Walter Wanderley - Entre Nos (1964)

I don't have words to explain how good is this Walter Wanderley album that I had the chance to hear for the first time today. Although not available at Loronix, Entre Nos was not on my hunting list. Thanks Cesar Saldanha for pointing and thanks Caetano Rodrigues for making this fantastic contribution. The vinyl was on perfect condition and the conversion to digital was very well done. Caetano Rodrigues is the master of creating MDs from vinyl.

This is Walter Wanderley - Entre Nos (1964), for Philips. The name "Entre Nos" has a reason, this is the first Walter Wanderley album for Philips and the name Entre Nos (among us) is something like a celebration to the new artist on Philips cast. Philips gave everything to Walter Wanderley, he is backed his Conjunto and a not credited orchestra. The mix of organ and orchestra is really nice and Walter Wanderley Conjunto delivers an awesome Samba Jazz beat. You should not miss this one. Tracks include:

01 - Telefone (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
02 - Berimbau (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
03 - Samba das Cores (Wilma Camargo)
04 - Por Causa de Você Menina (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
05 - Fica Mal Com Deus (Geraldo Vandré)
06 - Mas Que Nada (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
07 - Pula Baú (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
08 - Chove Chuva (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
09 - Samba no Balanço (Jorge Duarte)
10 - Gimbo (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
11 - Velas da Minha Vida (Denis Brean)
12 - Carnaval Triste (Paulo Bruce / Sergio C. de Almeida)
