Zezinho e Seu Som Balanco - Rio... Suave e a Noite (195?)

Let's continue the day with the type of released that I like most, the obscure release. This is a Mr. X. contribution, Zezinho e Seu Som Balanco - Rio... Suave e a Noite (195?), for Cartaz. I've been searching for the release date of this album for weeks; my best guess is the late 50's with some chance to early 60's.

I don't know if Zezinho, Jose Baptista da Silva Jr., is a Maestro, but he is in charge of arrangements and piano with the accompaniment of Lula (piston), Drausio (trombone), Schitinie (sax), Jurandir (drums), Cacau (guitar), Gerson (bass) and Chacal, Turco and Nascimento (percussion). I'm also betting all my five dollars that Turco is in fact the legendary drummer Turquinho. Tracks include:

01 - Consolação (Baden Powell / Vinícius de Moraes)
02 - P'ra que chorar (Baden Powell / Vinícius de Moraes)
03 - Cha cha cha de las secretarias (Pepe Ruiz)
04 - Apache (John Loudermilk)
05 - Diz que fui por aí (Zé Ketti)
06 - Breakfast at Tiffany's (Henry Mancini)
07 - Garôta de Ipanema (Vinícius de Moraes / Tom Jobim)
08 - Rio (Roberto menescal - Ronaldo Boscoli)
09 - Quiz´s, quizás, quizás (Osvaldo Farres)
10 - Suave é a noite "Tender is the night" (Webster / Fain)
11 - Papouche (Shorty Rogers)
12 - Perfidia (Albert Dominguez)
