This post is to address an old request made by Mr. D&C. I'm really happy to find it last Sunday in Sao Paulo, it is considered hard to find and it was a real bargain. Let's see how these guys make it a Loronix, I also had great curiosity to hear the music from this band.Meet, Joni Maza e Seu Conjunto - Uma Brasa com Joni Maza (1966), for Copacabana. Joni Maza is the bandleader and plays drums, but the guy in charge of arrangements and compositions is the organist Mario Junior. They had a "long" career, releasing more three LPs after this first one and terminating in 1972.
Personnel is Joni Maza (drums), Beto (trombone), Sergio e Zamora (vocals), Adilson (bass), Ari (guitar), Antônio (sax), Nilton (tumbadora) and Mário Jr. (organ). I'm not sure if any of these members could sustain a solo career or make a life as a musician. Tracks include:
01 - Ai Que Saudades da Amélia (Ataulfo Alves / Mário Lago) -- Juraci (Antônio Almeida / Ciro de Souza) -- Helena Helena (Antônio Almeida / Constantino Silva "Secundino") -- Aurora (Roberto Roberti / Mário Lago) -- Madalena Foi Embora (Antônio Almeida / Badú)
02 - Mil Sons (Mário Júnior)
03 - O Canto da Sereia (Oswaldo Nunes)
04 - Meglio Stasera (Henry Mancini / F. Migliacci)
05 - Brotinho Avançado (Joni Maza / Mário Júnior)
06 - Um Olho Só (Joni Maza)
07 - On Green Dolphin Street (N. Washington / B. Kapper)
08 - Recordar (Aldacir Louro / Aloísio Marins / Adolfo Macedo) -- A Lapa (Benedito Lacerda / Herivelto Martins) -- O Orvalho Vem Caindo (Noel Rosa / Kid Pepe) -- Cai Cai (Roberto Martins) -- Com Que Roupa (Noel Rosa) -- De Babado (Noel Rosa / João Mina)
09 - Tripa (Mário Júnior)
10 - Mas Eu Não Ligo (Peterpan / Uzema) -- Avisa à Maria Que Amanhã Tem Baile (Haroldo Lobo / Milton de Oliveira)
