Jorge Henrique - Dancando Face a Face (1959)

Hello, good night! I received several emails from Loronixers asking for directions to purchase Caetano's book on Bossa Nova LP covers. Unfortunately, this book is out of print. I was released on a very limited edition. That's why Caetano had that idea of making that film showing what is inside to Loronixers. I hope it was useful. A digital camera with several limitations made the movie, perhaps one day we can make a second turn with more time and quality.

Let's start the day with a record that someone sent me several months ago and I could never find a reason to share, but a friend show me that this artist was of great importance in the past and made several collaborations with renowned artists, such like Luiz Bonfa on the anthological EP De Cigarro em Cigarro (1957), 10-inch, for Continental.

This is Jorge Henrique - Dancando Face a Face (1959), for Radio, featuring Jorge Henrique (organ), Alan Gordon (piano) and Hugo Lander (drums). Although Jorge Henrique is the main performer on this LP, Radio gives main performer credits to the three trio components. It will be nice to see Jorge Henrique trio with two keyboards, organ and piano and no bass player, probably, Jorge Henrique makes the bass line on his left hand. That's it; fans of Luiz Bonfa should appreciate this release. Tracks include:

01 - Cinco Letras que Choram
02 - Dois Coracoes
03 - Acercate Mas
04 - Because of You
05 - Reconciliacao
06 - Incertidumbre
07 - Cabelos Brancos
08 - Juramento Falso
09 - Concerto d'autunno
10 - Preto Velho
11 - Tedio
