Myrzo Barroso - Myrzo (1965)

Hello! Good Evening! Loronixers were thrilled yesterday and all long today with Rosinha de Valenca Ao Vivo, a mega rare release sponsored by the great Caetano Rodrigues. Actually, Rosinha de Valenca Ao Vivo was not selected to be the closing post of yesterday, but this parrot was so tired yesterday that slept by accident, waking up this morning without understanding what happened. It was better, I'm feeling great today, with a great will to deliver a wonderful night to Loronixers.

Let's start with another of those "impossible to find" Caetano Rodrigues albums, tailored for the Brazilian friends that were following the scene at the 60's. These friends know what I'm talking about. :-)

This is Myrzo Barroso - Myrso (1965), for RCA Victor, the first and only LP recorded by Myrzo Barroso, featuring arrangements of Orlando Costa, the legendary Maestro Cipo, which I could not resist to place his picture at this post, together with Myrzo. Little is known about this album, but Myrzo liner notes makes some mentions on personnel, including Fats Elpidio (piano), Copinha (flute), Jorge Arenas and Rubens Bassini (percussion). Musical Direction is from Maestro Zaccarias. Tracks include:
