Djalma Ferreira e Seus Milionarios do Ritmo - Depois do Drink (1959)

Hello, Good Evening! I never started that late a night at Loronix. I'm coming from Easter time with my parents. I spend always half an hour driving back from their home and today I took two. The reason was a rainstorm that finally has arrived in Rio, a late rainstorm, supposed to happen on March, but with this crazy world of today just came almost in the middle of April. I was wondering in the car, Jobim would not write Aguas de Marco as he did living in the world today, he would not write "Sao as aguas de Marco fechando o Verao". The Waters of March did not close summer this year.

Anyway, let's start with a record that has something unique, personnel listing and a different atmosphere, recorded by the owner of a label that produced coolest covers of the late 50's, Discos Drink.

This is Djalma Ferreira e Os Seus Milionarios do Ritmo - Depois do Drink (1959), for Discos Drink. Remember Djalma Ferreira, the very famous Brazilian organist from the late 50's, owner of Drink Nightclub and also responsible for the label Discos Drink. I have most of the LPs released by Djalma Ferreira e Os Seus Milionarios do Ritmo and most of them have a cover that opens showing nice drawings from that time, such like this one with the model Manon Godoy, which I'm sure Refer knows everything about.

As I said before, Personnel is unique, bringing Ed Lincoln, probably making a transition from bass to piano and organ, Waltel Branco, playing guitar and bass and Helcio Milito, drummer of the Mighty Tamba Trio. Depois do Drink has only instrumental tracks with several Hammond B3 shady effects that you will enjoy a lot. tracks include:
