Jamelao - Aqui Mora o Ritmo (1962) arrang. by Nelsinho, Astor and Guio de Morais

Hello, Good Evening! I want to start this Monday with a Samba LP supposed to be released last Saturday. It is really worthy to make it today, it is an incredible album and everybody should give it a try. I also urge Loronixers to start using our new post rating system, which is available at the end of each post as a sequence of five little stars. You will not be directed to another page, just click the stars and your evaluation will be recorded.

This is Jamelao - Aqui Mora o Ritmo (1962) arrangements by Maestro Nelsinho, Astor Silva and Guio de Morais, for Continental, this is the second release by Jamelao, the legendary Samba interpreter of Mangueira Samba School, Rio de Janeiro. Jamelao has a very long career, starting in the late 40's lasting until today. Aqui Mora o Ritmo repertoire is based on songs pretty unknown to Loronixers and the arrangements delivered by the might trio of maestros really makes the difference. Tracks include:

01 - O Tango do Fim (Osório Lima / José Bispo ''Jamelão'')
02 - Fofoca no Morro (Osvaldo Vitalino / Ferreira dos Santos)
03 - Flores Estrelas e Mulheres (Antônio Bruno)
04 - Triste Recordação (Alcebíades Nogueira / José Bispo ''Jamelão'')
05 - Acaba Como Eu (Armando Nunes / Jorge Medeiros)
06 - Quem Sou Eu (Guio de Morais)
07 - Tanto Ciúme (José Bispo ''Jamelão'' / Aledio Américo dos Santos)
08 - Como Vai Você (José Bispo ''Jamelão'' / Erasmo Silva)
09 - Nossa Quimera (Lucas Vieira / Domicio Augusto)
10 - Vá Conhecer Niterói (Hélio Nascimento / Aledio Américo dos Santos)
11 - Chega de Amor (Del Loro / Ferreira dos Santos)
12 - Um Minuto de Silêncio (Osvaldo Vitalino / Ferreira dos Santos)

I would like to recommend a website to Loronixers in the mood for Samba and Brazilian sounds of the 70's in general, J Thyme...kind, owned and maintained by Justin Thyme, friend of Loronix since the very beginning. Justin lives in the US and has a real passion for the music from Brazil. Take a special attention to Justin compilations; they are available on posts with this bunch of covers picture above. Justin recommends one of them, St. Julian Samba Showdown, here, ideal for those who want to get along with Brazilian music from the 70's at a glance. Congrats for your wonderful investigation job, Justin.

Marcos Valle - Braziliance | A Musica de Marcos Valle (1967)

This is another of those that I cannot explain why it was not shown to Loronixers earlier. Perhaps the reason is the popularity; I think it is the better-known Marcos Valle album outside of Brazil, anyway, better late than never. I'm making two different covers this time, the Brazilian Odeon issue and the US version issued by Warner Brothers. I could not decide which one to pick. I hope that Marcos Valle brings a great start of another week to everybody.

This is Marcos Valle - Braziliance | A Musica de Marcos Valle (1967), for Odeon. First of all, Marcos Valle does not sings on Braziliance, which is a 12 track instrumental LP, all compositions are by Marcos Valle and arrangements are in charge of Eumir Deodato. I think this is one of those few self-explanatory releases that you should not miss. Tracks include:

01 - Os Grilos (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
02 - Preciso Aprender a Ser Só (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
03 - Batucada Surgiu (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
04 - Seu Encanto (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle / Pingarilho)
05 - Samba de Verão (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
06 - Vamos Pranchar (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
07 - Tanto Andei (Marcos Valle)
08 - Dorme Profundo (Marcos Valle / Pingarilho)
09 - Deus Brasileiro (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
10 - Patricinha (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
11 - Passa Por Mim (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
12 - Se Você Soubesse (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)

Luiz Claudio - Intimidade (1968)

Here we go on an album that is filed since the very first beginning waiting for a chance to be presented to Loronixers. During all this time, it was sent as a contribution from Mr. X and now the legendary bossanovadreamer - by the way, a very big fan of this artist - sent it again to our appreciation. That's why I cannot keep waiting longer, since bossanovadreamer dedicates this album with great enthusiasm to zecalouro, Caetano Rodrigues and worldwide community of Loronixers.

This is Luiz Claudio - Intimidade (1968), for Odeon. If you get the chance to listen to a earlier Luiz Claudio release - Luiz Claudio - Entre Nos (1966), for Musidisc - which is a post that makes me feel very proud with the comment wrote by Ed Motta, do not hesitate to give a chance to Intimidade, directed by Maestro Lyrio Panicalli and arranged by Antonio Adolfo, with two exceptions, as indicated on track list. Quinteto Villa-Lobos is special guest on tracks 01 = No Brilho da Faca and 12 - Asa Branca. Tracks include:

01 - No Brilho da Faca (Wagner Tiso / Paulo Sergio Valle)
02 - Pilão (Luis Cláudio de Castro) (PM)
03 - Alegria de Carnaval (Antônio Adolfo / Tibério Gaspar)
04 - Sá Marina (Antônio Adolfo / Tibério Gaspar)
05 - Aperto de Mão (Horondino Silva "Dino" / Jaime Florence "Meira" / Augusto Mesquita)
06 - Viola Enluarada (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
07 - Maria (Francis Hime / Vinicius de Moraes) (FH)
08 - Atire a Primeira Pedra (Ataulfo Alves / Mário Lago)
09 - Retrato Em Branco e Preto (Tom Jobim / Chico Buarque)
10 - Meu Lugar (Luis Fernando Werneck / Danilo Caymmi / Fernando Brant)
11 - Rosa Maria (Eden Silva / Aníbal Silva)

Antonio Carlos e Jocafi - Definitivamente (1974)

I have a loyal assistance that comes daily to my place and helps a lot on housekeeping matters. After some "handling" issues, now she understand that make a pile of vinyl to pick objects out of her reach and putting LPs out of the house for a sun bath are not a good idea.

Then she started to get interest on things and making answers. She found this one a couple of days ago and got very interesting on hearing the boys. That's what I did with zeca some days later and it was enough to consider it to Loronix. When I mention with Caetano today my desire to make this one happen, he said it is a really hard to find on vinyl and some other things I will summarize bellow.

This is Antonio Carlos e Jocafi - Definitivamente (1974), for RCA Victor, the forth Antonio Carlos e Jocafi Career LP, an extremely popular duo from the early 70's in Brazil. After the great start with the celebrated - and already available at Loronix - Mudei de Ideia, Definitivamente is notably a turning point in their discography, where Antonio Carlos e Jocafi takes a pop approach with sweet ballads. However, Definitivamente cannot be considered a minor release, the music is great, they put some folk and regional influences blending very well with their style. Maria Creuza - Antonio Carlos wife by that time - puts her voice in one track. Take also a special attention to Toro de Lagrimas, a big hit in Brazil. Tracks include:

Personnel

Helio Belmiro, Leonardo Bruno (05)
(violao, guitar)
Paulinho
(drums)
Luizao
(bass)
Neco
(cavaquinho)
Hermes, Everaldo, Gilberto D'Avila
(percussion)
Nenem
(cuica)
Rildo Hora
(harmonica)
Gilson Peranzzetta, Jose Roberto Bertrami
(piano, keyboards)

Track List

01 - Dona Flor e Seus Dois Maridos (Antônio Carlos / Jocafi)
02 - Alarme Falso (Antônio Carlos / Jocafi)
03 - Chuculatêra (Antônio Carlos / Jocafi)
04 - Sexto Sentido (Antônio Carlos / Jocafi)
05 - O Poeta e o Cobertor (Antônio Carlos / Jocafi)

Baden Powell - O Grande Show | Gravado Ao Vivo (1979)

Sometimes I have to write at Loronix with a great level of uncertain and the only way to keep it running is to make assumptions, sometimes work, sometimes doesn't. Take this album as an example; I never heard about it before taking at that last anonymous contribution, never was released on CD, no auction sites availability and my searches were not of help. Anyway, perhaps a pretty unknown Baden Powell LP to thrill people, or perhaps this album is available on every Baden Powell fan shelf around the world. I hope I can amaze Loronixers with this really interesting double LP.

This is Baden Powell - O Grande Show | Gravado Ao Vivo (1979), for WEA. I really prefer to identify this album as "O Grande Encontro", but the folks of Brazil-on-Guitar and Jornal Musical takes it as O Grande Encontro. This is the first double LP released at Loronix and also the first Double LP on Baden Powell discography, it is a live show recorded in Sao Paulo, Brazil at Teatro Procopio Ferreira, most of the tracks have lyrics sung by Baden Powell with that sweet and beautiful voice of his late years. Baden makes a nice rendition of Samba da Bencao, dedicating "Saravas" to everybody he could remember. The last and longer track brings a breathtaking version of Berimbau. You should not miss it, very near mint vinyl ripping. Tracks include:

Personnel

Baden Powell
(guitar, vocal)
Saulo Bezerra de Melo
(bass)
Lilian Carmona
(drums)
Don Bira and Jorginho Cebion
(percussion)

Sexteto Prestige - Musica e Festa (1958)

Hello, Good Evening! It has been a tradition the release of Samba as the first post of every Saturday; unfortunately, with this big holiday weekend we are having in Brazil, I thought today was Friday. However, there is no reason for being disappointed with zecalouro, he brings something very great, the debut LP of a record label - Prestige - and also the debut LP of a new group to Loronixers - Sexteto Prestige. Let's see what it is.

This is Sexteto Prestige - Musica e Festa (1958), for Prestige. According with liner notes - available with the music - Sexteto Prestige was assembled by the own record company for releasing their first album and renowned musicians were selected. Unfortunately, Prestige did not credit the musicians and my searches did not result on a single musician name. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have two assumptions, Waldir Calmon at piano/organ and Moacyr Silva at sax tenor. There is also an accordion played very much like... Anyway, I will give you the chance to realize who is behind Sexteto Prestige, which is a nice surprise, pretty old pre-Bossa Nova group with great arrangements on 4 tracks with a medley of 4 songs on each. That's it, nice replacement for the Saturday Samba LP. Tracks include:

01 - Le Gondolier (De Angelis / Marcucci) Cuando Tu Me Quieras (R. S. Moreno / Mário Barrios) Sonhando Contigo (Anísio Silva / Fausto Guimarães) Mi Oracion (J. Kennedy / G. Boulanger)
02 - Eu Quero Um Samba (Haroldo Barbosa / J. de Almeida) Faceira (Ary Barroso) Sonho e Fantasia (João Leal Brito ''Britinho'') Sal e Pimenta (Newton Ramalho / Nazareno de Brito)
03 - A Saudade Mata a Gente (Antônio Almeida / J. de Barro) Cabecinha no Ombro (Paulo Borges) A Grande Verdade (Luis encourt / Marlene) Mocinho Bonito (Billy Blanco)
04 - Interesseira (Mário Latine / Bidú Reis) Apaixonada (Lourival Faissal) Por Causa de Você (Tom Jobim / Dolores Duran) Perfidia (A. Dominguez)

Johnny Alf - Desbunde Total (1978)

This is to address the request made by GoodGroove a couple of weeks ago, Johnny Alf, a key figure on Bossa Nova story, active since the early 50's -- as we confirm here at Loronix with the fantastic contribution of Mr. E., Mary Goncalves - Convite ao Romance (1952) -- and unfortunately highly underestimated.

This is Johnny Alf - Desbunde Total (1978), for Chantecler, late work of Johnny Alf with the help of Joao Donato at arrangements. All compositions written by Johnny Alf, most of them unknown, Johnny Alf sings and plays the piano. Desbunde Total is the last Johnny Alf LP in the 70's, he cross the whole 80's with no recording activity, being back in the 90's with Olhos Negros, gone out of print and never reissued again with Johnny Alf making duets with several guests based on a repertoire of his greatest hits. I'm tracking this one down. Tracks include:

01 - Oxum (Johnny Alf)
02 - Passe Livre (Armando Cavalcanti / Victor Freire)
03 - Sidarta (Johnny Alf)
04 - Orgulho de Bom Sambista (Johnny Alf)
05 - Que Volte a Tristeza (Johnny Alf)
06 - Eu Pretendo Não Chorar (Johnny Alf)
07 - Desbunde Total (Johnny Alf)
08 - Com Voz de Plenitude (Johnny Alf / Édison Penha)
09 - Anunciação (Johnny Alf)
10 - Para Não Falar de Amor (Paulo Miranda / Buião)
11 - Paz de Um Grande Amor (Johnny Alf)
12 - Olhaí (Johnny Alf)
