Moacyr Silva e Seu Conjunto - Sax Sensacional! Nr. 2 (1961)

It is good to be back showing albums after a full day without new releases and much work to make our resources available on the temporary server. Actually, this post is a kind of personal catharsis after a day of many difficulties. Moacyr Silva is one of my favorite artists, and this album was one of the first I prepared for Loronix using my limited vinyl transfer resources at that time. This upgrade includes improvements on several aspects, from cover scans with removed scratches, a better transfer and the corrupted track 08 now fixed. Let's see.

This is Moacyr Silva e Seu Conjunto - Sax Sensacional! Nr. 2 (1961), for Copacabana, with the acclaimed Moacyr Silva backed by Conjunto featuring the gifted pianist Chaim Lewak, Paulinho Baterista, Jorge Marinho, Geraldo and Rubens Bassini. Moacyr Silva delivers a repertoire blending Brazilian and American standards on the second Sax Sensacional! album from a series of 5 released by Copacabana, some of them are already available at Loronix and you can use Loronix Find It to check them out.
