International Hot is the last Raul de Souza album recorded in Brazil before making the acclaimed Colors for Milestone in the USA. Before Colors, Raul de Souza was Raulzinho. It has been a while since the last Raul de Souza release, the excellent Rio with Conrad Herwig. Raul is great and his discography has many albums, most of them out of print, I think we can make Raulzinho more often at Loronix.This is Raulzinho e Impacto 8 - International Hot (1969), for Equipe. Raul de Souza and his group Impacto 8 were active for one year and recorded only this album for Equipe. Perhaps they assembled Impacto 8 only for this record, with no concerts. International Hot is a blend of Samba with American pop of that time. The outcome is a dancing album full of brass and electric guitars, a very different work in comparison to what we know as the other Raul de Souza works. Personnel features excellent musicians that became renowned in the forthcoming years, such as the drummer Robertinho Silva and the legendary Oberdan Magalhaes. Tracks include:

Excellent. He's truly and incredible musician. I recently saw an excellent short film on Raul called Viva Volta, also featuring Maria Bethânia, that I highly recommend.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Zeca, I believe the word we use in English for "piston" is "flugelhorn".
I Knew him in São Paulo, na Vila Mariana, junto com os saudosos Flavinho (Casqué, piston) e Azeitona (baixo). Great.
ReplyDeletedear zecalouro!
ReplyDeleteI visit your blog everyday! thanks for being so kind and generous..
Your work must be rewarded!
by the way, I'm a great fan of Raul de Souza!
I should tell you and the loronixers who don't know that raul has released at least 2 albuns since "rio".
I found an interesting essay on http://www.gafieiras.com.br/Display.php?Area=Entrevistas&css=2&SubArea=Biografias&ID=34&IDArtista=33
which inform us about this recordings..
I've selected a piece to show you:
" Em 1998, um novo disco solo, Rio (Mix House), que teve a participação do trombonista Conrad Herwig e interpretações para Johnny Alf (“Nós”), Djavan (“Não deu” e “Íris”), Roberto Menescal (“Rio”), Oscar Castro-Neves (“Chora tua tristeza”), Taiguara (“Pra ser brasileira”) e a dupla Tom Jobim e Chico Buarque (“Piano na Mangueira”).
Radicado em Paris desde o final da década de 1990, o homem que inventou o souzabone (um trombone elétrico com quatro válvulas) e que é considerado um dos maiores trombonistas do mundo por revistas como Down Beat e New York Jazz Magazine continua fazendo shows pela Europa, principalmente ao lado dos franceses do Claire Michael Group (em 2005 lançaram juntos o disco Elixir). De vez em quando volta ao Brasil para lançar algum novo trabalho ou então quando é homenageado, como foi o caso em 2003 com o disco Splendid night (Next Music), em 2004 no 5º Chivas Jazz, no Rio de Janeiro, e em 2005 com o lançamento do documentário Viva volta de Heloísa Passos."
thanks for all!
music!
