Ademilde Fonseca – A Rainha do Chorinho (1975)

It is truly amazing the feedback given to Ademilde Fonseca on two recently released records. I admit that she was not on my radar and if there is someone who should receive credits for the recent Ademilde Fonseca posts is Elso Legey, he was the first to shout out loud at CBox for an Ademilde Fonseca album. It is hard to believe that Ademilde Fonseca released only a few records on a career that spans decades. This album was recorded in 1975 and follows immediately Choros Famosos (1962), a hiatus of 13 years on recordings. Let’s see.

This is Ademilde Fonseca – A Rainha do Chorinho (1975), for Top Tape, featuring Ademilde Fonseca chorinho standards with some new compositions, including Titulos de Nobreza “Ademilde no Choro” written by Joao Bosco and Aldir Blanc as a gift to Ademilde Fonseca. I think this album is a real find, a breathtaking constellation of Brazilian musicians were in this session, and among many other surprises, I got really amazed with the open tune, Choro Chorao, a choro composition by the Samba legend Martinho da Vila. I think Loronixers will also be amazed with this really nice album, it seems that everybody likes Ademilde Fonseca.

Another sensational release by Ademilde Fonseca, thank you Zeca for the care and dedication you have for our musical requests and thanks for the compliment. I merely reminded you of Ademilde Fonseca well deserved name of the rainha do Chorinho, and reminded you to post her records for all of us to enjoy.
Next request , the earlier Bola Sete records for Odeon-Brazil.

Strangely, I had missed this super lovely voice & session. MPB is just so big that it takes time to find these little gems. I also have this very same session with a different cover simply titled “Ademilde Fonseca” with the same songs of the same year & also on Top Tape.

Francis Hime – Sonho de Moço (1981)

.
.

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 14 de setembro 2007. 

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

Codó – Coisas da Minha Terra (1978)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 31 de Outubro 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good evening! This is another awesome contribution sponsored by Jorge Mello, featuring – forgive me if I’m wrong – the last album recorded by the Brazilian guitarist Codo, a very important musician acknowledged by many others, such like Elizeth Cardoso and Baden Powell, who wrote a tune dedicated to Codo, Um Abraco no Codo, released on Baden Powell’s 27 Horas de Estudio (1969), Elenco.

Let’s see.

This is Codo – Coisas da Minha Terra (1978), for CID, a beautiful celebration to Codo’s music. Codo is backed by a constellation of Brazilian musicians, including Sivuca (also in charge of arrangements), Wilson das Neves, Dino 7 Cordas, Copinha, Neco, Paulo Moura, among many others.

Coisas da Minha Terra works under two different concepts.

Side A is all instrumental and brings an interview with Codo between the four tracks with the participation of Sergio Cabral, Sivuca and Antonio Mascarenhas.
Side B has lyrics with Codo singing, playing and supported by a choir, including Jaime Alem and Nair Candia. Elizeth Cardoso is the special guest on Side A second track, Indecisa Aurora (Codo / Itamar Souza e Silva). Coisas da Minha Terra should address wants and needs of everybody with these two different approaches.

Tracks include:

Valeu mesmo por este, Zecalouro! Vc saberia dizer se o Codó chegou a gravar uma valsa dele chamada “Leninha” (ou “Valsa para Lená”), já gravada algumas vezes pelo Paulo Moura? Há muito tempo procuro ouvir a gravação original dessa música, não sei mais onde procurar. Um grande abraço. Luiz, de Santos-SP.

zecalouro on Tuesday, 04 November, 2008
Luiz, obrigado pelo comentário, já estava ficando aflito com o Codó sem comentários.

Procurei o que conheço da discografia do Codó e não achei nenhum registro dessa canção, seja ela Leninha ou Valsa para Lená.
Vamos aguardar, quem sabe um dia aparece.
Abraços, zeca

Luiz on Saturday, 08 November, 2008
Zeca, obrigado pela atenção. O Paulo Moura realmente descobre umas coisas, no samba e no choro, que ninguém conhece. Grande abraço!

Mauricio Jeronymo on Tuesday, 31 March, 2009
Olá a todos. Meu nome é Mauricio de Brito, sou neto do violonista e compositor Codó.
Fico feliz em saber que ainda está viva a memória de meu avô.
Tenho reunido algum material, e creio que em breve teremos mais material sobre o Mestre Codó da Bahia. Nacional e free!
Grande abraço a todos!

Quarteto em Cy – Querelas do Brasil (1978)

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 09 de setembro 2008.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good evening! I think we will have today the same situation we had tomorrow on our last post, an unknown album recorded by a great artist and never released in CD. Maybe I’m wrong, but except from some occasional and small reissues, Quarteto em Cy – Querelas do Brasil, never had a chance to be released at the digital age.

This is a repost, Querelas do Brasil was made available first in November 2006 with no back cover, transferred at a low bitrate and had a track missing. Everything is now updated and I hope you have a very nice time with this great vocal group.
Let’s see.

This is Quarteto em Cy – Querelas do Brasil (1978), for Philips, which is probably the most “political flavored” album released by the girls, with several lyrics about Brazilian problems of that time. By the way, the album title is taken from one of those songs; Querelas do Brasil by Mauricio Tapajos and Aldir Blanc.

Such as many Brazilian albums released in the 70’s, Querelas do Brazil features a constellation of Brazilian musicians, including Sivuca, Antonio Adolfo, Luizao, Neco, Copinha, Raul de Barros and many others.

Tracks include:

Personnel

Paulinho Braga, Zequinha
(drums)

Luizao Maia, Jamil Joanes
(bass)

Luis Claudio, Miltinho
(acoustic guitar)

Neco
(cavaquinho)

Luis Claudio

track 4 “love, love, love” is missing

Anonymous on Wednesday, 10 September, 2008
O Quarteto em Cy é um marco na MPB de qualidade. Pena não ser divulgado e executado como deveria, para que as pessoas mais “mudernas” pudessem desfrutar de música que vai da empolgação à delicadeza, sem perder a classe e o prazer que esse antológico quarteto nos proporciona. Palavras de fã, é claro.
A propósito, teria como conseguir o link para o disco “And roses, and roses”, do Quarteto em Cy & Caymmi? É um dos pouquíssimos que me faltam, e não o consigo em lugar nenhum.
Obrigado.

Grande blog!
Mais post de muito bom gosto.

Seria possível postar “Baioque”, com as meninas do Quarteto em Cy?
Grato,

Verão Vermelho OST (1970)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 25 de novembro 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good evening! I’m surprised with Veu de Noiva Brazilian soap opera OST released two days ago. Until now, it is the most downloaded of the weekend, leaving classic albums by renowned artists behind. This is the reason for showing Loronixers another OST, produced by the same people in charge of Veu de Noiva, released in 1970 and kindly provided with exceptional quality by the already legendary Dona Iara. Let’s see.

This is Verao Vermelho (1970), for Philips, the original sound track of TV Globo Verao Vermelho soap opera. Directed by Nelson Motta and featuring almost the same performers of Veu de Noiva, such as Luiz Eca, Regininha, Roberto Menescal, Wilson das Neves and Elis Regina.

Tracks include:

The Performers

Elis Regina
Nonato Buzar
Regininha
Wilson das Neves
Luiz Eca
Erlon Chaves
Roberto Menescal
Ruy Felipe

Track List

01 – Verão Vermelho (Nonato Buzar) with Elis Regina
02 – Vitória Vitória (Tema de Raul) (Nonato Buzar) with Nonato Buzar
03 – Ela (Tema de Patrícia) (Antônio Adolfo / Tibério Gaspar) with Regininha
04 – Jornada (Tema de Selma) (Roberto Menescal) with Wilson das Neves
05 – Onde Você Mora (Tema de Flávio) (Paulinho Tapajós / Edmundo Souto) with Luis Eça
06 – Baião do Sol (Tema de Geralda) (Nelson Ângelo)
07 – The Time Of Noon (Tema de Amor) (A. Kerr) with Erlon Chaves
08 – Ela (Tema de Patrícia) (Antônio Adolfo / Tibério Gaspar) with Regininha
09 – Vitória Vitória (Tema de Raul) (Nonato Buzar) with Erlon Chaves

Les 4 Cadillacs – Les 4 Cadillacs (1964)

.
.
Originalmente postado no Loronix em 13 de outubro 2007.
Comentários originais incluídos.

Hello, good evening! I was not thinking about posting this album by Les 4 Cadillacs today, but I making it for gratitude, Les 4 Cadillacs worked nicely with zecalouro today. zecalouro (the parrot) was really annoying this afternoon, saying bad things, such as: mengo and the name of someone that I don’t like. He knows this thing really drives me crazy and I could not concentrate on the work I was doing.
So, I decided to take it for a spin with him. I put zecalouro just beside the turntable (he likes to see the vinyl spinning) and I laid down on the couch to wait for the results.

The results were fantastic, zecalouro started saying good things such like: I love you daddy, scratch my head, good night, you are my friend, and even tried to sing the melodies he creates on top of some songs. I felt sleeping close to the end of both sides and he called myself yelling “it is over” when the record stops spinning.
I was mad with zecalouro and Les 4 Cadillacs saved my day. By the way, why I’m telling these things? I’m getting nuts, definitively. Anyway, this album is dedicated to zecalouro, my demanding and smart green friend.

This is Les 4 Cadillacs – Les 4 Cadillacs (1964), for Musidisc, the last album recorded by this anthological Musidisc creation lead by Ed Lincoln. I think Loronix has now the whole Les 4 Cadillacs discography, five albums recorded from 1961 until this last 1964 release. Personnel listing is made available according with Vinylmaniac information.

Tracks include:

Personnel

Ed Lincoln
(piano)

Durval Ferreira
(guitar)

Luis Marinho
(bass)

Wilson das Neves
(drums)

Track List

01 – On The Street Where You Live (Lerner / Loewe)

05 – What Kind Of Fool Am I (L. Bricusse / A. Newley)
06 – Make Me Cry (J. D. Loudermilk)
07 – Lawrence Of Arabia (M. Jarre)

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.

AdHoc said…
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.

Hello, good evening! Let’s start today with a group that started as “trial” and now is a real mania among Loronixers, I’m talking about Les 4 Cadillacs, another nice creation of Musidisc owner Nilo Sergio. We have already three Les 4 Cadillacs albums available at Loronix, and this one is perhaps the best one, being also the most popular, perhaps by the cover showing these four Cadillacs. Let’s see.

This is Les 4 Cadillacs – Les 4 Cadillacs (1963), for Musidisc. We have a major change on our Les 4 Cadillacs sequel, in addition to the band leader, the legendary Ed Lincoln at the piano, vinylmaniac provided a couple of days ago the identification of the three other Cadillacs, thanks vinylmaniac! They are: Durval Ferreira (guitar), Luis Marinho (bass) and Wilson das Neves (drums). This is an awesome revelation.

Tracks include:

Zeca, I am extremely happy that you have posted another Les 4 Cadillacs LP. I love this one a lot. I should add I think there must be another Les 4 Cadillacs Lp release showing 4 Cadillacs printed on its cover. Am I wrong assuming this? Thank you for being so kind as to publish albums requested by all of us, Brazilian Music Lovers.

Zeca, uma correção: a formação dos 4 Cadillacs era o Ed Lincoln, Wilson das Neves, Marinho e na guitarra o Waltel Branco, 0 guitarrista de quase todas as pequenas formações da Musidisc na época.
Abraço, Alessandro Gamo.

Sonia Lemos – Pérola de Agonitá (1976)

Originalmente postado no Loronix em 23 de setembro 2007.

Let’s move forward with the Samba Saturday posts showing an artist released in the end of 2006 with her debut LP,Sonia Lemos – Sonia Lemos e Sua Viola Enluarada (1968), the

one with Sonia Lemos at Copacabana beach in your left. It is a very nice album with Sonia Lemos performing as a Bossa Nova singer.

If you see this cover, it is easy to understand that Sonia Lemos made a shift from Bossa Nova to Samba de Raiz music with Afro-Brazilian religion influence, such like Clara Nunes and Beth Carvalho. Let’s see.

This is Sonia Lemos – Perola de Agonita (1976), for Continental, featuring Sonia Lemos 8 years after her successful debut LP. Definitively, she is also a great Samba interpreter, but not in the first tier, such as Clara Nunes. I could not find much information about Sonia Lemos to bring more clarification on her shift, but Pedra de Agonita is solid, like any other recording in the style and counts with a constellation of Brazilian musicians.

Sergio Ricardo & Lindolfo Gaya – Esse Mundo e Meu (OST) (1965)

This is a Caetano Rodrigues contribution that was waiting for a chance for a several weeks. Blame it on zecalouro for it. He kept on secret a wonderful and very hard to find LP, anyway, Christmas is coming and maybe he wants to release the some nice surprises to celebrate.

Meet, Sergio Ricardo & Lindolfo Gaya – Esse Mundo E Meu (OST) (1965), for Forma as FM-5. The collectors use to know by heart the identification code from the record labels that they like most, such as: ME-XX for Elenco, MOFB XXXX for Odeon, etc.

I never had a request for this FM-5 OST, which is really surprising.
Esse Mundo E Meu is black and white movie picture directed by Sergio Ricardo that follows two men living in a Rio de Janeiro slum: a black shoe-shiner and a white mill worker. I never saw this movie and perhaps it is not available on DVD or VHS, but the soundtrack is nice with Sergio Ricardo compositions and Lindolfo Gaya arrangements.

Personnel:

Sérgio Ricardo
acoustic guitar (3,4,8)
voice (4,6,8)
harmônica (2,5,9,10)

Wilson das Neves
drums

Irany Pinto
chords

Meirelles
flute

Edson Maciel
trombone

Waldemar Moura
trombone

Maurilio
pistão

Pinduca
piano

Malagutti
bass

Nicolino Cópia
flautim

Tracks include:

01 – Cabocla Jandira (Lindolfo Gaya)
02 – Sonho (Sergio Ricardo / Lindolfo Gaya)
03 – Chorinho da Barbearia (Sergio Ricardo)
04 – Nem Fome (Sergio Ricardo)
05 – Tempestade (Lindolfo Gaya)
06 – Pregão (Sergio Ricardo)
07 – Oxalá Meu Pai (Lindolfo Gaya)
08 – Esse Mundo É Meu (Sergio Ricardo)
09 – Tempestade (II) (Lindolfo Gaya)
10 – Cabocla Jandira (Lindolfo Gaya)

SOU UM ADMIRADOR DA OBRA DO SÉRGIO RICARDO, E ESSE DISCO É REALMENTE UMA RARIDADE! OBRIGADO, CAETANO RODRIGUES! É BOM LEMBRAR QUE GRAÇAS A ELE AS REEDIÇÕES EM CDS DE LPS ANTIGOS ESTÃO SAINDO COM AS CAPAS ORIGINAIS. COMPREI UM CD DA NEYDE FRAGA, MAIS BALANÇO”, CUJA CAPA FOI OFERECIDA PELO CAETANO. MAIS UMA VEZ, OBRIGADO E PARABÉNS!
