Since I started Loronix I have been thinking about posting this album. Being open and honest, I decided on making it today in response of the feedback given to the last Arthur Moreira Lima release, the first at Loronix, a contribution by AdHoc, the contributor that really rocks. AdHoc contribution was the first album recorded by Arthur Moreira Lima, totally dedicated to Ernest Nazareth compositions. This time, Arthur delivers a completely different record, less formal and featuring compositions by popular Brazilian artists, such like: Paulo Moura, Laercio de Freitas, Elomar, Heraldo do Monte, among others. Let's see.
This is Arthur Moreira Lima - Com Licenca... (1981), for Kuarup, a piano solo album recorded at Sala Cecilia Meirelles, Rio de Janeiro. According with the back cover, there was no audience and Sala Cecilia Meirelles was used by the acoustics. I would like to post a video, but my searches for a single one had failured. It is disappointing, when I was young, it was common to watch Arthur Moreira Lima performances on Brazilian TV and seems that nobody recorded a single one. Arthur Moreira Lima said that a musician called Mestre Horondino Silva has an important participation at Subindo ao Ceu giving hints on how make the "baixaria" (bass lines). Horondino Silva is also known as Dino 7 Cordas, a great Brazilian musician that never had a chance of recording a solo LP. Tracks include:
01 - Flor Amorosa (Joaquim Callado)
02 - La Brésilienne (Henrique Alves de Mesquita)
03 - Despertar da Montanha (Eduardo Souto)
04 - Fandangoso (Laércio de Freitas)
05 - Carinhoso (Pixinguinha)
06 - Gaúcho (Chiquinha Gonzaga)
07 - Mão Esquerda (Paulo Moura)
08 - Subindo ao Céu (Aristides Borges)
09 - O Cabo Pitanga (Laércio de Freitas)
10 - Seresta Sertaneza (Elomar)
11 - Chuva Morna (Heraldo do Monte)
