Luiz Harding sent this video and we are starting a new kind of Challenge today, the Video Challenge. There is more to come. Question: How is the mysterious singer in this 1966 Brazilian movie?
Here we go on Caetano Rodrigues release showing this time a Brazilian music tribute album from a piano virtuoso, Dick Hyman. This is Dick Hyman tribute to Brazilian music. Hyman recorded once an album with eleven versions of the tune "A Child is Born" performing the style of eleven different pianists. Let's see how the versatile Dick Hyman performs with the music from Brazil.
Let's make it straight, this is another video powered by Luiz Harding. This time, even the master is amazed by his own creation, which is a Zumba Cinco video. Zumba Cinco is a Brazilian Bossa Jazz quintet that released a single album and than disappeared. This album is now a sought after collectors item. It is available at Loronix, you can find it using Find It!, sorry.
Hello, Good Evening! Today was clean-up time, a time to take the LPs out of the closet to take care of them and give the chance of making them breath air. Who lives in front of the beach needs to double check things that are locked. I always find nice and forgotten things when making this LP-keeping and this time I could drag more than ten to hang close to me and do not forget.
When Loronix was a two months old baby, a respectful Brazilian music journalist told me about an album that should not be left behind to our community. I took his advice and a couple of days later; this record was available to Loronixers.
Here comes Luiz Harding torturing us again with a video, torturing is the right word, once you see one you can stop waiting for the next. This one was supposed to be released on May, 12th, on Loronix anniversary, but is so cool that I could not wait. Caetano told me about this video and I had no hope to watch it. Now with Luiz, we can make it.
I was not planning to show friends another Dick Farney today. I was pretty tired and decided to take a nap one hour ago listening this album. It is beautiful. I never heard this Dick Farney, recommended by cvllos a couple of days ago. So I decided to make it, since I want to write about it with the same feelings and good vibrations I had in the last 35 minutes while listening.
Today we will have great surprises and this is the first one. It is not necessary to say that Caetano Rodrigues is the friend behind it. I'm thrilled to share this album with Loronixers. For the first time, Caetano sends us an International Bossa Nova pill and I cannot find bio or more relevant information, even browsing the giant All About Jazz and All Music Guide. I hope someone can make better than myself. The other surprise is the album itself, nice Bossa Nova standards renditions with some tunes that were certainly being used as incidental music, they sound very familiar. Let's see.
Hello, good evening! I use to start the day with a story or something that happened with zecalouro or me during the day. Today I will start different, straightforward; I want to show as fast as I can a wonderful contribution of the always-surprising Marcelo Munhoz from Sambasonics.
Maestro Moacir Santos is considered one of the main Brazilian arrangers of all times. He accomplished a revolutionary contribution since the 50's, establishing a new plateau on Brazilian popular music harmonic structures. He was also an influence to the great artists we learned to admire with Loronix, such as (only a few examples): Paulo Moura, Oscar Castro Neves, Baden Powell, Mauricio Einhorn, Geraldo Vespar, Sergio Mendes, Dori Caymmi, Airto Moreira, among others. In the other hand, Moacir Santos is very underrated, being almost unknown to Brazilian mass audience, even after his passing last year.
