Here we go on another record kindly sent by tcisalpino, which is so far our consistent FLAC contributor. tcisalpino makes something different, instead of a reposting he brings a LP never released before at Loronix, a nice and very solid album. Let’s see.

This is Zezinho e Seu Conjunto – Zezinho e Seu Sombalanco (1965), for Chantecler. First thing, a few other artists with the name “Zezinho” exist, this Zezinho should not be taken as Zezinho from Zezinho e Os Copacabanas or Zezinho, the bass player. Jose Batista da Silva Junior (Zezinho) is a pianist and arranger, being an active musician since the 50′s.

He recorded four albums for Chantecler, being this one his debut LP. Zezinho plays piano and makes arrangements for Zezinho e Seu Sambalanco delivering above the average instrumental renditions to Bossa Nova standards and some unknown tunes. Strongly recommended.

Tracks include:

Sounds interesting. By the way, in case anyone’s wondering, “piston” actually translates as flugelhorn.

Someone shout last week for more records of the legendary Farroupilha label, recognized for his excellence on recording quality and above the average releases. There is another attribute, Farroupilha albums are in general very hard to find, and perhaps the reason for making their records sought after by collectors.
Maybe I’m wrong, Caetano sent to us one of the impossible to find, requested by many collectors at Loronix since the very first beginning. Let’s see.

This is Edison Penha e Altamir Penha – Violoes em HI-FI (1966), for Farroupilha. Little I knew about this album, I thought it was a violao only record performed by a duo, but they are backed by Airto Moreira (drums), Azeitona and Zezinho (bass) in some tracks. In spite of playing a really nice guitar, Edison and Altamir Penha are not musicians, they own an industry, Companhia Penha de Maquinas Agricolas and probably never had the chance (or decided) to record another album. I think the mystery of this obscure album and these obscure guys has gone to a term with this post. I will now let with you.

Personnel:

Altamir Penha, Edison Penha
