Luiz Loy Quinteto - Luiz Loy Quinteto (1966)

It is really exciting to start a new Caetano Rodrigues contribution series; Caetano sent 46 impossible to find albums to Lorinixers, most of them from the golden age, the 60's. Full listing is a secret, sorry about the friends who reach me, I cannot anticipate, there are only four people in the world who know the full listing, Caetano, his wife, zecalouro and myself. Actually three, zecalouro is not human.

Anyway, let's start great, showing a really hard to find album that combines top-notch Samba Jazz music with a wonderful cover.

This is Luiz Loy Quinteto - Luiz Loy Quinteto (1966), for RGE, featuring Luis Loy (piano), Roberto Bandeira (bass), Zinho (drums), Mazola (sax tenor, flute) and the legendary Papudinho (piston). I always though Luiz Loy was the sax player, the one we can see his back playing sax, but I was wrong. It is also a nice surprise that we will hear again thee pistonist Papudinho, which is the small guy on our left. Luiz Loy released only four albums, the first in 1962 and the last one in 1968, I don't know if he could follow a career as musician before these four fantastic albums.

Thanks Caetano for this first out of 46 (I said 46) new contributions to Loronixers. Tracks include:
