Waldir Calmon e Seu Conjunto - Uma Noite no Arpege Nr. 2 (1957)

Hello, Good Night! It is hard to remember after some months, since the first Waldir Calmon LP out of his two "Arpege" series was made available at Loronix. I remember that time that someone came to me saying that his father, as a long time fan of Waldir Calmon, was really amazed to hear that record after several years and that he would me really thrilled if he could get the second one.

I did not forget this thing, Loronix was at the beginning and I got really impressed to make someone available on such way. That's the reason for Waldir Calmon e Seu Conjunto - Uma Noite no Arpege Nr.2 (1957), for Radio. It's a nice record, perhaps such like it was the music performed by Waldir Calmon on his Arpege nightclub. I was reluctant to share this LP; it was taken from a vinyl full of scratches that are still audible. However, the scratches do not spoil the experience. Tracks include:

01 - Samba no Arpège (Waldir Calmon / Luis Bandeira)
02 - Fantasia Carioca (Alcyr Pires Vermelho / Osvaldo Santiago)
03 - Apito no Samba (Luis Bandeira)
04 - Inspiração (Bruno Marnet)
05 - Foi Despacho (Sereno)
06 - Evocação (Nelson Ferreira)
07 - Dorinha Meu Amor (José Francisco de Freitas)
08 - Arrasta a Sandália (Osvaldo Marques / Benedito Lacerda)
09 - Jalousie (J. Gade)
10 - Adios Pampa Mia (Francisco Canaro / Mariano Mores / Pelay)
11 - Bicharada (Djalma Ferreira)
12 - Mambo En España (R. Marques)
