Challenge | Who are they?

Cesar Saldanha just sent several photos that should keep us busy with challenges until Carnaval. I could not wait to make an extra challenge today. Your mission is to identify the group and musicians in this photo taken inside Bottles nightclub, Beco das Garrafas, 1964. Really nice photo.

Hope uEnjoy!

Dom Um Romano on drums, Sebastiao Neto on bass?

I recognize J.T. Meirelles, which makes me think this is Os Copa 5. I think Joe is right about Dom Um Romão, but I think the bassist would be Manoel Gusmão. I don't know for sure who the trumpeter and pianist are... Pedro Paulo and...?

J. T. Meirelles on sax, Pedro Paulo on trumpet...

Dom Um Romao, baterista; Sebastiao Neto no baixo; J.T. Meirelles, saxo

This one is easy. It's in the booklet of one of my favourite samba-jazz albums, "O Som" by Meirelles e Os Copa 5 (1964). From left to right: Pedro Paulo (Trumpet), Manoel Gusmão (bass), Dom Um Romão (drums), J.T.Meirelles (Sax) and probably the back of Toninho Oliveira (Piano).

Hi, Zeca!
I think, this guys are the first edition of Copa 5 during "O Som" sessions with J.T. Meirelles (sax),
Luiz Carlos Vinhas (piano), Dom Um Romão (dr), Manoel Gusmão (b) and Pedro Paulo (tp).
I'm prefere their second album "O Novo Som" with Deodato, Machado and Menescal more, but all of Meirelles works are great.

O ADHOC está correto, esse é o grupo original Meirelles & os Copa 5 que tocava no Beco das Garrafas, especificamente no Bottle's Bar, em 1964 com:

Meirelles - Sax
Pedro Paulo - Trompete
Dom Um - Bateria
Toninho Oliveira - Piano
Manoel Gusmão - Baixo

Parabéns!

Até breve,

Cesar Saldanha
