Os Ipanemas - Os Ipanemas (1964) EP

This release closes the amazing series of three EPs sent by our great friend Caetano Rodrigues to Loronixers. Once again, something that most of us could ever realize the existence. This EP, for instance, is not included on any discography. I could only find a reference on gemm.com, which seems to be the best place for search Caetano's impossible to find records.

Meet Os Ipanemas - Os Ipanemas (1964) EP, for CBS, with a song never released in any other record, including the 1964 LP for CBS, Batida Diferente. Just to refresh our memory, Os Ipanemas is the legendary instrumental band that features Astor Silva (trombone), Marinho (bass), Wilson das Neves (drums and percussion), Rubens Bassini (drums and percussion) and Neco (acoustic guitar).

Os Ipanemas LP is available at Loronix, highly recommended; check the 06 August 2006 archive, it is right there. Tracks include:

01 - Garota de Ipanema (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 - Berimbau (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
03 - Kenya (Astor Silva / Rubens Bassini)
04 - Batida Diferente (Durval Ferreira)
