Geraldo Vespar, Maestro, arranger, composer, and guitarist is truly a genius. A musician that influenced several generations through years. As guitarrist, an innovator, positioned at the same level as Baden Powell and others. I'm making something different with this post making available a link to the song Diz que Fui por Ai (Ze Ketti / Hortencio Rocha) with Nara Leao and Geraldo Vespar on guitar from the LP Nara (1964), for Elenco.Geraldo Vespar plays with a single percussion accompaniment, starting a new style of playing. Make a try; even if you are not a musician, you will be pleased with Vespar guitar backing Nara.
This is Diz que Fui por Ai:
This is Geraldo Vespar - Eu e o Violao (1968), for Parlophone, another release provided by Caetano Rodrigues that I was saving for the right time, but several Loronix friends were requesting this LP, which is not easy to find, and I could not wait longer. Such beautiful that is self-explanatory, nothing can go wrong with Eu e o Violao. Tracks include:
01 - Sá Marina (Antônio Adolfo / Tibério Gaspar)
02 - Eu e a Brisa (Johnny Alf)
03 - Desencontro (Chico Buarque)
04 - Feitiço da Vila (Noel Rosa / Vadico)
05 - Viola Enluarada (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
06 - Por Que (Geraldo Vespar / Mário Telles) -- Bourrê (Geraldo Vandré)
07 - Corcovado (Tom Jobim)
08 - Até Segunda Feira (Chico Buarque)
09 - No Brilho da Faca (Wagner Tiso / Novelli / Paulo Sergio Valle)
10 - Mancada (Gilberto Gil)
11 - Olê Olá (Chico Buarque)
12 - Lapinha (Baden Powell / Paulo César Pinheiro)

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt was just a minor cosmetic issue that should be fixed along the day.
Do not worry about this.
Thanks.
Cheers, zecalouro
Seems to be fixed. Downloading it now.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day Zeca.
Another winner from Zeca. How does he do it?
ReplyDeleteComparisons might be made to Baden but Geraldo seems to be a lot freer (and even prettier if I can take the liberty of using that description)than Baden. Certainly less complicated to listen to. This one is great to settle down with a cocktail or two.
Jazzman,
ReplyDeleteDon't miss the extra track with Nara Leao, it's wonderful to hear how Geraldo's guitar blends so fine with everything, masterpiece.

General Zeca:
ReplyDeleteConcerning the Nara Leao Lp on Elenco: is the entire Lp her and Geraldo like the one track you posted? I like this track a lot.

Admiral Carter,
ReplyDeleteGeraldo Vespar plays guitar on Diz que Fui por Ai, track 02.
Baden Powell plays guitar on Vou por Ai, track 08.
What a great contest! Don't you think?
The record is all great with arrangements of Lindolfo Gaya in all tracks, except the last one, Nana by Moacir Santos.
Cheers,
zeca, your disciple
I just found this site and have not complete looked over it. In the early 1970's I learned a song named 'Sa Marina' played by Geraldo Vespar. The rest of the album is just as good by the great guitarist. Is there anyway I can find this album again. I don't know the name of it but it contained that song. Please help if you can. Thanks, George Ates
