Jose Briamonte - Sambeco, A Musica de Briamonte (1968)

I received this record from sabadabada.com, as I said, the pionner website of Brazilian music and Bossa Nova. I'm really proud of it. Sabadabada wrote on the last update that he was hunting this LP for several years. Kindly, sabadabada gave it to Loronixers, this is all about friendship, respect and mutual passion for the music from Brazil. Thanks sabadabada, as a great fan of your website, it is a honor.

This is Jose Briamonte - Sambeco, A Musica de Briamonte (1968), for RCA Victor, a very hard to find LP, the first LP released by Jose Briamonte, prior to the well-known and acclaimed Briamonte Orquestra (1970), Elenco as ME-70, by the way a nice LP that Loronixers are missing. Pretty self-explanatory, a truly rare LP with amazing personnel that is probably unknown to several friends. Tracks include:

Kiko Continentino Plays Jobim - Homenagem aos 80 anos de Antonio Carlos Jobim

O pianista, compositor e arranjador Kiko Continentino preparou uma homenagem inusitada aos 80 anos do nosso maestro soberano Antônio Carlos Jobim.

Kiko vai tocar 80 músicas do Tom no dia 25 de Janeiro de 2007 (próxima quinta-feira), dia em que o compositor completaria 80 anos. O show será no Drink Café, primeiro quiosque do Parque dos Patins, na Lagoa Rodrigues de Freitas.

Kiko Continentino comanda um trio formado por seu irmão Alberto Continentino (contrabaixo acústico) e Renato Massa (bateria). O repertório vai de sucessos como "Águas de Março", "Luiza", "Anos Dourados" à pérolas como "Olha Maria", "Matita Perê" e "Sabiá". O show terá quatro sets para comportar tantas canções e Kiko ainda contará com o reforço de ilustres convidados:

Os Cariocas, formidável quarteto vocal que ganhou sob encomenda de Tom e Vinícius a canção "Ela é Carioca"; Pery Ribeiro, cantor que ostenta o feito de ter gravado pela primeira vez "Garota de Ipanema". Nelson Ângelo, grande compositor e guitarrista do Clube da Esquina. Paschoal Meirelles, baterista que em 1980 gravou o álbum duplo do Tom "Terra Brasilis". Chico Batera, percussionista da banda de Chico Buarque (em temporada no Canecão), que lançou em 2006 o CD Lume (Biscoito Fino), em trio com Luiz Alves e Kiko Continentino. Nesse disco, o trio gravou "Quebra Pedra" e "Mojave", canções de "lado B" dos discos do maestro; Sambajazz Trio, grupo que Kiko formou com (novamente) o contrabaixista Luiz Alves (que já gravou com Tom) e o fenômeno Clauton "Neguinho" Sales, que toca bateria e trompete ao mesmo tempo. Além de outros grandes instrumentistas do Rio, como Paulinho Trompete, Erivelton Silva, Paulo Russo, Sérgio Barrozo e outros que poderão aparecer na hora e se misturar a essa grande celebração da música de Tom Jobim.

Os Saxsambistas Brasileiros - Bossa Nova Espetacular (60's)

This is a special LP featuring special musicians that is being reposted to Loronixers with the help of Caetano Rodrigues. Some records are part of the time they were recorded and released, I think that an equivalent LP such like this recorded on this decade will never have the charm, magic and impact of hearing such perfect music released 40 years ago. This is the magic to see everybody pleased by a forgotten record made more than 40 years ago.

This is Os Saxsambistas Brasileiros - Bossa Nova Espetacular (60's), for Plaza, arranged by Jose Pacheco Lins and Henrique Gandelman, which is the father of the Brazilian sax player Leo Gandelman. Bossa Nova Espetacular is a top-notch instrumental LP with a repertoire based on Bossa Nova standards and songs composed by Henrique Gandelman. The personnel brings together several names that we are already used to appreciate on later posts, such as: Juarez Araujo, Moacyr Silva, Neco, Wilson das Neves, among others, the full listing is available bellow. Tracks include:

Johnny Alf - Diagonal (1964)

Hello, Good Night! It has been a long time since the last Johnny Alf LP was made available to Loronixers. Johnny Alf has a great importance to the beginning of Bossa Nova, influencing several renowned artists with his unique piano playing style. Our new friend G Picanco, wrote today some nice stories about him on comments making zecalouro remembers Johnny Alf, so underrated by the establishment and even by the fans of Bossa Nova. Thanks G Picanco for taking Johnny Alf back to the agenda.

This is Johnny Alf - Diagonal (1964), for RCA, the second Johnny Alf LP. I have to admit that I never had the chance to hear Diagonal and now I'm embarrassed, it is a Bossa Nova classic that any serious fan cannot leave behind. Personnel listing is also breathtaking. Tracks include:

Maria Creuza, Toquinho e Vinicius de Moraes - Eu Sei que Vou te Amar (1972)

This post has a story behind it. I bought this record a couple of weeks ago on a very expensive price, a big amount of money, R$ 1.00 (Um Real), which is equivalent to US$ 0.47039. I'm now very happy to have it with me. When I arrived home with the LP, I opened my inbox and there was an email from Arara Azul with the same LP as a contribution. Really great coincidence. So I decided to wait some weeks until release it and it is naturally that credits for this post are to Arara Azul.

This is Maria Creuza, Toquinho e Vinicius de Moraes - Eu Sei que Vou te Amar (1972), for RGE. The records made together by these three artists are very popular and Loronixers uses to like them very much. This one has something special for me, Maria Creuza looks very beautiful on this cover, by the way, she seems to have a different look on each one of her records, I think there were several Maria Creuzas releasing LPs in Brazil. Anyway, this is the one that I like most and I hope Loronixers agree with me. Thanks Arara Azul for another nice contribution. Tracks include:

01 - Catendê (Antônio Carlos Marques / Jocafi / I. Tavares) with Toquinho e Vinicius
02 - Se Todos Fossem Iguais a Você (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes) with Toquinho e Vinicius
03 - A Felicidade (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes) with Toquinho e Vinicius
04 - Que Maravilha (Toquinho / Jorge Ben) with Toquinho e Vinicius
05 - Por Causa de Você (Tom Jobim / Dolores Duran)
06 - Saudade da Bahia (Dorival Caymmi)
07 - Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes) with Vinicius de Moraes
08 - Minha Namorada (Carlos Lyra / Vinicius de Moraes) with Vinicius de Moraes
09 - Samba Em Prelúdio (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes) with Toquinho e Vinicius
10 - Estrada do Sol (Tom Jobim / Dolores Duran)
11 - Chega de Saudade (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
12 - Irene (Caetano Veloso) with Toquinho e Vinicius



I think this amazing video fits very nice to this post closing. Have a nice week!

Mike Falcao e Sua Orquestra de Danca - Jato ao Redor do Mundo (60's) also known as Walter Wanderley

Many friends have been asking for this LP to close the Mike Falcao "trilogy". Do not start searching for Mike Falcao, just listen, Mike Falcao was a nickname used by Walter Wanderley to make a series of three LPs from the record label Imperial, probably, Walter Wanderley was under contract and had to create this alias do cheat the record company which he had contractual obligation.

I'm wondering if by the time of these records release, the "real" Mike Falcao was a secret or everybody knew that Mike was Walter Wanderley. The other two Mike Falcao LPs are already available at Loronix, this is the last one and the one that I like most. This is Mike Falcao e Sua Orquestra de Danca - Jato ao Redor do Mundo (no date), for Imperial, another of those records that makes reference to airplanes, aviation, etc. Here, Walter Wanderley dedicates some songs to a world city, with something unique, he is playing piano on some tracks, instead of his Hammond organ. The rain has stopped now and it is dinnertime, I will be right back with two great releases. Stay tuned! Tracks include:

01 - Samba da Minha Terra (Dorival Caymmi)
02 - Matilda Matilda (H. Thomas)
03 - Siboney (Ernesto Lecuona)
04 - Ay Cosita Linda (Pacho Galan)
05 - Olhos Negros (Tradicional)
06 - Regalo de Viaje (Agustin Lara)
07 - Nunca aos Domingos (Never On Sunday) (M. Hadjidakis / Larue)
08 - Manhattan (R. Rodgers / L. Hart)
09 - Autumn In New York (V. Duke)
10 - April In Paris (V. Duke / E. Y. Harburg)
11 - Lisboa Antiga (Raul Portela / J. Galhardo / A. do Vale)
12 - Cidade de São Sebastião (Wilson Batista / Antônio Nássara)

Horacio Malvicino - Brazilian Touch (70's)

Hello, Good Night! It seems that Hugo y Osvaldo LP has started a quest for Bossa Nova LPs from outside Brazil. Following Hugo y Osvaldo, we had yesterday Sexteto Electronico Moderno, from the same Uruguay, sent by Refer. Today we have the response from our friends in Argentina, by the way, what a great response and great contributor. This LP was sent by ROCKOLA, which is the owner of Recuerdos Musicales at http://rockolafree.com.ar alive before Loronix. If you are interested on Argentinean music from the 50's to 60's, Recuerdos Musicales is the place.

This is Horacio Malvicino - Brazilian Touch (70's), for Microfon, a nice guitar instrumental Bossa Nova album, by Horacio Malvicino, as far as I could search and according with ROCKOLA messages, a renowned Argentinean Jazz guitar player. Horacio Malvicino played for more then 40 years with the legendary Tango accordionist Astor Piazzolla. That's it, I'm having fun with these posts, and they were not planned and are being accomplished only by Loronixers contributions. Tracks include:

01 - So Danco Samba
02 - Saudade da Bahia
03 - Sal y Pimenta
04 - Tristeza
05 - Corcovado
06 - In the Mood
07 - O Pato
08 - Rosa Morena
09 - Divagando
10 - Samba de uma Nota So
11 - Stella by Starlight
12 - Samba da Minha Terra

Geraldo Vandre - Geraldo Vandre (1964)

Here comes Caetano Rodrigues again with one of his impossible to find LPs. This one was completely unknow for me and probably by many Bossa Nova collectors at Loronix. Geraldo Vandre is well known for his political actives in the late 60's when Brazil was under a dictatorship regime. Vandre criticized the establishment on that time when he was exiled by Brazilian dictatorship. Returning from the exile, surprisingly, Geraldo Vandre decided to leave his career as an artist.

Geraldo Vandre music is based on political lyrics, which makes this LP unique, Geraldo Vandre performs as a Bossa Nova artist on this record with minor and cosmetic political themes on some tunes. This is Geraldo Vandre - Geraldo Vandre (1964), for Audio Fidelity. Thanks Caetano for another nice pick. Let's make it straightforward today, it is Saturday night. Stay with personnel, track list and Geraldo Vandre, with participation of Ana Lucia on track 06 - Samba em Preludio. Tracks include:
