Djalma Ferreira com Orgao e Orquestra - Baile de Formatura

Hello, Good Night! I was surprised today when Trix asked for more information about Maestro Jose Briamonte and I found a very early release by him available at Submarino, which is an on-line store in Brazil. The record is Jose Briamonte - New Age Brasil (2004), not listed at Amazon. Great surprise. I thought Briamonte was retired, working outside Brazil or even making closed performances on events, but I never could realize he was recording.

Another awesome surprise is this "never heard about" album from Djalma Ferreira, probably unknown by many, so good that I could not resist to start the day showing it to Loronixers.

This is Djalma Ferreira, Com Orgao e Orquestra - Baile de Formatura (no date), for Discos Drink, featuring the organ of Djalma Ferreira, his orchestra and the always above the average arrangements of Maestro Nelsinho. Baile de Formatura is how we call the graduate balls, which is the album theme. Reading the back cover, I could also learn that Djalma Ferreira is the owner of Discos Drink and probably Drink nightclub. Tracks include:

01 - Lamento
02 - Volta
03 - Samba do Drink
04 - Fala Amor
05 - Nosso Samba
06 - Murmurio
07 - Sambadin
08 - Recado
09 - Cheiro de Saudade
10 - Foi a Saudade
11 - Cansei
12 - Casa da Lolo
