Andre Penazzi - Orgao Samba Percussao Vol. 2 (1963)

Hello, Good Evening! Let's start addressing a request from friends who shout for Audio Fidelity albums and for Andre Penazzi LPs. I'm addressing both with Andre Penazzi recording for Audio Fidelity, a label that has a value proposition and really excels in terms of recording quality. First, I have to admit that syringe is very disturbing and I could only understand that it is a graphic representation of something Audio Fidelity calls as "Doctored for Super-Sound" a couple of weeks ago. Let's see.

This is Andre Penazzi - Orgao Samba Percussao Vol. 2 (1963), for Audio Fidelity. In fact, this vinyl has a very good output. It is also funny to read the back cover, with a lot of technical information on recording engineering wrote by Sidney Frey, Audio Fidelity president and only a tiny box describing the main performer, Andre Penazzi. Anyway, I recommend this one, so far the best album I heard by the Brazilian organist Andre Penazzi. Tracks include:

01 - O Apito no Samba (Luis Bandeira / Luis Antônio)
02 - Zelão (Sergio Ricardo)
03 - A Tua Vida É Um Segredo (Lamartine Babo)
04 - Samba Em Prelúdio (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
05 - Se Acaso Você Chegasse (Lupicínio Rodrigues / Felisberto Martins)
06 - Tamanco no Samba (Orlann Divo / Hélton Menezes)
07 - Eu Não Tenho Onde Morar (Dorival Caymmi)
08 - Agora É Cinza (Alcebíades Barcelos "Bide" / Armando "Marçal")
09 - Menino Desce Daí (Paulinho Nogueira)
10 - Tem Bobo Pra Tudo (João Correia da Silva / Manoel Brigadeiro)
11 - Implorar (Kid Pepe / Germano Augusto / Gaspar)
12 - Na Cadência do Samba (Ataulfo Alves / Paulo Gesta)

Thanks for this wonderful LP by Penazzi. I would not mind a bit if you post more of his Audio Fidelity LPs. Even in Mono, it sounds great. I think his LPs for Audio Fidelity are better than the ones for Som Maior. Don't you agree? Another request is for more Lps by Bola Sete for Odeon. And also Waldir Calmon(Copacabana Label?). Thanks in advance. Your site really rocks.

Elso,

I need to say thank you for pointing the way, this one is really above Penazzi's average.

Just record your hints, pretty easy to find Waldir Calmon at Copacabana, while the late 50's Bola Sete releases for Odeon are on top of my hunting list for a year.

Cheers, zeca
