Marina - Simples como Fogo (1979)

Hello, good evening! Since Loronix started, I got the habit of listening to at least one LP daily. Sometimes I use to hear albums that I would never consider a candidate of being posted at Loronix. I got also the habit of making the transfer to digital, no matter for Loronix or for my personal collection.

My musical preferences are diversified. I like to hear rock and also love to take albums that bring me very good memory of the past. This is Marina debut LP, an artist never released before at Loronix and a singer that I like very much. It is also an album that brings back very good memories. I want to share these memories with this album that is really different from the music we use to hear at Loronix. Let’s see.

This is Marina – Simples como Fogo (1979), for WEA, the debut LP of Marina, a Brazilian singer, composer and musician with more than 20 albums released in Brazil and several successful tunes composed with Marina most regular partner, her brother and philosopher Antonio Cicero. Simples como Fogo starts with a track that worth the whole album, Marina rendition to Solidao by Dolores Duran, performed here as probably you never heard before. I’m really glad to share this album, but Simples como Fogo brings bad news, the white stripes at front and back cover. Perhaps my scanner has finally getting tired after thousand of cover scans. I hope you appreciate this album as I did today. Tracks include:

Eumir Deodato & Lindolpho Gaya - Love, Strings and Jobim | The Eloquence of Antonio Carlos Jobim (1966)

Hello, good morning! I will be out of home tonight, that’s why I’m making this extraordinary post this morning. By the way, a extraordinary post of a unusual album recorded in 1966 by Elenco with the original title as “Antonio Carlos Jobim Apresenta” and reissued in 1975 as “Love, Strings and Jobim | The Eloquence of Antonio Carlos Jobim”, a lust and cheat title with Antonio Carlos Jobim holding his violao at the beach. I said cheat title? Sure! Let’s know why!

This is Eumir Deodato & Lindolpho Gaya - Love, Strings and Jobim | The Eloquence of Antonio Carlos Jobim (1966), for Elenco, featuring a constellation of Brazilian musicians with a single and important exception, which is Antonio Carlos Jobim that did not take part of this recording session. I’ve been wondering how many friends took this album as Antonio Carlos Jobim career record across four decades. Aloysio de Oliveira and Ray Gilbert’s idea was to introduce new artists to the American audience through Antonio Carlos Jobim popularity in US. Maestro Lindolpho Gaya and Eumir Deodato were invited to write the arrangements and to be credited as main performers, which is something that never happened. I’m crediting both as main performers at this post; at least Loronix makes it as originally conceived.


Additionally, the back cover features pictures of the composers, not the musicians. Tracks include:

Marisa - Viagem (1973)

Hello, good evening! This is the mandatory and obligatory repost of the first Marisa Gata Mansa LP that I have the chance to make available at Loronix. And it has been a LOT of time; Viagem was released in 06 August 2006, three years and a few days ago. Everything changed since them, the music was available at 128Kbps on a zip file with a size of 32Mb. Now we are making it on 320Kbps on a zip file with 93Mb and additional FLAC file of 190Mb. By the way, as every new album, Viagem is also available with no Rapidshare at Loronix Happy Hour; you should not miss Happy Hour and also Marisa Gata Mansa. Let’s see.

This is Marisa – Viagem (1973), for Odeon, now featuring high res cover scans from the back and front cover, including lyrics and personnel listing, something missing at the first issue. Marisa started her career in 1954 as a jazz interpreter, releasing her first solo LP in 1959. In 1956, Marisa met Dolores Duran replacing her as a singer in Bacará, a famous nightclub in Rio de Janeiro.

Dick Farney - JAM | Jazz After Midnight (1956)

Hello, good evening! It is nice to show an album recorded by Dick Farney after a long time. Loronix last Dick Farney release was made on the very beginning of February. This album is really hard to find in its first 1956 issue. This is probably the first Dick Farney album in the 12-inch format, but I’m sure this is the first 12-inch made by Columbia in Brazil. Recorded live at Teatro da Cultura Artistica, Sao Paulo, 11 July, 1956, exactly nineteen years before the passing of George Gershwin. Let’s see.

This is Dick Farney – JAM | Jazz After Midnight (1956), for Columbia, featuring instrumental renditions of George Gershwin music, performed by Dick Farney and top-notch Brazilian Jazz musicians, including the legendary sax player Case, Rubens Barsotti (from Zimbo Trio) and Chou Viana. This is really a JAM session, with no rehearsal by the musicians. Tracks include:

Orlando Silva - O Eterno Seresteiro (1969)

Here we go on the last contribution made by my mother a couple of weeks ago, which is an album that I did not know the existence, featuring two important musicians, Orlando Silva, considered by many people (including Joao Gilberto) one of the greatest Brazilian singers of all time and Jacob do Bandolim, the master of bandolim playing, a well-known artist at Loronix. Let’s see.

This is Orlando Silva – O Eterno Seresteiro (1969), for RCA, featuring Orlando Silva backed by Jacob do Bandolim with Conjunto Epoca de Ouro. Little I know about this album, recorded in the same year Jacob do Bandolim has passed, if not the last, it is one of the latest albums recorded by Jacob. Conjunto Epoca de Ouro musicians and arrangers are not credited, but Rildo Hora is credited as artistic coordination and probably has some influence on arrangements. Tracks include.

01 - Serenata do Adeus (Vinicius de Moraes)
02 - Modinha (Jaime Ovalle / Manuel Bandeira)
03 - Falsa Felicidade (Paulo Medeiros)
04 - Misterioso Amor (Saint-Clair Sena)

Waltel Branco - Musicas do Seculo XVI ao Seculo XX (1974)

Hello, good evening! It is really nice to be back to Loronix after 2 days of rest, which in fact were taken by lots of very hard and productive work. Miltinho and Doris Monteiro were during this time and I believe it was a great choice. Anyway, the show must go on, and I would like to start with another flawless release sponsored by Jorge Mello, featuring an artist appreciated by our community as a whole. Let’s see.

This is Waltel Branco – Musicas do Seculo XVI ao Seculo XX (1974), for Itamaraty. Actually, this album was first released in 1974 by another label, the tiny Magic Music, and Jorge Mello presents a later Itamaraty reissue, whose date I could not track on my searches. The album is exactly what its title suggests; Waltel Branco delivers violao renditions of music written across the XVI and XX centuries, including his own compositions, such like track 09 – Preludio Sarabanda e Bourree (Waltel Branco), which is also my choice to Loronix Preview Center. Tracks include:

01 - Cancoes do Seculo XVI (Tradicional)
02 - Ballet (Gluck)
03 - Romanza (Schumann)
04 - Valsa Nr 15 (Brahms)
05 - Ballet (Weiss)
06 - Preludio Nr 20 (Frederic Chopin)
07 - Estudos 1 e 6 (Sor)
08 - Sarabanda (Poulenc)
09 - Preludio Sarabanda e Bourree (Waltel Branco)
10 - Preludio Nr 2 (Villa-Lobos)
11 - Andante (Staak)
12 - Moda de Viola (Waltel Branco)

Doris Monteiro e Miltinho - Doris, Miltinho e Charme Vol. 3 (1972)

Hello, good evening! The albums recorded by Doris Monteiro and Miltinho are among the most requested by our community. They are part of a series called Doris, Miltinho e Charme, with the first being released in 1970, until the last and fourth in 1973. I believe these albums are difficult to find, since it is the first from the series I’m proud to have. I never heard about a single album from this series being released on CD, these albums are really challenging, even if you not a regular Samba listener. Let’s see.

This is Doris Monteiro e Miltinho – Doris, Miltinho e Charme, Vol. 3 (1972), for Odeon, featuring arrangements by Maestro Nelsinho, which is always a guarantee of nice trombone playing and arrangements on top of Samba. I think this third volume is the better than the other two we have already at Loronix, it is better produced, recorded with this truly amazing cover artwork. Maestro Lindolpho Gaya is in charge of music direction, such as many Odeon releases from the early 70’s. Tracks include eighteen songs organized at seven medleys. Tracks include:

01 - Rio-samba (Cezão / Pedro Rainho) Minha Escola (Jair Amorim / Evaldo Gouveia) Sinfonia do Carnaval (Helena de Lima / Concessa Lacerda) Poeira (Telemar / Cléo)
02 - Mas Que Doidice (Antônio Carlos Marques / Jocafi) Até Eu (Baden Powell / Paulo César Pinheiro)
03 - O Amor e a Rosa (Pernambuco / Antônio Maria) Guardei a Rosa (Pernambuco)
04 - Testamento (Toquinho / Vinicius de Moraes) A Vida dos Outros (Antônio Valentim) Dizem Por Aí (Manoel da Conceição / Alberto Paz) Cuidado Com o Andor (Mário Lago / Marino Pinto) Poeira (Telemar / Cléo)
05 - Diz Que Sim (Luis Antônio) Com o Amor Não Se Brinca (Carlito / Romeo Nunes)
06 - Doce Lembrança (Carlito / Waldemar Gomes) Deixa (Vinicius de Moraes / Baden Powell)
07 - Aquele Seu Adeus (Aloísio Marins / José Augusto)
