Dick Farney Trio - 5 Anos de Jazz (1977)

Here we go again with this amazing record that deserves the status of the "closing post" of the day. However, it always happen, I look at this cover late at night and I fell disturbed and afraid, so let's make it earlier, a wonderful LP showing the jazz pianist side of this great artist.

This is Dick Farney Trio - 5 Anos de Jazz (1977), for London, recorded live. I don't know where this LP was record, maybe on a small place taking in consideration the number of hands clapping. I spoke with Caetano in Sao Paulo about this LP and he strongly recommends, Caetano does not use to be wrong. Dick Farney Trio is Dick Farney (piano), Saba (bass) and Toninho (drums). I'm showing a video originally posted on YouTube by the great Loronixer Paulo Bitencourt. You can visit his website at http://www.bitencourt.net. As Paulo said, this is a late Dick Farney and his voice is not on his best, he sings Copacabana and I strongly recommend that you watch it. Tracks include:

01. Brandenburg Gate (Dave Brubeck)
02. Autumn Leaves (Les Feuilles Mortes) (Kosma / J. Prevert / Mercer)
03. We'll Be Together Again (Fischer / Laine)
04. Besame Mucho (Consuelo Velasquez)
05. Three To Get Ready (Dave Brubeck)
06. Our Love Is Here To Stay (Ira Gershwin / George Gershwin)
