Moacyr Peixoto - Um Piano Dentro da Noite (1979)

Very difficult decision. The family Peixoto gave several artists to Brazilian music, Moacyr Peixoto is the son of Elisario Peixoto, also known as Dadinho, nephew of the legendary pianist Nono and brother of three other artists, the pistonist Araken Peixoto, the singer Andyara and the most famous from the family, the singer Cauby Peixoto. I was decided to show Cauby Peixoto to Loronixers, but as I said the day would be more instrumental oriented.

This is Moacyr Peixoto - Um Piano Dentro da Noite (1979), for Eldorado, featuring the piano of Moacyr Peixoto with bass and drums, a trio. The session was recorded such like Moacyr Peixoto played in nightclubs; everything was recorded with no studio techniques and no arrangements. Twenty-six songs were recorded in three hours of studio time and nice tunes were selected to this album. Another strike by Luiz Harding. Tracks include.
