Today at 7pm, I started the upload of what was supposed to be the last post of the day. Now it is twenty past midnight and the gauge shows 93% complete. Just read an email from g picanco demonstrating what I thought it was a rumor: an abnormal activity of people using Brazilian government tax application at the same time is making traffic overload. Anyway, it is late, so I'm giving up that choice. However, the day is not ruined, just the opposite, this is a most wanted release and everybody will enjoy it. Thanks once again Caetano for this very hard to find LP.This is The Girls from Bahia - Pardon my English (1967), for Warner. The Girls from Bahia is the name used for Quarteto em Cy on their initiative to conquer USA audiences in the late 60's. This LP was recorded and released in the United States, featuring arrangements by Oscar Castro Neves and produced by Ray Gilbert and Aloysio de Oliveira. For the convenience of everybody, that nice Quarteto em Cy video with Marcos Valle at the Andy Williams Show is also being reposted bellow. Tracks include:
01 - Pardon My English (Samba Torto) (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira / Vrs. Ray Gilbert)
02 - Makin' Whoopee (Donaldson / Kahn)
03 - Tears (Razão de Viver) (Eumir Deodato / Paulo Sergio Valle / Vrs. Ray Gilbert)

Loronixers.......please see the post " A PROPOSAL FOR CAETANO" in the Forum. Perhaps you are not aware that the Forum is even there. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page on the right side. We need your help.
ReplyDeleteHá "séculos" tentava conseguir essa raridade "Pardón my english" com o nosso Quarteto em Cy e graças ao Loronix aqui está. Obrigado mesmo!
ReplyDeleteAinda espero conseguir o disco do QemCy "And roses ... and roses..." pra juntar a minha coleção dessas espetaculares "meninas" de ouro do nosso cancioneiro, tão injustamente esquecidas, como, de resto, grande parte da genuína arte brasileira.
Parabéns, Loronix, continue com o brilhante trabalho.
Esquecidas como também é, sem demérito para o Vinícius, o real descobridor e arranjador das meninas: Carlos Castilho, irmão do Bebeto. Eu tive o privilégio de vê-las no Zicartola, com o Castilho ao violão, quando ainda tinham o nome de 'As Bahianinhas'.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a bunch of vinyl LPs last time I was in Sao Paulo. Lots of Walter Wanderley. I also have a bunch of Baden Powell on vinyl. He's my favorite guitarist.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Brasil 8 times! Ubatuba was my favorite!
Good to see your blog.
