Simonetti e Orquestra RGE - E Disco... Que Eu Gosto Nr. 2 (1959)

I was thinking about releasing this album when the Formula One race driver Kimi Raikkonen got the season championship for Ferrari two weeks ago, but I forgot by that time. There were two reasons, Maestro Simonetti is Italian and Ferrari is an Italian racing team and Simonetti wears red while Ferrari has a red color. Perhaps I'm going nuts with these crazy associations. Anyway, several friends were asking for another Simonetti album and I'm glad to show this one, the second out of a series of two "E Disco que Eu Gosto" LPs for RGE. Let's see.

This is Simonetti e Orquestra RGE - E Disco... Que Eu Gosto Nr. 2 (1959), for RGE, once again, an above the average orchestra album delivered by RGE and a nice cover showing Simonetti creative process, really funny. Everybody says that cover artwork from the past is much better than today and I totally agree, especially when they make it with a picture of the main performer. E Disco... Que Eu Gosto Nr. 2 brings a repertoire blending Brazilian and international songs with very creative arrangements by Simonetti. Tracks include:

01 - Na Baixa do Sapateiro (Ary Barroso)
02 - Piove (Domenico Modugno / Verde)
03 - All The Way (S. Cahn / J. Van Heusen)
04 - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (J. Kern / O. Harbach)
05 - Swedish Rhapsody (C. Wildman)
06 - Cai Cai (Roberto Martins)
07 - Madureira Chorou (Carvalhinho / Julio Monteiro)
08 - I've Got You Under My Skin (Cole Porter)
09 - Danse Avec Moi (F. Lopes / A. Hornez)
10 - Carioca (V. Youmans)
11 - At The End (Of a Rainbow) (J. Krondes / S. Jacobson)
