Paulinho - Prestige Apresenta Paulinho para Animar sua Festa (1959)

Hello, Good Evening! The recently discovered Prestige label is truly amazing. Tiny and obscure, their records have the best of instrumental music from the glory end of 50's and beginning of 60's decades. Prestige also used that trick of calling well-known artists to record nice albums under fake names, such as Musidisc did with Bob Fleming, which was in fact Moacyr Silva. Anyway, this is not about fake names, we have a real artist here, on another nice Prestige release.

This is Paulinho - Prestige Apresenta Paulinho para Animar Sua Festa (1959), for Prestige. The second Paulinho album was presented a month ago and performed very well. Paulinho, also known as Paulinho Magalhaes, is the renowned musician who collaborated with Sergio Mendes, Bola Sete and many others. Personnel is not credited. Tracks include:

01 - El Manisero (Vendedor de Amendoin) (M. Simons) Ave Maria Lola (S. G. Siaba) Carioca (V. Youmans) Lullaby Of Birdlaind (G. Shearing / B. Y. Forster)
