Varios Artistas - Introducao (1965)

Hello, good evening! There is a curiosity behind this post and this album, I will tell you. This is a contribution made in December 2006 by our great friend Caetano Rodrigues and at that time, I could not understand what was behind this album, except the concept of presenting new artists, which is quite clear through the title, Introducao. However, I did not understand the reason of the phrase "Teenager Series" in the lower right.

We received this week the visit of Juliana Mingotti, who said to be looking for this album for a couple of years. Juliana is the daughter of Wagner Mingotti, author of the first track and pianist of Wan Trio, participating also at the second track as bassist. Wan Trio is the best this album has to offer, recorded by Wagner Mingotti when he was sixteen and probably, all others are below eighteen.

In a quick search, I could realize that Silvinha was the participant that could develop a solid career and according with Juliana, Wagner Mingotti decided to terminate his artistic career after recording this album, which is again available for everyone to know the work of Wagner and all artists at this session. I am keeping the original text, with some modifications. Let's see.

This is Introducao (1965), for Mocambo, a unique opportunity to listen for the fist time several artists that we never heard before, such as: Wan Trio - Bossa Jazz, Patricia - Singer, Impulso 4 - Bossa Jazz (this one everybody knows), Tony Carbonell - Instrumental, Quinteto Berimbossa - Bossa Jazz, Joao Paulo - Singer, Silvinha - Singer, Octons - Instrumental and Ezequiel - Singer. Most of these artists were probably not successful on their careers and this is what makes this LP a very interesting piece. Tracks include:

01 - Selvagem (Wagner Mingotti) - Wan Trio
02 - Onde Está Você (Oscar Castro Neves) - Patrícia
03 - Morte de Um Deus de Sal (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli) - Impulso 4
04 - Desarmonia (Tony Carbonell) - Tony Carbonell
05 - Blues Walk (C. Brown) - Quinteto Berimbossa
06 - História de Duas Crianças (Tony Carbonell / Hernesto Domingues) - João Paulo
07 - Maria Moita (Carlos Lyra) - Silvinha
08 - Tokio's Blue (H. Silver) - Octons
09 - Paz e Amor (Ezequiel Silva / João Magalhães) - Ezequiel
10 - A Felicidade (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes) - Quinteto Berimbossa
