Fats Elpidio - Fats Samba (1964)

I have to admit that my first contact with Fats Elpidio was here at Loronix. Caetano is responsible for making this extraordinary artist available for us through one of his first contributions, Fats Elpidio - Piano Bossa Nova (1960), here. This is probably the last solo album by Fats Elpidio. I made a short research and now I known that Fats Elpidio, is probably alive and after this supposed last release he joined the legendary Orquestra Tabajara, made several records as a side man and was also member of Elza Soares and Eliana Pittman support group as a sideman. It is unbelievable that he did not make more albums as main performer.

This is Fats Elpidio - Fats Samba (1964), for Copacabana. The cover you see and the music you hear is from a later issue by Beverly. Fats Samba is the kind of album that can make dance and kick around the house even the most timid friend in the world. Personnel lists top-notch musicians, delivering the best they could make under musical direction of the great Moacyr Silva. Thanks a million Caetano. Tracks include:
