Bil Bell - Rosa Morena | Sambas que Nao Se Esquece (1970)

Here we go on another Caetano Rodrigues contribution, showing this time a new artist to Loronixers, which is probably a well-known artist using a fake name to record on another label bypassing his contract obligations. This mysterious artist uses the name of Bil Bell or Bil Bel varying on each album recorded. Let's see.

This is Bil Bell - Rosa Morena | Sambas que Nao Se Esquecem (1970), for Tropicana. Tropicana is Columbia subsidiary that recorded some nice albums such as Samba 5 - Moderninho (1970) and the fantastic Bwana Trio - Bwana Trio (no date), both available at Loronix. Bil Bell is a sax player and he delivers instrumental renditions of Samba standards. Tracks include:

01 - Teleco
02 - Faceira
03 - Lá Vem a Baiana
04 - Apito no Samba
05 - Meditação
06 - Samba de Uma Nota Só
07 - Se Acaso Você Chegasse
08 - Rosa Morena
09 - É Luxo Só
10 - Chega de Saudade
11 - Desafinado
12 - Menina Moça

    Zeca , Caetano- this is simply fantastic.I am just thinking about who is Bill Bell ? Hector Costita could be possible to be.I think I heard some songs on an album in the past but i don`'t know where but perhaps I am wrong because I am not on my highest level at moment
    Why Caetano makes so difficult puzzles (smile)

    Thanks a lot

    Best wishes
