be a great present for me.
