Teddy Garner com Lyrio Panicalli e Seus Violinos do Ceu - Sax Imortal (1961)

Hello, good evening! I'm writing an article and organizing a discography of Brazilian music albums recorded by musicians using nicknames, which was something very common in the 60's decade, and this album is a missing piece on my discography. Unlike other artists who normally used nicknames to bypass their contractual obligations, this musician adopted this name as his artistic name, and so far he is the only musician that used this tactic in my study.

Teddy Garner is the nickname of the Brazilian saxophonist Jayme Araujo de Oliveira, homage to Freddy Gardner, one of the most famous British sax players during the 30's and 40's. I have loads of information about Freddy Gardner, but I could not find a single line written about Jayme Araujo de Oliveira and his Teddy Gardner. If you know something about Jayme Araujo de Oliveira, feel free to use the comment section or write me an e-mail. So, I will be able to tell the story of this obscure musician and this interesting album. Let's see.

This is Teddy Garner com Lyrio Panicalli e Seus Violinos do Ceu - Sax Imortal (1961), for Columbia, with Jayme Araujo de Oliveira sax and Lyrio Panicalli orchestra performing renditions of American standards, based on the Freddy Gardner music. Perhaps this is the first and only album recorded by Teddy Garner, by the way, a solid start with our mysterious Jayme Araujo de Oliveira dueling with Lyrio Panicalli orchestral arrangements. Musicians on this session were not credited by Columbia, except both main performers. I'm confident Loronix community will retrieve more information about this. Tracks include:

01 - Invitation (B. Kaper)
02 - Body And Soul (Heyman / Sour / Green)
03 - Harlem Nocturne (Hagen)
04 - These Foolish Things (Strachey)
05 - Look For a Star (M. Antony)
06 - I Only Have Eyes For You (Dubin / Warren)
07 - An Affair To Remember (H. Warren / H. Adamson / L. McCarey)
08 - I'm In The Mood For Love (Fields / McHugh)
09 - Love Is a Many-splendored Thing (Paul Francis Webster / S. Fain)
10 - Valse Vanité (Wiedoeft)
11 - A Summer Place (Steiner)
