Muchacho nas Bocas - Um Sax Muito Louco (1973) featuring Moacyr Silva and Ed Lincoln

Hello, Good Night! I'm starting today with this obscure LP that I was lucky to find on those R$1 bargains in Rio de Janeiro. In a first sight, the cover was not inspiring, but the record label was Equipe and the price given worth the enterprise. I use to wash all records I bought as soon as I get home, also playing a little bit of them. It was necessary to listen everything to recognize the sax of the legendary Moacyr Silva and the organ of Ed Lincoln. Later on I could double check on Sombras, a website that you should not miss, owned and maintained by Sergio Ximenes that has been for years serving one of the most complete Brazilian music discographies at the Internet. Sombras is http://www.sombras.com.br.

This is Muchacho nas Bocas - Um Sax Muito Louco (1973), for Equipe, a short and relaxed sax and organ duel by Moacyr Silva and Ed Lincon on top of a popular repertoire that you will recognize easy. Just a warning for perfectionists, the overall quality of the music is good, however, two tracks were marked by a deep scratch, still audible, but without spoiling the listening pleasure. Tracks include:

01 - Tem Capoeira
02 - Minha Viola
03 - Amor, Amor
04 - Desafio
05 - Ninguem Tasca (Gaviao)
06 - Se Ela Quer
07 - Mexe Mexe
08 - Esperancas Perdidas
09 - A Danca do Cafune
10 - Baba de Quiabo

makes fun just to listen to this mix samba beat/ and relaxing playing-Moacyr really blows fine in his later years.A nice album for driving car.
