It is crazy what is happening with this last Caetano Rodrigues set, several albums are some sorts of "collector dreams items". Actually, some of these albums are well know by collectors and Bossa Nova fans. I'm not talking about the music; the covers are well known to everybody available at the legendary sabadabada.com, bossa.net, auction sites, gemm and other places to go for Brazilian old vinyl’s.

Now it is time to get in touch with the music, great music not commercially available from decades that did not loose the strength and appeal of the many friends who loves the music from Brazil.

This is Conjunto OK - OK! Samba! (1964), for RGE (XRLP - 5259).
I need Quimsy guidance to describe the first and only Conjunto OK album. Walter Arid is in charge of Conjunto OK, the same Walter Arid we already know by Som Okey 5. Perhaps Som Okey 5 is the "evolution" of Conjunto OK. Pretty self-explanatory release that will make the day of those who like cool Brazilian funky grooves (I'm learning) Hammond B3 organ, trombones...

Tracks include:

Personnel

Walter Arid
(piano, organ)

Augusto
(drums)

Jair and Vieira
(percussion)

Ismael
(trombone)

Perez
(piston)

Epaminondas
(sax tenor, alto and flute)

Peri
(violao)

Clemente
(bass)

Nilton Siqueira
(vocal)

Track List

01 - Balanço do Mar (Zil Rosendo)

Good mornig Caetano and Zeca,
I am really surprised about this album- it runs very fine with this beautiful vocal touch and the great guitar- I thought before this album is not soo important- Caetano shows us again better and I was wrong.Really wrong.Happy, happy I am here now with this album.
Best wishes

Desculpem o atraso no comentário, mas havia um conjunto musical de bailes em Taubaté que se chamava Ritmos OK. Seria esse?

Pocho e Seu Conjunto - Dancando Com Sucessos (1960)

.

Incluida: Presidente Bossa Nova

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 27 de maio 2007.

It is great to show another album from this artist, mainly by the circumstances this record was found, lost in the street, not exactly lost, but abandoned in the middle of CDs sold by a guy in the street. I got it on a really bad shape and now it is really a pleasure to bring it back to life and show to Loronix friends. I'm including with the package the back cover with no restoration just to give you the idea if how badly it was. In the other hand, the vinyl performed very well and the music is truly great.

This is Pocho e Seu Conjunto - Dancando Com Sucessos (1960), for RGE. Pocho (Rubens Perez), is an Uruguayan Maestro that established himself in Brazil in the late 50's, releasing several albums and participating as arranger and director of works from several renowned Brazilian musicians and singers. Pocho is one of Caetano favorites and his music is not easily found at old vinyl shops. The last Pocho album I could track was released in 1970 and no further information of his artistic career was found when I searched for info.

Tracks include:

01 - Marina (R. Granata)
02 - Mira Que Luna (Elgos / Malgoni)
03 - Carinho e Amor (Tito Madi)
04 - Presidente Bossa Nova (Juca Chaves)
05 - Tintarella Di Luna (Banho de Lua) (B. de Fillippi / Migliacci)
06 - Me Leva (José Garcia / Anísio Silva / Silas de Oliveira)
07 - Menina Moça (Luis Antônio)
08 - Romântica (R. Rascel / D. Verde)
09 - El Vagabundo (V. Simon)
10 - Marcianita (J. I. Marcone / G. V. Alderete)
11 - Tome Continha de Você (Dolores Duran / Édson Borges)
12 - Un Telegrama (Hermanos Garcia Segura)

Muito bom este LP. É um estilo de música que não se ouve mais, com arranjos bem característicos. Lembra em alguns momentos Carmen Cavallaro. Me deu saudade de Um Piano ao Cair da Tarde que tocava todos os dias na antiga radio Eldorado´às 6 da tarde em ponto.

Chico Buarque de Hollanda – Compacto Duplo (1967)

.

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 21 de março 2008.

I think this is another great finding sponsored by my mother, who brought this compacto duplo (EP) in her last contribution to our community. I could not find this little record listed in any discography checked and I believe he brings something never released on regular Chico Buarque albums, which is the recording of of Roda Viva, featuring the vocal group MPB-4 in the III Festival da Musica Popular Brasileira in 1967.

My memory has not been very good recently, but I remember someone asking for this tune.
Let’s see.

This is Chico Buarque de Hollanda – Compacto Duplo (1967), for RGE, featuring the participation of MPB-4 at Roda Viva in III Festival da Musica Popular Brasileira and Carolina, taken from the II Festival Internacional da Canção, Rio de Janeiro. This cover artwork alone worth the admission of this nice album. I would like to say thanks to everybody and give my apologies for the recent outages at Loronix, my work on these issues are not finished and probably we will have a better and fast website as soon as the situation gets back to normal.

Tracks include:

01 – Roda Viva (Chico Buarque) with MPB-4 at II Festival da Musica Popular Brasileira
02 – A Televisão (Chico Buarque)
03 – Carolina (Chico Buarque) at II Festival Internacional da Cancao
04 – Um Chorinho (Chico Buarque)

As gravações de “A Televisão” e “Um Chorinho” foram tiradas do LP “Chico Buarque de Hollanda volume 2″ (1967). Quanto a “Carolina” e “Roda Viva”, as mesmas gravações foram incluídas um ano depois no LP “Chico Buarque de Hollanda volume 3″ (1968). Os três primeiros LPs do Chico, originalmente lançados pela RGE, foram relançados em CD em versão remasterizada em 2006 pela SOM LIVRE. Acho que continuam no mercado.

O Melhor da Bossa (1965)

Comentários originais incluídos.

Compilations and several artists albums were not on my agenda, they were simply ignored by me for many years. With the help of Loronixers, I could understand the value of these records. The Bossa Nova compilations and VA albums are really fascinating, they provide on a single album a nice panorama of a time, or even a showcase of a given record label. This is the case of this one that Caetano Rodrigues kindly sent to us. Several well-known artists and some that I have been tracking down for months and now I have the chance to hear at least a single track. Thanks Caetano.

This is Varios Artistas - O Melhor da Bossa (1965), for RGE, featuring Maysa, Chico Buarque, Ana Lucia, Bossa Jazz Trio, Cesar Roldao Vieira, Claudia, Elza Laranjeira, Maria Creuza, Vinicius de Moraes, Agostinho dos Santos, Maria Bethania, Manfredo Fest Trio, Wanda and Paulinho Nogueira.Thanks a lot Caetano.

Tracks include:

01 - Nos e o Mar
02 - Retrato em Branco e Preto
03 - Derradeira Primavera
04 - Balanco Zona Sul
05 - Pranto
06 - Eu Sei que Vou Te Amar
07 - Minha Namorada
08 - Estrada do Sol
09 - De Manhã
10 - Reza
11 - Inutil Paisagem
12 - O Pato

Hope uEnjoy!

Só assim pra ouvir 'Pranto' com o Cesar Roldão Vieira e a Claudia.
Cesar era um contumaz participante de Festivais.
Coisas muito boas.

Yes Zeca, this form is not to be ignored! The V.A. & the "Trilha Sonora Original Da Novela" are both rightful LP's, though they are many different artists, they are good LP's on their own.
Please don't miss my Italian Bossa Comps that I posted for you!
V.A. - Bossa Galore - Lounge At Cinevox [Cinevox] Italy
V.A. - Metti Una Bossa A Cena [2000 Schema] Italy
Both are super yummy!

Dick Farney & Booker Pittman – Jam Session das Folhas (1961)

.
.

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 01 de agosto 2006. 

Comentários originais incluídos. 

Perhaps today is the day zecalouro is posting to Loronixers his mega-rare releases. Jam Session das Folhas – Dick Farney e Booker Pittman (1961) is very rare vinyl collectors item.

This LP was recorded live in the end of 1960 at the auditorium of a Brazilian newspaper, Folha de Sao Paulo. As zecalouro told before, Dick Farney was an outstanding singer and an awesome pianist who contributed decisively to the renovation of Brazilian popular music, incorporating jazz harmonies and style.

Dick was at the piano on all tracks, accompanied by Heraldo do Monte (guitar), Luiz Chaves (bass), Paulinho (drums) among others. Booker plays sax and sings on some tracks

Martoni:

Booker Pittman or Pitman (3 March 1909, Fairmount Heights, Maryland, USA - 19 October 1969, São Paulo, Brasil) was the son of Portia Pittman and a grandson of Booker T. Washington. He became an accomplished jazz clarinetist and played with greats like Louis Armstrong and Count Basie in the US and Europe in the 1920s and 30s. He is also an alto and soprano saxophonist. His stepdaughter Eliana Pittman is a Brazilian jazz singer and actress.

He left the US for the first time in 1933, when he went with Lucky Millinder's orchestra to France and stayed there for four years. During that period, he met a Brazilian musician named Romeo Silva, who took him on a tour of Brazil along with other musicians. They sailed to Bahia aboard the Siqueira Campos.
In 1937, Booker moved to Brazil, where he was known by the nickname "Buca", and continued his musical career there, playing at the Urca Casino. He lived in Copacabana and befriended Jorge Guinle and Pixinguinha. He also played in other countries, like Argentina.
In October 1969 he died in his home in the São Paulo quarter of Vila Nova Conceição of laryngeal cancer at the age of 60 . On behest of his wife Ofélia he was transferred to Rio de Janeiro and there laid to rest at the Cemitério São João Batista in the quarter of Botafogo.

Interesting in the comments is: when Daniella Thompson asked about the song “Cheese” , “Emanuel wrote ‘The song “Cheese” Was Composed By Pittman in Tribute to Dudu (the Banjo and guitar Player) because he used to eat a lot of Cheese.

Dudu was considered one of the best traditional jazz musicians and Pittman´s closest musician/friend. Nowadays Dudu has a band with his sons, the Banda PAPADÚ”.

Are there liner notes? And if so, do they say anything about the cheese song?

zecalouro on Wednesday, 02 August, 2006
Hello Daniella,
zecalouro is honored to see you down here.
This is a nice and very hard to find LP. Maria Luiza Kfoury – from the excellent http://www.discosdobrasil.com.br – has a copy. I guess she could not find any info on linear notes, take a look at http://tinyurl.com/gyfqj, there you will find info about the Chees song, which was composed by Booker and Daniel.
Who knows if on my weekly visit to the records stores in Rio de Janeiro I can gather some info with someone? I will let all friends here and you aware about it.
Enjoy your stay.

I´ve never had suspected of this Farney/Pittman collaboration.

Hey, Brother Loro.
What a great surprise!

Thanks to show me the real guy.

Tracks 1-4 are by Farney and are a delight to hear. Thereafter Pittman and a group of Dixieland wanabees take over and I must say I was not impressed. They take a comic attitude to almost everything and I did not think it worked very well. Pittman must think he is emulating the great Sidney Bechet on soprano but does not come close.
Great for tracks 1-4 and a downer for the rest.

yvesfrancois on Wednesday, 18 July, 2007
I have the album,I love the Booker Pittman tracks (one of my favorite sopranos along Bechet, Emmett Matthews and the still active 94 years old Franz Jackson) it has an unusual guitarist and a fine trumpeter (and love Booker’s vocals as well). I find it funny that my view on this LP is the exact opposite of “jazzman” posted. I bought the LP for Pittman and was very happy about Pittman’s combo, but found the “coctail” jazz of Farney’s combo mundane for my taste (though very professional), viva la difference, I guess Yves Francois

Hi Daniella, The song “Cheese” Was Composed By Pittman in Tribute to Dudu (the Banjo and guitar Player) because he used to eat a lot of Cheese.

Hello, good evening! My pick for this Saturday was decided on a different manner. I’m in a rush here, and I did not took this album for a hearing the way I use to do. But you should agree it is not necessary. This album never had a CD reissue and it unknown to many friends.

The little I heard was enough to understand this record is such like a friend’s meeting, very relaxed session. The duo brings to studio renowned friends, such like Maria Bethania, Maria Creuza, Sergio Endrigo and Cyro Monteiro, which is his last record session participation before his passing in the same year.

Let’s see.

This is Toquinho & Vinicius de Moraes – Toquinho / Vinicius & Amigos (1974), for RGE, featuring Vinicius de Moraes compositions performed with special guests. It is easy to identify each performer at this cover artwork, except Chico Buarque, the one in the right, besides Sergio Endrigo. Find the list of performers below and have a nice Sunday. Christmas is very close and if you do not reach Loronix until there, take my Happy Christmas message with you.

Tracks include:

Hello, good morning! I knew since the first minute of today that my energies were limited to make only one new album to Loronixers. So I decided to make something that should make everybody really pleased.

I wish everybody a nice weekend, actually, a big weekend that starts tomorrow for Brazilian friends and perhaps friends from other countries, anyway, have a nice big weekend or have a nice weekend, in advance.
