Guimaraes e Seu Conjunto - Dancando no Fred's (late 50's)

Hello, good evening! Let's start the day with another dancing record from the late 50's, featuring a Brazilian artist that got some international recognition with an album featuring one of the earliest Airto Moreira recordings, Guimaraes e Seu Conjunto - O Fabuloso Guimaraes, already available at Loronix, here. I cannot answer the question you might be thinking, I do not have idea if Airto Moreira is on this session. Anyway, better know the album to make your own conclusions.

This is Guimaraes e Seu Conjunto - Dancando no Fred's Nr. 2 (no date), for Internacional, featuring Antonio Guimaraes piano backed by his Conjunto. Fred's was a nightclub in Copacabana, unfortunately, today I cannot bring more details about Fred's, since Caetano Rodrigues (the friend who knows everything about these old nightclubs) is not available today, but the album is above the average in the style and should bring a good entertainment. Tracks include:

01 - Chega de Saudade
02 - Unchained Melody
03 - Ontem e Hoje
04 - Echame a Mi La Culpa
05 - In a Little Spanish Town
06 - Senorita Luna
07 - Sayonara
08 - My Funny Valentine
09 - Dois Amigos
10 - Castigo
11 - Fenix
12 - Lamento
