Zezinho e Seu Conjunto - Zezinho e Seu Sombalanco (1965)

Here we go on another record kindly sent by tcisalpino, which is so far our consistent FLAC contributor. tcisalpino makes something different, instead of a reposting he brings a LP never released before at Loronix, a nice and very solid album. Let's see.

This is Zezinho e Seu Conjunto - Zezinho e Seu Sombalanco (1965), for Chantecler. First thing, a few other artists with the name "Zezinho" exist, this Zezinho should not be taken as Zezinho from Zezinho e Os Copacabanas or Zezinho, the bass player. Jose Batista da Silva Junior (Zezinho) is a pianist and arranger, being an active musician since the 50's. He recorded four albums for Chantecler, being this one his debut LP. Zezinho plays piano and makes arrangements for Zezinho e Seu Sambalanco delivering above the average instrumental renditions to Bossa Nova standards and some unknown tunes. Strongly recommended. Tracks include:
