Sacha - Sacha no Sacha's (1958)

Let's think about Casablanca, the movie with Humphrey Bogart. Humphrey Bogart, Rick at Casablanca was the owner of a nightclub Rick's America in Cafe. Rick was in Africa, in the middle of World War II, and his club was a neutral territory, Rick had the command, giving orders and running the business with authority.

This LP is about Sacha, an Austrian pianist. Sacha came to Brazil in 1948 and a couple of years later founded his own nightclub, Sacha's. According with some friends of my parents, Sacha was such like Rick, running his nightclub like his own place. The difference - what a big difference - is that Sacha plays his own piano and released some records in the 50's and 60's.

I didn't know this artist existence, thanks to Mr. X. that sent to zecalouro a later Sacha LP and then I could search for more, finding this one. This is Sacha - Sacha no Sacha's (1958), which has a perfect ambience of the old nightclubs in Rio de Janeiro. I'm sure that you will find it interesting. Tracks include:
