Saraiva - Sobre o Ritmo das Ondas (1964)

We have been with great Brazilian sax players since Loronix beginning, such like Paulo Moura, Moacyr Silva, Zito Righi, Juarez Araujo and many others. However, some others musicians that dedicated his life to this instrument or this family of instrument did not reach our website already. This post comes to show one of these artists that never had a career album made available to our community, although active on recordings or studio sessions. I think that Saraiva is a great start to this series, I could not find much info about him, but he recorded several albums, being this one his first. Let's see.

This is Saraiva - Sobre o Ritmo das Ondas (1964), for Continental, presented here by a mid-70's Phonodisk reissue. Saraiva does not keep his playing connected with a given style, delivering Sambas, Boleros and mostly Choros. You will not find Bossa Nova standard tunes at Sobre o Ritmo das Ondas, all tracks are composed by Luiz dos Santos, which is probably the own Saraiva. I think Loronixers will receive Saraiva with enthusiasm; this is a very nice record, released in the Bossa Nova age with a repertoire of Choros, a genre that almost disappeared during the 60's. Tracks include:

01 - Bodas de Ouro (Luis dos Santos / Alfredo Celso)
02 - Corintiano (Luis dos Santos / Palmeira)
03 - Célio no Baião (Luis dos Santos / Nairson Menezes)
04 - Não Me Toque Assim (Luis dos Santos / Leonel Cruz)
05 - Mulher Fingida (Luis dos Santos / Palmeira)
06 - Galera do Nelson (Luis dos Santos / Teixeira Filho)
07 - Relembrando o Passado (Luis dos Santos / Ivanildo José da Silva)
08 - Selma (Luis dos Santos / Nelson Machado)
09 - É Disso Que Eu Gosto (Luis dos Santos / Milton José)
10 - A Natureza (Luis dos Santos / J. Luna)
11 - Morada Perdida (Luis dos Santos / Waldemar Pimentel)
12 - Foi de Lá Que Eu Vim (Luis dos Santos / Victor Settanni)
