We are back with Jorge Mello’s contributions, which are amazing in quality and also in size. I did not reach nearly half of the albums made available by him. Thanks once again, Jorge. This record was one of the first I prepared, but decided not to publish, since it was released earlier by Quimsy in his great Quimsy Mumbo Jumbo. However, I realized today with a back cover reading that Maestro Mário Castro Neves delivers arrangements and I could not resist on making at Loronix. Let’s see.This is Sebastiao Tapajos – Sebastiao Tapajos e Sua Guitarra Cosmica (1968), for Forma, the third Sebastiao Tapajos career LP, produced by Joao Mello and arranged by Maestro Mario Castro Neves. The album opens with The Door’s Light my Fire, but soon turns back to the safe Brazilian music terrain with compositions by Sebastião Tapajos, Rildo Hora, Jorge Ben, Nonato Buzar, Antonio Carlos Jobim and others. Mario Castro Neves delivers creative and unique arrangements, actually, orchestrations, changing everything we are used to hear on standards like Wave and Zazueira. Tracks include:
01 - Light My Fire (Morrison / Manzarek / Densmore / Krieger)
02 - Rio das Ostras (Silveira)
03 - A Estrela e o Astronauta (Rildo Hora / Mário Castro Neves)
04 - Call Me (T. Hatch)
05 - Luar Em Veropeso (Tito Madi)
06 - Eu Quase Sozinho (Sebastião Tapajós)
07 - Cantiga de Errante (Rildo Hora / Heitor Quintella)
08 - A 200 P/h (Sebastião Tapajós)
09 - Zazueira (Jorge Ben)
10 - Wave (Tom Jobim)
11 - Sinhazinha (Nonato Buzar / Paulinho Tapajós)
12 -La Mentira (Álvaro Carrillo)

ReplyDeleteLindo álbum! Vai ser o tema dessa manhã. Aos sábados, quando recebo a visita do meu pai, mostro as novidades da semana e este, sei que ele também vai adorar...

hey loronix man, you turned me on to so much music. for years and years, i've been mostly a fan of psychedelic guitar music. though it doesnt really fit the picture, i'm virtually traveling through Brazilian music for the last years. here, i found hundreds of different music styles, each one a world of its own. bonfa, tom, vinicius, cartola, quarteto novo, zimbo, elis, nara, os mutantes, bola sete - all those people are now friends of mine. the music you're promoting speaks to me on a very very visceral base, and i'm discovering new stuff every day. maybe my favourite record of all is Vinicius' "Como Dizia O Poeta". i have no idea who the lady singing on Tarde em Itapoa is, but I'm absolutely in love with her.
ReplyDeletegreat work

An interesting interlude in Tapajos recording career, not his best work. A touch of the Austin Powers here. Light My Fire i have to say is dreadful & on this & some other tracks there is bad intonation between the guitar & orchestra. Fortunately his albums after this were more indicative of his enormous talent & musicality.
