Henrique Simonetti - Panorama Musical (1956)

Hello, good evening! I got amazed when I found this album for an unbelievable price last weekend. It was filed on those generic shelves of "everything for R$ 1", which is something strange. This is an important album, it is the first album recorded by one of the most influential record companies in Brazil, RGE. Let's see.

This is Henrique Simonetti - Panorama Musical (1956), for RGE, the first album released by RGE, featuring Maestro Simonetti arrangements for six Brazilian tunes. Just in case you missed, Maestro Simonetti is an Italian musician that came to Brazil in 1941 and became an influential artist until his departure back to his homeland in the mid 1960's. RGE kindly delivers personnel listing with some surprises, including Maestros Waldomiro Lemke and Silvio Tancredi on bass and piano and a surprising participation of Zito Righi at clarinet, credited as Leonardo Righi, which is his real name. Tracks include:

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)
