Good night, friends! Everybody talks about the Brazilian music from Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo and Bahia, notably, these five states are really important, they gave renowned artists and were also responsible for cultural movements such as Tropicalismo, Bossa Nova, etc.I have received more than a few e-mails from friends of Rio Grande do Sul, not with complaints, just remembering that this state gave to us legends such like Elis Regina, Manfredo Fest, among others. Breno Sauer is not considered a legend, but had an important contribution to instrumental music and was responsible for some other artists that got recognition with him, such like Garoto and Olmir Stocker aka Alemao.
Let's move the spotlight for Breno Sauer Quinteto - Sambabessa (1963), for RGE, wonderful instrumental LP featuring Breno Sauer (vibes), Olmir Stocker (guitar), Osvaldo Carrero (accordion), Portinho (drums) and Erne Eger (bass). You will probably wonder if the drummer Portinho is in fact Maestro Portinho. I could not check it, but it seems that it is just a homonymous. Tracks include:
01 - Sambabessa (Olmir Stocker "Alemão")
02 - Amor e Paz (Tito Madi)
03 - Luciana (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 - Canção do Amor Mais Triste (Édson Borges)
05 - Fim de Semana Em Paquetá (João de Barro / Alberto Ribeiro)
06 - Samba da Madrugada (Dora Lopes / Carminha Mascarenhas / Herotides Nascimento)
07 - Liberdade Demais (Hélio Nascimento / Mariano Filho)
08 - Senhorita (Tito Madi)
09 - Só Danço Samba (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
10 - Desafinado (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
11 - Lembranças (Raul Sampaio / Benil Santos)
12 - Três Amigos (Túlio Piva)
