Erlon Chaves e Sua Orquestra - Em Tempo de Samba (1961)

Caetano Rodrigues will be surprised with this post, he gave me the vinyl original issue of this LP together with the last set of contributions to Loronixers, but I think Caetano would not realize that I would like that a lot to make it available to Loronixers. Thanks again Caetano, this record is unique and I did my best to make this cover scan and convert the vinyl to digital files. I hope I could make it accordingly.

This is Erlon Chaves e Sua Orquestra - Em Tempo de Samba (1961), for RCA Victor, according with my researches, the debut LP of the great Maestro Erlon Chaves, one of Loronix favorites. This record is among one of the few releases that blends an Orchestra performance with the Samba rhythms efficiently, creating something that our Orchestra specialist Zarville calls as "Samba Orchestra". Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my feeling about this LP. Nice arrangements by an early Erlon Chaves, great since his early years. Tracks include:

01 - É Fácil Dizer Adeus (Tito Madi)
02 - O Menino Desce o Morro (De Rosa / Vera Brasil)
03 - Água de Beber (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 - O Nosso Olhar (Sergio Ricardo)
05 - Tema Oriental (Erlon Chaves)
06 - Murmúrio (Djalma Ferreira / Luis Antônio)
07 - Dindi (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira)
08 - Só Vou de Mulher (Haroldo Barbosa / Luis Reis)
09 - Descendo o Morro (Billy Blanco / Tom Jobim)
10 - Duas Contas (Garoto)
11 - Barquinho (Ronaldo Bôscoli / Roberto Menescal)
12 - A Fuga do Samba (Erlon Chaves)
