Hello, good evening! Here we go on the second album provided by the mysterious member of Ignacio’s dynasty, Jose Ignacio Jr. kindly referred as JIN at his close circle of friends in Rio. I’m glad the fire at his grandfather apartment did not burn this album, featuring a constellation of Brazilian musicians. Actually, I did not know this record existence, and it is important to make clear there is another Os Cobras albums in the same concept, released by RCA Victor in 1964, Os Cobras – O LP. Thanks JIN for this solid addition to Loronix. Let’s see.This is Moacyr Silva, Chaim Lewak, Julinho Barbosa, Waltel Branco, Edmundo Maciel e Paulinho Baterista – Os Cobras (1960), for Copacabana, presented here as a 1970 Beverly reissue, which is Copacabana subsidiary. This album is self explanatory, it impossible to ignore a record featuring such great artists, especially Moacyr Silva, not listed at Loronix first page since the beginning of 2008. Tracks include:

Hello! I gave this album (in very poor technical condition due to the many and many times it was heard), and I didn't know it was hard to find, or even that it was unknown to you, Zeca! I've downloaded and am here hearing it. delighted. Thanks, Zeca.
ReplyDeleteOops ... correcting: I HAVE this album ... and didn't nor don't GAVE it ... it was a typo.
ReplyDeleteGreat album, I searched this for a long time. It seems, that it was made in several sessions, especially track 9 sounds very different to the others, that cool Paul Desmond like altosax is great. May be this is played by Hector Costita.
ReplyDeleteA coincidence: probably at the same time it has been issued by RCA Victor an LP with the same title recorded by some of the best players of the 1960s. Chaim Lewak and Paulinho Magalhães (so-called as Paulinho Baterista) passed away in the USA. Julinho Barbosa is living in Germany since the early seventies and as far as I know Ed Maciel is retired. Chaim Lewak played many years with Moacyr Silva until he went to the USA; there he recorded with Moacyr Santos on the album "The Maestro".
