Celso Murilo, Orgao e Ritmo - Ritmos na Passarela (1961)

Hello, good evening! If you read my texts since Loronix beginning, you should agree with me that I don't often say that an album is very rare and very hard to find. However, there are exceptions. I never had the chance to see this album before. I made also a careful research on the Internet to find info about this one, especially a cover picture, because my original is rather damaged. The cover is breaking; almost turn dust in my hands. I got pleased when I found a recent photo of Celso Murilo. Let's see.

This is Celso Murilo, Orgao e Ritmo - Ritmos na Passarela (1961), for the tiny and legendary Pawal label. It is nice to know that he is alive and making music. This link shows Celso Murilo in the city of Caxambu, southeast of Minas Gerais state. I love that region. Getting back to business -- I'm having concentration problems today -- this is the second Celso Murilo career LP, they were all released in the same year and for the same label. It is likely that we have the same musicians who participated in the third album, Mr. Ritmo, in this session. Celso Murilo is just Joao Gilberto favorite organist. Period. You cannot miss this one to agree with Joao Gilberto. Ritmos na Passarela is delicious to here and very well played by not credited musicians. Tracks include:


01 - Poema do Adeus (Luis Antônio)
02 - Look For Star (M. Antony)
03 - Fiz o Bobão (Haroldo Barbosa / Luis Reis)
04 - Cariñito (Humberto Garin)
05 - Falsa Baiana (Geraldo Pereira)
06 - Harlem Nocturne (Hagen)
07 - Chora Tua Tristeza (Oscar Castro Neves / Luvercy Fiorini)
08 - Palhaçada (Haroldo Barbosa / Luis Reis)
09 - Chá-chá-chá na Passarela (Celso Pereira)
10 - Se Você Disser Que Sim (Luis Bandeira)
11 - Quem Manda na Minha Vida (Herivelto Martins / Raul Sampaio)
12 - Se Meu Apartamento Falasse (Charles Williams)

    Hi, Zeca! And again thanks from Russia! I think, you did a lot to promote the brazilian culture in my country! In my opinion, possible cast of musicians on "Ritmos" are: Celso Murilo (Órgão, Piano), Geraldo (Violão), Célio (Baixo), Bituca (Bateria), Rubens (Bassini,Pandeiro), Cazuza (Cuíca), Humberto (Garin,Agogô), Wayne (Tamborim) e Pedro e Gilberto (Caixeta), because this LP is the PAWAL release next to "SAMBAS NA PASSARELA" with this guys.

    Hello, Bossanov!

    That was what I had in mind when I wrote that text. Mr Ritmo, his third album, was released immediately after this one, with a very similar set of musicians, the same Pawal label also.

    By the way, three Celso Murilo LPs were released in 1961 by Pawal, an aggressive start on recordings. However, after recording for Odeon in 1964, Celso Murilo never returned to a recording session as main performer, only as a member of groups, such like Som Okey 5 for RGE in 1969.

    Thank a lot for the always useful information that you bring from Russia. Far away from Brazil, but incredible accuracy.

    Regards,

    zeca
