We cannot mention UK without showing this masterpiece, Manfredo Fest Trio as Sambeatles, playing Beatles with Samba Jazz groove. Fascinating, even if you are not a Beatles fan. This is a repost and it is one of the first albums made available at Loronix. Perhaps nobody had the chance to see it at archives, so this is the chance that you cannot miss. Tracks include:
01 - Can't Buy Me Love (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
02 - Michelle (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
03 - A Hard Day's Night (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
04 - Girl (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
05 - Ticket To Ride (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
06 - I Should Have Known Better (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
07 - Help (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
08 - Yesterday (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
09 - All My Loving (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
10 - And I Love Her (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
11 - Ask Me Why (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
12 - If I Fell (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)



I'm a huge fan of The Beatles, I said it before, not once, but many times, that's why UK picture is the legendary Abbey Road cover artwork. UK participation at Loronix was really solid with 173 cities getting in touch with Loronix last year. London takes the lead with 37% of visits, followed by Brentford, Manchester and Birmingham.

I have several friends from UK that I had the chance to make with Loronix. As I woke up today with memory gaps, I will not mention them, afraid of forgetting someone. My greeting goes to all Loronixers from UK, I hope you stay connected next year with the same strength you did last year.

Thanks, zecalouro

zamurozien on Thursday, 31 May, 2007Only I few words to say ... maybe I do not have a photo of mine with the Sugar Loaf in the background but ... I have a photo of mine crossing "The Crossing" of Abbey Road like The Beatles! Don't you feel a liitle twinge of envy? :-)
Thanks zeca!

Varios Artistas - Brasil '66 (1966)

Perhaps I'm having a good relationship with Rio de Janeiro, since in the last days we had covers, videos and pictures based on Rio landscapes. Maybe Caetano is missing Rio, this is another of his amazing and never seen before records. Actually, Brasil '66 is a compilation on side B and part of a given album by the mighty Maestro Erlon Chaves. Let's check what we have here.

This is Brasil '66 (1966), for Fermata, featuring Erlon Chaves, Zimbo Trio, Manfredo Fest, Paulinho Nogueira, Ely Arcoverde, Bossa Jazz Trio and Luiz Chaves e seu Conjunto. The whole side A with six songs features Erlon Chaves e Sua Orquestra, while each track of side B is taken by these top-notch instrumental musicians. I think that nothing can go wrong with this album, starting with the cover that alone worth the admission price. Tracks include:

Erlon Chaves e Sua Orquestra

Garota de Ipanema
Das Rosas
Acender as Velas
Balanco Zona Sul
Marcha da Quarta Feira de Cinzas
Brazilian Varig

Zimbo Trio
Arrastao

Manfredo Fest
Reza

Paulinho Nogueira
Opiniao

Ely Arcoverde
O Menino das Laranjas

Bossa Jazz Trio
Maria Moita

Luiz Chaves e Seu Conjunto
Berimbau

Zeca, só não descobri sobre o Ely Arcoverde, mas todos os demais artistas desse album são não-cariocas. Entretanto os temas, e a bela capa, fazem referência direta ao Rio. É mais um pequeno detalhe interessante.

Hi, I don't usually write down to ask for anything, but I'd like to know if someone has an Lp called VIVRE!, by the french musician and singer PIERRE BAROUH, who fell in love with bossa nova in the sixties and penned SAMBA SARAVAH.
Thank you

Hello Peleon,
I am a fan of Pierre Barouh.
yes, I have Barouh's album Vivre (this Japan Cd release) : I also have the Barouh CD Saudade which includes the song Saudade with Baden Powell on guitar (they tell it is the first recorded french Bossa Nova )Do you want it? we can talk about. I think Vivre is out of print.

Best wishes

I didn't know it was released on CD, and of course I'm interested in.

I had the chance to hear this LP for the first time yesterday; I did not know what I was missing. I decided to post this album as the second of our tribute to show how this record surprises me. I don't know details of Manfredo Fest biography and his association to the works of Antonio Carlos Jobim, but the first thing that came on my mind yesterday was that I had in hands a sincere and emotive tribute to Tom Jobim made by a fan, a sincere admirer of the Maestro, so great is the repertoire and so wonderful is the interpretation and details on each song. Thanks for this LP Caetano, truly amazing.


This is Manfredo Fest - Just Jobim (1998), for DMP. On top of everything I said before, this is the last Manfredo Fest LP. I use to never put my personal opinion on records at Loronix and I will make an exception this time, run for it. Period. Some tracks are not well known Jobim works and belongs to a movie soundtrack that you will hear about today, stay tuned.

Tracks include:

Personnel

Manfredo Fest

(piano)

David Finck

(bass)

Cyro Baptista

(percussion)

Steve Davis

(drums)

Track List


01 - Aguas de Marco
02 - Wave
03 - Desafinado
04 - Double Rainbow
05 - Amparo
06 - Girl from Ipanema
07 - Anos Dourados
08 - Agua de Beber
09 - Ligia
10 - So Tinha que Ser com Voce
11 - Quiet Nights
12 - Luisa

O manfredo fez um LP com seu trio que eu considero dos fundamentais
http://loronix.blogspot.com/2006/12/manfredo-fest-trio-manfredo-fest-trio.html
vocal e instrumental fantasticos. Acabou, como tantos outros, fazendo carreira nos EUA onde morreu. Deixou um herdeiro guitarrista que chegou a gravar com o pai. Vou assim que tiver, ouvir esse trabalho jobiniano dele.

Hi Zeca,
thank you for this Manfredo Fest album.
I would also like to hear Manfredo Fest e seu Conjunto "Evolucao" 1965(RGE XRLP-5.239)
Perhaps you or Caetano have this album too?


Fuzzy Bear on Thursday, 25 January, 2007
Great idea!
Some great records like “Tom Canta Vinicius” and “Salena Jones sings Jobim with the Jobim's“.
A significant one “Orfeu da Conceicao” from 1956.
Side by side with the schmaltz of Doris Day and the unnecessary tribute from 1997.
If you can, I would like to hear more live albums and rarities…
And thanks for the consistently posting superb music!
Obrigado,
Fuzzy Bear

M. Fest: I wonder - really really pray for! - any of the great Manfredo Fest albums for Concord Records in California, of the '80s and '90s. Unbelievably they're out of print. Anybody...?
RED (Ireland).
PS.: Also, Zecalouro, when I wrote to your g-mail a few weeks ago, it was just to introduce myself, and tell you of my deep gratitude to you personally, and of how everything has changed in my habits since I discovered (with JimR's help!) Loronix!
