Fats Elpidio - Samba da Madrugada (1962)

Let's check this repost of one of the albums that I like most at Loronix, featuring Fats Elpidio, a renowned Brazilian pianist that makes some different of what we are used to hear, he plays organ on this release. Everything is improved with this repost, from cover artworks to the music, including the FLAC alternative. Fats Elpidio performs a repertoire of Sambas and the arrangements are in charge of the great Maestro Nelsinho. I will keep part of my original text bellow.

This is Fats Elpidio e Seu Conjunto - Samba da Madrugada (1962), for Masterplay, featuring Fats Elpidio at the piano and a combo, with non-credited musicians. This Fats Elpidio work is pretty different from the last one, much more swinging and dedicated to Samba rhythms with organ playing. Tracks include:

01 - Gamação (João Roberto Kelly)
02 - Dá Uma Surra Nela (Fernando Costa / Rossini Pinto)
03 - Tamanco no Samba (Orlann Divo / Hélton Menezes)
04 - Gosto de Você de Graça (João Roberto Kelly)
05 - Nós e o Mar (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
06 - Na Cadência do Samba (Ataulfo Alves / Paulo Gesta)
07 - Samba da Madrugada (Dora Lopes / Carminha Mascarenhas / Herotides)
08 - Volta Por Cima (Paulo Vanzolini)
09 - Na Roda do Samba (Orlann Divo / Hélton Menezes)
10 - Vertical (Orlann Divo / Roberto Jorge)
11 - Seu Amor (Silvio Viana)
12 - História (Nilo Sergio)

  2. Zeca-
    This album brought back a lot of very fond memories. My late Grandfather was a big fan of organ music from the 50s and 60s of all genres. He died 20 years ago this month. You have really touched me with this release. I shed a few tears while listening to this and thinking of him.
