Ed Lincoln - Orgao Espetacular (1961)

I thought we would never have the chance to make a new Ed Lincoln album at Loronix and now I'm wondering why I had this wrong perception. Perhaps I got it from the vast Ed Lincoln discography with albums recorded with nicknames, such like: Berry Benton, Les 4 Cadillacs, Claudio Marcello, Muchacho nas Bocas, among several others. Ed Lincoln released several albums under his own name, they are all out of print and I have a few ones to show in the forthcoming months. Let's see.

This is Ed Lincoln - Orgao Espetacular (1961), for Musidisc, by the way, his first album at Musidisc. One of the things I like most on Ed Lincoln albums is his own picture on cover artworks, and this one is very cool, featuring a very young Ed Lincoln flying on some kind of magic cushion. Personnel is not credit, but Musidisc liner notes informs that Ed Lincoln plays piano and organ, using playback to make a line of organ and piano and even two lines of organs. The repertoire blends Brazilian standards and international songs, starting with my choice to Loronix Preview Center, 01 - Aquarela do Brasil. Tracks include:

01 - Aquarela do Brasil (Ary Barroso)
02 - Locomotion (Joe Loco)
03 - Seleção de ''Can-can'' (Cole Porter)
04 - Ai Mourrir Pour Toi (Charles Aznavour)
05 - Mulher de Trinta (Luis Antônio)
06 - Sentimental Journey (Green / Brown / Homer)
07 - Arrasta a Sandalia (Osvaldo Vasques "Baiaco" / Aurélio Gomes) Não Põe a Mão (Mutt / Arnô Canegal / Bucy Moreira)
08 - Teléco-téco Nº 2 (Nelsinho / O. Magalhães)
09 - Hey There (Adler / Ross)
10 - O Amor e a Rosa (Pernambuco / Antônio Maria)
11 - That Old Black Magic (Arlen / Mercer)
12 - Vivendo e Aprendendo (Ed Lincoln / Silvio César)
