Resala's Band - Resala's Band (1969)

Warning, don't let the guy wearing a Tuxedo with the face of Mr. Bean with all these girls around him cheat you, I don't use to express my personal opinions about the albums, but with this one I want to break this rule, this LP is fantastic. Caetano said the same before giving it to us. If you buy the music by the cover, sometimes you have bad surprise and sometimes you have wonderful ones. I'm happy that this is an above average record.

This is Resala's Band - Resala's Band (1969), for RCA Victor. There is one thing that should be understood, Resala has a leader, Turquinho, the legendary drummer, already released with great success here. This is something different, a Jazz band LP lead by a drummer, so you will have a band of top-notch musicians supporting a drummer that plays wide and loud. I said it is not an any given LP, it is a record for grown-ups. Stay with tracks and personnel listing.

Personnel: Resala "Turquinho" (drums), Edgar "Capitão", Dorival "Buda", Erotides "Cunhado" and Waldir (pistom), Severino "Bill", Arlindo, Firmo, Francisco "Paco" and Iran (trombones), José Ferreira "Casé" and Arnaldo "Dinho" (sax alto), Helio Marinho and José Ribamar (sax tenor), Percio "Goiabinha" (sax baritono), Xu Viana and Gabriel (bass), Rubens "Rubão" (percussion), Paulo Lima, Zezinho and Mário Casali (Piano).
