Andre Penazzi - Orgao, Balanco e Percurssao (1965)

With our last Lafayette post, zecalouro made an exercise, listing all Brazilian organists from the 60's. zecalouro was quite sure that the list was a final work, ready to be filed on a given space on his cage.

Refer, an active and knowledgeable Loronixer, very friend of us, demonstrated once again that zecalouro was wrong. As a matter of fact, zecalouro is allways wrong. It is time to retrieve the organist list and – thanks to Refer - make an important addition: Andre Penazzi, presented here to Loronixers with the LP Orgão, Balanço e Percussão (date uncertain, probably early 60's).

Orgão, Balanço e Percussão is a surprising instrumental LP, with Penazzi organ sounding rusty and dirty on 12 well-known Bossa Nova songs. There is a lot of Samba on this LP, with a rhythm section performing nicely on foreground.
