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

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).

Tracks include:

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)
08 – How About You (Lane Burton / Freed Ralph)
09 – Chão de Estrelas (Sïlvio Caldas / Orestes Barbosa)
10 – Misty (Erroll Garner / Johnny Burke)
11 – Mulher (Custódio Mesquita / Sadi Cabral)
12 – I’ve Got You Under My Skin (Cole Porter)


Martoni:
No programa do RF&E de 15 de dezembro 2007 lembramos o falecimento de Marcio Montarroyos no dia 13 de dezembro 2007.

Toninho Horta – Diamond Land (1989)

.

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 30 de setembro 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Here we have an artist that everybody asks for an album at Loronix. It took a long time until we have the necessary to make available one of his works, but the long waiting really worth, this is one of the best albums recorded by Toninho Horta and it is amazing that Diamond Land never had a CD issue, being out of print on “CD era”, at least the far as I could search.

This is Toninho Horta – Diamond Land (1989), for Philips, featuring a true legend of the Brazilian guitar, Toninho Horta, backed by several renowned musicians, including the acclaimed Wayne Shorter.

It’s very hard to describe Toninho Horta, so I’m taking the liner notes of Diamond Land, written by Pat Metheny. I could never make better.

“Musicians everywhere love Toninho Horta’s songs. Through his work with Milton Nascimento, his own recordings and the cover versions of his tunes that have appeared on various albums throughout the past decade or so, Toninho has emerged as one of the most harmonically sophisticated and melodically satisfying Brazilian composers of recent times.
Somehow, he writes chord progressions that defy gravity, moving up when you think they’re going down. His melodies stay with you for days; you’re sure you’ve heard them before, but they are brand new. And as an arranger, he’s a master. (Not just with his own music either – check out what he does here with “Diamond Land”). As a guitarist, he’s one of the world’s great “compers” on viola. (That’s a nylon-string guitar to us gringos). He plays such great voicings with such a cool time feel… (I’ve often described him to other musicians as the Herbie Hancock of Bossa Nova guitarists). His love of jazz guitar playing is well represented here, as is his excellent singing.
In short, Toninho Horta is an incredible musician, the rare guitarist who understand harmony in its most intimate ways and – above all – one of the finest and gentlest people I’ve ever had the good fortune of knowing. This record, DIAMOND LAND, is a great addition to Toninho’s ongoing work, and will also serve as an excellent introduction to those listeners not yet familiar with his music.”-Pat Metheny

Luiz, it’s really true that TH had “Diamond Land” issued on CD in US. The “Verve Forecast” label released other two amazing TH albums: “Moonstone” (with Pat Metheny on one track) and “Once I Loved” (with Billy Higgins and Gary Peacock). All of them had CD issues in the past, but are out of print worldwide, as far i am concerned. That’s the reason this post is very special.

Vadico – Evocacao III (1979

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 14 de julho 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.

This is a tribute to one of the most underrated and forgotten artists in Brazil. Make an exercise right now and try to answer a simple question: “Who is Vadico?” Probably, just a small group of friends would make it by heart. I’m quite sure Vadico is widely unknown outside and even inside Brazil. Vadico is the longtime composer partner of Noel Rosa, one of the most interesting composer partnerships of Brazilian popular music. Their first composition is the legendary Feitio de Oracao, created in 1932, the second was, believe me, Feitico da Vila. Since these first two masterpieces, they made together hundreds of legendary compositions. I’m sharing a tribute album to Vadico, recorded in 1979 by a constellation of Brazilian musicians.

This is Vadico – Evocacao III (1979), for Eldorado, a tribute to Vadico. In spite of his series of compositions with Noel Rosa, Vadico was also a gifted musician, playing piano and leading orchestras. Vadico had also an international experience as member of several American orchestras and as pianist of o Bando da Lua, Carmen Miranda accompaniment group, taking part in several movies in the 40′s. There is also an interesting story about Vadico, he was the first Vinicius de Moraes choice to be responsible for the soundtrack of Orfeu da Conceicao, but Vadico took a lot of time to accept the offer and Vinicius decided another name, Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Tracks include:

Performers:

Marcio Montarroyos
Dominguinhos
Raul de Barros
Amilton Godoy
Roberto Sion
Edu da Gaita
Heraldo do Monte

Track List:

01 – Feitio de Oração (Vadico / Noel Rosa) – Márcio Montarroyos
02 – Prece (Vadico / Marino Pinto) – Dominguinhos
03 – Nego (Vadico / Marino Pinto) – Raul de Barros
04 – Choro Em Fá Menor (Vadico) – Amilton Godoy
05 – Pra Que Mentir (Vadico / Noel Rosa) – Roberto Sion

Dois grandes precursores da Bossa-Nova: Johnny Alf e João Donato

Programa de sabado, 15 de dezembro 2007

Estes dois grandes músicos brasileiros foram talvez os mais importantes influenciadores de João Gilberto na criação da famosa "batida", característica principal do estilo Bossa-Nova.

Alfredo José da Silva, o Johnny Alf, nasceu no Rio de Janeiro em 19/05/1929, começou a aprender piano clássico aos nove anos com uma amiga da família, demonstrando logo cedo interesse por compositores do cinema norte americano como: George Gershwin e Cole Porter. Seu apelido veio por volta dos 14 anos, sugestão de uma amiga, quando de sua apresentação em um programa de Jazz na rádio MEC. Por esta época também fazia parte do instituto Brasil-Estados Unidos, ajudando na promoção e intercâmbio de música brasileira e americana.


.
.
  
Com este grupo do instituto, Johnny fundou um clube, que se reuniam para exibição de filmes, análise de orquestrações, shows, etc.
.
.
Um nome já famoso na época (1949) regressava dos EUA, e passou a fazer parte deste grupo, era Dick Farney, e o clube passou então se chamar "Sinatra-Farney fan club", tendo entre seus sócios entre outros: Tom Jobim, Luis Bonfá e Nora Ney.

.
.
.
.









.
.
.
Johnny se profissionalizou na noite a partir de 1952, quando começou a tocar em barzinhos e boates, primeiro no Rio e depois em São Paulo (a partir de 1955). 

No Rio tocou na Mandarin, depois o Clube da Chave, Drink e Plaza, onde João Gilberto ia ouvi-lo com frequência, e se impressionava com aquela modernidade ao ve-lo executar "Céu e Mar" e "Rapaz de Bem" duas composições suas.




Outro importante membro do "Sinatra-Farney", era um garoto com 15 anos então, que tocava acordeão e participava de algumas jams sessions, no clube e até na casa de Dick, este jovem prodígio era João Donato. 

Donato havia chegado do Acre  a 4 anos atrás com a família a 4 anos atrás, com 11 anos (e já com o acordeão).

.
.

 

Desde que se tem notícia, Donato sempre teve um swing, um gingado muito próprio com seu instrumento, alguma coisa com um pé no Brasil e um pé no Caribe, tocou também em boates, conjuntos e a partir de 1958 passou a tocar apenas piano,foi nesta época que compôs com João Gilberto, a música "Minha Saudade", que foi seu primeiro sucesso no início da Bossa-Nova.




.
.
.
.
.
.
Corre a lenda que João Gilberto desenvolveu sua característica "batida" de violão ouvindo o piano de Johnny Alf e o acordeão e o piano de Donato, na dúvida, incluamos os três em nossas audições musicais frequentes.











.
.
Conheçam um pouco mais de Johnny Alf e João Donato neste F&E que vai ao ar neste sábado 19hs (Brasil- http://www.fm107rc.com.br/) e logo mais vc pode reouvir aqui no Rádio Forma & Elenco, clicando no link logo aí em baixo.



 

Neste programa também, uma simples homenagem á um grande instrumentista brasileiro, falecido na última quarta feira dia 13, Marcio Montarroyos.
