Elza Soares - Um Show de Elza (1965)

Elza Soares released several albums in the 60's, all for Odeon, starting in 1960 with her debut LP, Se Acaso Voce Chegasse, until her last Odeon release in 1973, a self-titled album with a picture of Elza Soares making a bored face, not so nice as this one. I think we have covered most of this glorious "Odeon phase", but this one, Um Show de Elza, is perhaps one of the best albums of her Odeon phase, such like the acclaimed Com a Bola Branca that follows this release. Both albums have something in common, Maestro Nelsinho in charge of arrangements.

This is Elza Soares - Um Show de Elza (1965), for Odeon. Elza Soares and Nelsinho partnership delivers flawless results. Nelsinho understands Elza Soares, his arrangements blends with Elza rough voice, making a trombone and voice dual really unique. The repertoire selected needs also to be highlighted with Elza Soares mixing old songs from Lupscinio Rodrigues and Ary Barroso with fresh material delivered by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Donato, including also a song written by the legendary Garrincha 06 - Pe Redondo, Elza's husband at that time. Tracks include:

01 - Ocultei (Ary Barroso)
02 - Verão no Meu Rio (Carla Baroni / Carlito)
03 - Dindi (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira)
04 - Samba da Minha Terra (Dorival Caymmi)
05 - Ombro a Ombro (Lourenço Quintanilha / Izidro Quintanilha)
06 - Pé Redondo (Garrincha)
07 - Vingança (Lupicínio Rodrigues)
08 - Sambou Sambou (João Mello / João Donato)
09 - Porque e Para Que (Jaime Florence "Meira" / Fernando César)
10 - Neném (Luis Bandeira / Anselmo Mazzoni)
11 - Cais do Porto (Capiba)
12 - Se Acaso Você Chegasse (Lupicínio Rodrigues / Felisberto Martins)
