Bola Sete e Seu Conjunto - Travessuras do Bola 7 (1958)

Hello, Good evening! I never had the hope to share a single album released by the legendary Bola Sete recorded in his early Brazilian years in the 50's, but with the help of Jorge Mello, everything has changed and this is the second out of a lot of Bola Sete album from this period being released at Loronix. I think these early Bola Sete records are very important posts, his early album never were reissued in the digital age and this is an unique chance to get along with the early works of this truly amazing musician. Let's see.

This is Bola Sete e Seu Conjunto - Travessuras do Bola 7 (1958), for Odeon, featuring Bola Sete playing electric guitar backed by Conjunto and perfoming a repertorie blending Brazilian standards and a few Bola Sete compositions. As Travessuras do Bola 7 was released in the same year of Bola 7 e 4 Trombones, following the same concept with amazing guitar solos and very dancing cuts. My highlight goes to Bola Sete and Ary Barroso compositions, including also the track featured at Loronix Preview Center, Canta Brasil by David Nasser and Alcyr Pires Vermelho. Odeon did not credit musicians in this session. Tracks include:

01 - Rio de Janeiro (Ary Barroso)
02 - Adeus América (Haroldo Barbosa / Geraldo Jacques)
03 - Siga (Fernando Lobo / Hélio Guimarães)
04 - Brasil Moreno (Ary Barroso / Luis Peixoto)
05 - Calypso das Rosas (Bola Sete)
06 - Exaltação à Bahia (Vicente Paiva / Chianca de Garcia)
07 - Canta Brasil (David Nasser / Alcyr Pires Vermelho)
08 - Gingadinho (Bola Sete)
09 - Ninguém Me Ama (Fernando Lobo / Antônio Maria)
10 - Nega (Waldemar Gomes / Afonso Teixeira)
11 - Veraneio (Bola Sete)
12 - Ai Que Saudades da Amélia (Ataulfo Alves / Mário Lago)
