Bob Fleming - Mr. Sax Serie C

Hello, good night! I will start the day saying Welcome! to several new friends that had their first contact with Loronix today. Mariana Barros, from a major Brazilian newspaper in Sao Paulo, Folha de Sao Paulo, wrote an article mentioning Loronix, Thanks Mariana!

I made a try today to scare zecalouro with this cover and he could not understand that the image of a kitten as a real kitten. Perhaps the capacity of associate pictures with real forms is only a human gift. Ok! I'm finished with rubbish, let's talk about the music.

This is Bob Fleming - Mr. Sax Serie C (no date), for Musidisc. If you are thinking we have a new artist to explore or a special post of an international musician, don't stop reading. Bob Fleming is Moacyr Silva, the legendary Brazilian sax player with many LPs already presented to Loronixers. I could not check Moacyr Silvas reasons to adopt this alternative name for some recordings on Musidisc. Caetano is also also very interested to understand this character, Bob Fleming, since Bob Fleming still releasing for Musidisc after Moacyr Silva departure to Copacabana (record label).

The questions are many, for instance: Moacyr Silva performed which Bob Fleming records? Who is the second Bob Fleming besides Moacyr Silva? If you have something to add to this pile of uncertain, feel free to come and say. By the way, this record is truly amazing. Tracks include:

01 - Manhattan (Rodgers / Hart)
02 - I Get a Kick Out Of You (Cole Porter)
03 - Dancing In The Dark (Schwartz / Dietz)
04 - Who (O. Harbach / O. Hammerstein II)
05 - I Won't Cry Anymore (A. Frisch / Freiwise)
06 - Affair To Remember (Harold Adamson / Harry Warren)
07 - Blue Moon (Rodgers / Hart)
08 - I'm In The Mood For Love (MC Hugh / Heusen)
09 - All My Tomorrows (Sammy Cahn / Heusen)
10 - Over The Rainbow (Harold Harlen / E. Y. Harbourg)
11 - Exodus (Gold)
12 - Stellaby (Washington / Victor Young)

  2. The JazzMan,

    Blame it on the Brazilian music. Endless.

    Actually, I think you will never resist to a beautiful cover like this one with Moacyr Silva blowing inside it.

    Keep the pace.

  4. I listen this CD for years, a Jazz quartet performing extraordinary versions of Jazz Standards.
    Old analogue Stereo recording from 1958, but the performance is World Class, I already got to have 3 copies stored of this musical gem!!
    Fleming have a Big Tone and clean ''voice'' and his style is real cool and precise. Definitive performance of these songs.
    Thankyou Mr.Moacyr Silva and Band.
