Delano (also known as Geraldo Vespar) | Orquestra Milionarios Del Rio - Bronzes & Cristais (1963)

Hello, good evening! Let's start this Monday with another album sponsored by zecalouro's mother, which is gradually becoming a great finder. Mon has been delivering solid records, presenting this time an artist and an orchestra never released before at Loronix. Let's see.

This is Delano | Orquestra Milionarios Del Rio - Bronzes & Cristais (1963), for Copacanana, featuring the Brazilian guitarist Delano backed by Orquestra Milionarios Del Rio with arrangements by Maestro Guerra Peixe and Pachequinho. I never heard about Orquestra Milionarios Del Rio, however, my searches results in two additional albums, each one with a different main performer, such as this one with Delano. The others are Orquestra Milionarios Del Rio em Hollywood featuring Ronnie Will and Orquestra Milionarios Del Rio em Hollywood Vol. 2, featuring Chaim Lewak, the legendary pianist. Maestros Guerra Peixe and Pachequinho deliver nice orchestra arrangements to back Delano guitar. Remaining personnel is not credited. Tracks include:

01 - Bronzes e Cristais (Alcyr Pires Vermelho / Nazareno de Brito)
02 - Et Maintenant (E Agora) (Gilbert Bécaud / P. Delanoe)
03 - It Happened In Athenas (M. Hadjidakis / C. Haldeman)
04 - Swedish Rhapsody (C. Wildman)
05 - Georgia On My Mind (H. Carmichael)

09 - Tema de Meia-noite (Nazareno de Brito)
10 - The Bird Man (E. Bernstein / M. David)
