I'm reposting this album to address several requests for a better quality. Friends were right, the original vinyl transfer was not well done and this one is really improved. Actually, it is nice to see this album on top again; it is one of Milton Banana Trio albums that I like most. I will keep the original text, written in December 2006.Hope uEnjoy!
I had a meeting downtown this morning that was very closed to some old vinyl shops. I left home to this meeting repeating a mantra in my head: "I will not go to the vinyl shops..", "I will not go to the vinyl shops..". However, when I left the meeting, my body was separated from my brain and such like a tractor ray or a magnet, in a matter of five minutes I found myself with dirty fingers browsing LPs.
When I put my hands on Milton Banana Trio - Milton Banana Trio (1965), for Imperial, I asked the shopkeeper if this LP was rare or not. The answer made me fell very proud, he said: "It is rare, you will not see it even in Loronix or sabadabada...”
Well, not any more, I hope he cannot remember my face in the next time. As you can see by the cover, conditions were not ideal and I had to make some extra work to clean up everything, I’m afraid if some eventual click or clack occurs. However, it is a wonderful record from an early Milton Banana and his Samba Jazz combo, which is Milton Banana (drums), Wanderley (piano) and Guara (bass). This is the later Imperial edition. Tracks include:
01 - Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 - Primitivo (Sergio Mendes)
03 - Samba de Verão (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
04 - Primavera (Carlos Lyra / Vinicius de Moraes)
05 - Nanã (Moacir Santos / Mário Telles)
06 - Samba do Avião (Tom Jobim)
07 - Minha Saudade (João Gilberto / João Donato)
08 - Ela É Carioca (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
09 - Sambou Sambou (João Mello / João Donato)
10 - Noa Noa (Sergio Mendes)
11 - Inútil Paisagem (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira)
12 - Samblues (Durval Ferreira / Maurício Einhorn)
Great LP! And "Ve" (65) and "Balancando" (66) are possibly even better still. I think the guy was bullshitting you, though, because this album, compared to RARE albums, is actually fairly common. This Imperial edition you got is from the early 70s, the Odeon original in a "capa sanduiche" plastic bag cover is still findable, I used to find these Milton Banana LPs literally on every other street corner in Rio, SP and BH!
ReplyDeleteBaita disco do Milton Banana.
ReplyDeleteGrato pelo post!
I love these early Milton Banana LP's.
ReplyDeleteThis is the only MBT I own and it's great. Instrumental bossa played by top-notch guys. Was reissued by Odeon as part as their 100 Anos series. I should check check Mr. G's other suggestions.
ReplyDeleteMBT sem palavras Zeca, sou muito fã desse cara.

Jamil
Grato Zeca por repostar este Milton Banana. O vinil anterior estava com algumas faixas bem arranhadinhas. Valeu.
ReplyDeleteExcellent classic sound! Just like Walter Wanderley, you can never go wrong with Milton Banana!
ReplyDeleteThanks again
Caro Loronix.
ReplyDeleteComo eu já mencionei antes, o seu blog deveria ser bancado pelo Ministério da Cultura. V. consegue resgatar pérolas que estão se perdendo no tempo deste Brasil. Excelente disco.
Obrigado por disponibilizar este raro material (e os outros discos do MBT também).

I noticed numerous skips and encoding glitchs on the mp3 version of this album. For instance, listen to tracks 10 and 11.
