Som Tres - Som Tres (1969)

Since the first week the Forum was released, zecalouro made a poll to Loronixers with selections of records to be posted. This one was the winner and the green parrot did not make it since poll closing. I think it is now the time to make it happen.

This is Som Tres - Som Tres (1969), for Odeon, featuring Cesar Camargo Mariano (piano and arrangements), Saba (bass) and Toninho (bateria). In spite this cover with the trio with a night outfit in front of this beautiful swimming pool, this is considered by several reviewers as the best album released by Som Tres. I'm sorry for being postponing this release for such a long time. Tracks include:

01 - For Once In My Life (R. Miller / Murden)
02 - Moça (Antônio Adolfo / Tibério Gaspar)
03 - Se Você Pensa (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos)
04 - Blood-mary (César Camargo Mariano)
05 - Califórnia Soul (N. Ashford / V. Simpson)
06 - Homenagem a Mongo (César Camargo Mariano)
07 - Que Pena (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
08 - Tijuana (Laércio de Freitas)
09 - There's Gona Be a "Showdown" (Gamble / Huff)
10 - Caruarú (Belmiro Barrela)
