Leal Brito - Um Piano Dentro da Noite (1953)

I think we will not go wrong making two albums in the 10-inch format in a row, starting with a very old album that I had the chance to take in opposite conditions, a perfect cover, just as it was released in 1953 and a really scratch media that I had to put some effort to make it ready. Let's see this first.

This is Leal Brito - Um Piano Dentro da Noite (1953), for Musidisc. There is something with this cover that makes me feel afraid of it, but it is a nice work made 54 years ago. This cover also brings something really common in the 50's, no credits to main performer, which is only credited at the back cover. Um Piano Dentro da Noite is a piano solo album, performed by Leal Brito, also known as Britinho, a very active musician in the 50's. Tracks include:

01 - Cabelos Brancos (Marino Pinto / Herivelto Martins) Tu (Ary Barroso) Feitiço da Vila (Noel Rosa / Vadico)
02 - Oracion Caribe (Agustin Lara) India (José Asunción Flores / Manuel Ortiz Guerrero) Usted (Gabriel Ruiz / J. A. Zorilla)
03 - Dia de Sol (Leal Brito "Britinho") Casinha da Colina (Tradicional) Nova Ilusão (José Menezes / Luis Bittencourt)
04 - Nem Eu (Dorival Caymmi) Sertaneja (René Bittencourt) Três Apitos (Noel Rosa)
05 - Ai Que Saudades da Amélia (Ataulfo Alves / Mário Lago) Alguém Como Tu (José Maria de Abreu / Jair Amorim) Maringá (Joubert de Carvalho)
06 - Seu Eu Morresse Amanhã (Antônio Maria) Foi Ela (Ary Barroso) Menino Grande (Antônio Maria)
