Antonio Carlos Jobim - Orfeu da Conceicao (1956) - 10-inch

Hello, Good Night! Today and tomorrow, Loronix is celebrating Antonio Carlos Jobim 80th Anniversary. I have mixed feelings, happiness and sadness, happiness by the opportunity to keep the Maestro memory alive and sad of do not have Antonio Carlos Jobim with us. I hope everybody enjoys our little tribute to the great Maestro. I could not make it without the great help of Caetano Rodrigues. I spoke with Caetano about this tribute and we share the same felling, the honor of make something to one of the greatest musicians of the last century.

Let's start the 48 hours by the beginning, picking up a very early Tom Jobim album released on 10-inch format. This is Antonio Carlos Jobim - Orfeu da Conceicao (1956), for Odeon, an early composition partnership between Tom and Vinicius to the soundtrack of the play Orfeu da Conceicao, featuring the guitar of Luiz Bonfa in all tracks and all songs composed by Tom and Vinicius. I think we could not select a better album to start our Tribute. Tracks Include:

01 - Um Nome de Mulher (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 - Se Todos Fossem Iguais a Você (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
03 - Mulher Sempre Mulher (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 - Eu e o Meu Amor (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
05 - Lamento no Morro (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
06 - Ouverture (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
07 - Monólogo de Orfeu (Vinicius de Moraes) with Vinicius de Moraes
