Joni James - Bossa Nova Style (1965)

Here we go again with another release sponsored by Caetano Rodrigues, The Great. Caetano presents this time a female singer and I'm very confident that this post will be a treat for many Loronixers. It was a surprise to see the tremendous feedback given to Pat Thomas and I hope that Joni James hits the same honors gave by Loronixers to Pat Thomas. Let's check another Caetano's gem.

This is Joni James - Bossa Nova Style (1965), for MGM. Hearing Joni James, I sure that you will remember the anthological Julie is her Name, by Julie London. Joni James seems to be from the same school and her interpretation of Bossa Nova is really different. I like Joni James singing and this is a very pleasant LP. Thanks for this one Caetano. Tracks include:

01 - Dindi
02 - I Could Have Danced All Night
03 - September Song
04 - My Foolish Heart
05 - I Wish You Love
06 - While We're Young
07 - I Understand
08 - The Girl from Ipanema
09 - Guilty
10 - Once I Loved
11 - My Romance
12 - You're Nearer

D'Angelo - D'Angelo (1970)

Hello, Good Night! Picture yourself at home with no access to the Internet during 18 hours with your life out there, banking account, emails, customers, etc. I'm making the move to a new service and I hope nobody will be stopping me with this change. Anyway, I'm back again to business and I want to entertain Loronixers before answering tons of emails and others things to do. I will let you with an album from a obscure band from the early 70's that make a great success when their first LP was shown to Loronixers.

This is D'Angelo - D'Angelo (1970), for Equipe. Nobody could tell me details about this group, but they make a great success, especially among European DJs. If you are in the mood of the groovy sounds of the 70's and the Samba Soul scene, which is represented by artists such like Tim Maia, Os Diagonais, Cassiano and others, this is the album that you cannot skip. The repertoire has several well-known tunes, performed by female chorus, probably the ladys at the cover. Tracks include:

01 - Coroné Antônio Bento (Luis Wanderley / João do Vale)
02 - Padre Cícero (Tim Maia / Cassiano)
03 - Curto de Véu e Grinalda (Moraes Moreira / Galvão)
04 - BR 3 (Antônio Adolfo / Tibério Gaspar)
05 - Agora (Ivan Lins / Ronaldo Monteiro de Souza)
06 - Eu Também Quero Mocotó (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
07 - Cristina (Carlos Imperial / Tim Maia)
08 - Primavera (Cassiano / Silvio Rochael)
09 - Procurando Tú (Antônio Barros / J. Luna)
10 - Azul da Cor do Mar (Tim Maia)

Joao Gilberto - Amoroso (1977)

Joao Gilberto. How long we did not see this legendary artist at Loronix? I don't know and I do not want to know, just because Joao Gilberto is back to Loronix, on a very unique way, selected by Caetano Rodrigues with surgeon gloves. Actually, since Caetano and zecalouro have decided to make a Joao Gilberto album, there was some dispute to decide the right pick to Loronixers. My choice was another LP. However, when Caetano said this is the one with the extraordinary Joao Gilberto rendition for Estate, it was automatically decided, discussion over, this is one of the songs that I like most from Joao Discography and I'm sure you will also enjoy it, including the video bellow.

This is Joao Gilberto - Amoroso (1977), for WEA, 39 minutes of perfection, divided in 8 tracks. Joao Gilberto music is to be listened with speakerphones, alone and with the lights out. There is nothing like his voice, perfect voice, such like an instrument, flawless and gorgeous. Amoroso is arranged by Claus Ogerman and was a serious candidate to win a Grammy Award of the best album in a late 70's edition. Caetano asked zecalouro to research for more details on it. Sorry friend, I'm hearing the master right now and I'm paralyzed. I can only move my fingers. Loronixers can make that this time. Tracks include:

01 - 's Wonderful (George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin)
02 - Estate (Bruno Martino / Bruno Brighetti)
03 - Tim Tim Por Tim Tim (Haroldo Barbosa / Geraldo Jacques)
04 - Besame Mucho (Consuelo Velasquez)
05 - Wave (Tom Jobim)
06 - Caminho Cruzados (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
07 - Triste (Tom Jobim)
08 - Zingaro (Tom Jobim / Chico Buarque)

Djalma Ferreira e os Milionarios do Ritmo - Drink no Rio de Janeiro (1959)

Hello, Good Night! Thanks a million for the feedback given to Recordando Carlinhos Guinle, a great release sponsored by Caetano, our pick as yesterday's closing post. Some additional info, Sylvinha Telles track Voce Nao Sabe Amar was record only for this session and something that I had to highlight and forgot is the participation of the socialite Tereza de Souza Campos, responsible for neck pains on folks when she passed by Copacabana sidewalks at that time.

Let's start this Monday with the first contribution of our friend Moos from The Netherlands. Moos was in Rio de Janeiro to spend Carnaval and I had a chance to get along with Moos on a day. Moos is a great guy with an immense love to the music from Brazil. He gave to zecalouro a gift, which is something that I was looking for, a pen drive, 1Gb capacity, with several records from his personal collection inside. This is the first Moos pick, taken from the pen drive. Thanks Moos.

This is Djalma Ferreira e os Milionarios do Ritmo - Drink no Rio de Janeiro (1959), for Discos Drink, the kind of record that should please everybody, featuring several artists that got renowned in the 60's. Drink was a nightclub in Rio de Janeiro and also a record label. Those who never had the chance to see a Drink LP are missing a design work. Drink LPs are beautiful, with several pictures inside and a cover that opens such like a panel. When I get one, I will make some complete photos to share with Loronixers. Drink no Rio de Janeiro crooner is Miltinho. See personnel listing for others. Tracks include:

Varios Artistas - Recordando Carlinhos Guinle (1963)

This is not a regular post; this is a very special post. I was saving this LP for a later time and something on may mind says that this is the special day. This is another album provided by Caetano Rodrigues to our community. I did not have the idea of its existence and since this LP arrived at Loronix I've been searching for additional info.

I'm confident to say that this is a extremely rare LP. We are having at Loronix a once in a lifetime opportunity to get in touch with all this magical music by the hands of Caetano Rodrigues, hands of a friend that spend a great amount of his personal time and family life to select music, prepare copies, take cover scan copies on a labor of passion for the music from Brazil and for our community. Thanks Caetano for all the music, friendship and respect you have by our website and all the friends that I use to call Loronixers.

It has been a time since I was willing to make this statement; Caetano is providing music, knowledge and happiness to everybody, it is time to say thanks to a great friend of Loronix.

This is Recordando Carlinhos Guinle - Various Artists (1963), for Philips, featuring Tereza de Souza Campos, Jacques Klein, Sylvia Telles, Tamba Trio, Dorival Caymmi, Hugo Lima and Luli Oswald. Excelent. My research could not go further, but I think some of the tracks performed by Sylvia Telles, Dorival Caymmi and Tamba Trio were only released on this LP.

This record is a tribute to Carlos Guinle, member of an influent family in Brazil, founder of the legendary Copacabana Palace Hotel. Carlinhos Guinle has died very early at the age of 37 in 1956. Since then, Carlinhos Guinle compositions has been recorded by many renowned artists, although he always considers himself an amateur composer, he is the author of Sabado em Copacabana (Carlos Guinle / Dorival Caymmi), considered by many an early Bossa Nova tune. Tracks Include:

01 - Não Tem Solução (Dorival Caymmi / Carlinhos Guinle) - Tereza de Souza Campos
02 - Choro (Carlos Guinle / Hugo Lima) - Tamba Trio
03 - Valerá a Pena (Dorival Caymmi / Carlos Guinle / Hugo Lima) - Jacques Klein
04 - Sábado Em Copacabana (Carlos Guinle / Dorival Caymmi) - Silvinha Telles
05 - Nesta Rua Tão Deserta (Carlos Guinle / Hugo Lima / Jacques Klein) - Dorival Caymmi / Hugo Lima
06 - Sambão (Carlos Guinle / Jacques Klein) - Tamba Trio
07 - Tão Só (Dorival Caymmi / Carlos Guinle) - Tereza de Souza Campos
08 - Nesta Rua Tão Deserta (Carlos Guinle / Hugo Lima / Jacques Klein) - Jacques Klein
09 - Você Não Sabe Amar (Dorival Caymmi / Carlos Guinle / Hugo Lima) - Silvinha Telles
10 - Berceuse (Gilda Guinle) - Luli Oswald

Ely Arcoverde - O Orgao que Canta Sambas Vol. 2 (1963)

Now is easy to gather information on earlier posts using Loronix Find It! This was an example. I have this record available for posting a long time ago and I could check very fast if it was not already at Loronix using Find It! I'm still with a big Internet problem down here; I spoke about it with Caetano a couple of minutes ago. The music I was planning to make it today is still being uploaded. It is now 11pm and the upload has started at 7pm.

This is Ely Arcoverde - O Orgao que Canta Sambas Vol. 2 (1963), for RGE, a very early Ely Arcoverde LP and artist that is already known by Loronixers from a nice contribution of Caetano Rodrigues, one of the first ones from Caetano and from a very old one, made in August, 2006. Did you see how easy it is to maximize your Loronix experience with Find It! I'm also a Find It! Power user. Tracks include:

Music Video | Tamba Trio - Batida Diferente

This is the first video I had the chance to see with a performance of the mighty Tamba Trio from Luiz Eca. Using my limited Tamba Trio knowledge I could not identify the year of the performance or at least a reasonable approximation for it.

I will let with you to find out personnel and performance date. This video was kindly sent by Luiz Harding and it is the first out of a very nice series. Luiz Harding is a serious researcher of the Brazilian drummer Edison Machado, being the owner and maintainer of a website dedicated to this Brazilian legend. Have a try at Luiz tribute to Edison Machado, here (http://edisonmachado.blogspot.com).

Hope uEnjoy!

Bill Barron Orchestra - West Side Story Bossa Nova (1963)

Here we go again with another of those nice Caetano's tricks finding gold on records that would be not taken in consideration by regular humans. Now Caetano comes with the OST of an anthological movie film from the 60's that is all about Bossa Nova and Brazilian Music.

This is Bill Barron Orchestra - West Side Story Bossa Nova (1963), for Dauntless, the soundtrack of the musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet set in New York City, where rival street gangs - the Jets and the Sharks - battle for territory and respect. Bill Barron Orchestra takes the lead here, making a unique record, with a nice rhythm session making use of Brazilian percussion instruments on an unusual manner. You should check this out by your own. Tracks include:

01 - Something is Coming
02 - One Hand, One Heart
03 - Gee, Officer Krupke
04 - Cool
05 - Maria
06 - Tonight
07 - America
08 - I Feel Pretty
09 - Jet Song
10 - Somewhere

Claudya e Zimbo Trio - Entre Amigos (1994)

Hello, Good Night! It is nighttime by looking through my window to stare the sky with stars, however, I feel like in the morning. I slept very well this night taking also some naps during the day. Thanks for the great feedback given to Loronix Find It! I'm very happy to give an alternative to the Archives labyrinth.

That's right! Being straightforward, we have here the first contribution from a Loronixer that does not want to be identified, let's call him Mr. EB from now on. Mr. EB brings one of the instrumental groups we like most, supporting a great singer of the old times.

This is Claudya e Zimbo Trio - Entre Amigos (1994), for Movieplay, including 4 additional tracks only available at the CD version, which is the one sent by Mr. EB to Loronixers. It will be very nice to check a late work of Claudya, credited with the letter Y instead of U as we are used to read and Zimbo Trio. Mr. EB asks Loronixers to listen track one, Beatriz, very carefully as one of his favorite at this album. Tracks include:

01 - Beatriz (Edu Lobo / Chico Buarque)
02 - Tico-tico no Fubá (Zequinha de Abreu / Eurico Barreiros)
03 - Lamentos (Pixinguinha / Vinicius de Moraes)

16 - Kid Cavaquinho (João Bosco / Aldir Blanc)
17 - Ponteio (Edu Lobo / Capinan)

Garoto - Garoto + Sexteto (1966)

Just some additional information about the new Loronix Find It! application. I received some emails of friends addressing some issues; It was defined that posts available at Loronix first page are not available at Loronix Find It!, Other common issue are the music videos, they were not loaded at this initial phase and I think it is a good idea to have them all inside. Let's wait for the new version. Don't forget to share your feedback on Find It! we need that to improve each aspect of our community.

Back to business, sorry to Music! If you search our database for this record you will find it and we are making a repost, I guarantee that this is a mandatory repost, the first release had some corrupted tracks and this is a very hard to find record. My hope to find it on perfect condition was lost. Caetano send it to Loronixers with a uncommon CD quality. Let's see what we have.

This is Garoto - Garoto + Sexteto (1966), for Farroupilha, not to be taken as the violonist Garoto (Anibal Augusto Sardinha) from the last post Garoto Revive em Alta Fidelidade Ary Barroso (1957). This is about Altivo Penteado, Brazilian vibraphone and piano player, also known as Garoto. I think this release is self-explanatory and I invite the friends that never had the chance to hear this album and also the ones who made it already to make a try, the music is beautiful and you will not go wrong with it. Tracks include:

Personnel

Altivo Penteado "Garoto"
(vibrafone, piano)
Fernando Tancredi (sax, clarone)
Paulo Santos
(piston)
Augusto R. Rodrigues
(guitar)
Hamilton A. Lima
(bateria)
