Clara Nunes - Guerreira (1978)

This post is to show my commitment to deliver a unforgettable Samba Saturday tomorrow. Friends like moos and many other Samba enthusiasts are getting disappointed with 3 non-Samba weekends at Loronix and there is nothing more associated with Samba than Clara Nunes. Let's see.

This is Clara Nunes - Guerreira (1978), for Odeon. We have here a late album by Clara Nunes, featuring a mature artist with total control of his interpretation and beautiful voice. The first track gives the album title and worth the entire record. I'm not knowledgeable on Clara Nunes discography, so I'm taking in consideration my listening experience and this one is so far the most pleasant Clara Nunes I have ever heard. Personnel features a constellation of Brazilian musicians with three Maestros in charge of arrangements, as highlighted on track list. Tracks include:

Varios Artistas - A Musica de Dorival Caymmi (1981)

I'm a parrot that does not take compilations so much in consideration, being eventually hooked by some exceptions, such like this one issued by Continental as a tribute to Dorival Caymmi music. I think even Dorival Caymmi would like to take this one for a spin. A Musica de Dorival Caymmi features the best of Dorival Caymmi music performed by several artists, with one single exception, 08 – E Doce Morrer no Mar, performed by Dorival Caymmi. The repertoire selection and performers makes the difference here, we have some artists will make you feel the willing of getting more by their solo works. Let's see.

This is A Musica de Dorival Caymmi (1981), for Continental, featuring various artists performing Dorival Caymmi music, such as: Os Novos Baianos, Aquarius, Osmar Milito, Titulares do Ritmo, Os 3 Morais, Ed Lincoln, among others. The variety of styles having Dorival Caymmi music in common is what makes this compilation unique. Tracks include:

The Performers

Aquarius

Os Titulares do Ritmo
Severino Araujo e Sua Orquestra Tabajara
Dorival Caymmi

Saraiva - Sobre o Ritmo das Ondas (1964)

We have been with great Brazilian sax players since Loronix beginning, such like Paulo Moura, Moacyr Silva, Zito Righi, Juarez Araujo and many others. However, some others musicians that dedicated his life to this instrument or this family of instrument did not reach our website already. This post comes to show one of these artists that never had a career album made available to our community, although active on recordings or studio sessions. I think that Saraiva is a great start to this series, I could not find much info about him, but he recorded several albums, being this one his first. Let's see.

This is Saraiva - Sobre o Ritmo das Ondas (1964), for Continental, presented here by a mid-70's Phonodisk reissue. Saraiva does not keep his playing connected with a given style, delivering Sambas, Boleros and mostly Choros. You will not find Bossa Nova standard tunes at Sobre o Ritmo das Ondas, all tracks are composed by Luiz dos Santos, which is probably the own Saraiva. I think Loronixers will receive Saraiva with enthusiasm; this is a very nice record, released in the Bossa Nova age with a repertoire of Choros, a genre that almost disappeared during the 60's. Tracks include:

01 - Bodas de Ouro (Luis dos Santos / Alfredo Celso)
02 - Corintiano (Luis dos Santos / Palmeira)
03 - Célio no Baião (Luis dos Santos / Nairson Menezes)
04 - Não Me Toque Assim (Luis dos Santos / Leonel Cruz)
05 - Mulher Fingida (Luis dos Santos / Palmeira)
06 - Galera do Nelson (Luis dos Santos / Teixeira Filho)
07 - Relembrando o Passado (Luis dos Santos / Ivanildo José da Silva)
08 - Selma (Luis dos Santos / Nelson Machado)
09 - É Disso Que Eu Gosto (Luis dos Santos / Milton José)
10 - A Natureza (Luis dos Santos / J. Luna)
11 - Morada Perdida (Luis dos Santos / Waldemar Pimentel)
12 - Foi de Lá Que Eu Vim (Luis dos Santos / Victor Settanni)

Hareton Salvanini - S.P. / 73 (1973)

I could not believe when I found this album at the R$ 1 (one Real, or US$ .50c) section of an influential vinyl store in Rio de Janeiro. Perhaps a new employee did it by mistake because the eyes of the shop owner went big as a golf ball and his humor changed when I claimed this album by this price. Some sellers at e-bay are listing this piece for more than a US$ 100.

Anyway, this is not the reason that I'm reposting this album, Hareton Salvanini - S.P. / 73 (1973) is really unique and deserves this "remastered" version with updates on cover artwork and also a new ripping, with FLAC files option. Let's see.

This is Hareton Salvanini - S.P. / 73 (1973), for Continental, featuring the arranger, composer, singer and multi instrumentalist Hareton Salvanini, a pretty unknown artist for Brazil mass audience that recorded some albums in the early 70's and then changed his career to jingle and soundtrack recording with more than 5,000 works delivered in decades. This album is still fresh after more than 30 years with Hareton Salvanini delivering orchestra, psychodelia, jazz and funk on a very well done melting pot that will make you feel like hearing Prelude by Eumir Deodato. I urge Loronixers to send feedback at comment section to help us understand a little bit more of Hareton Salvanini and his acclaimed S.P. / 73. Tracks include:

Personnel

Rosario de Caria

Varios Artistas - Matematica, Zero... Amor, Dez (1958)

This album was supposed to be one of the greatest zecalouro's mother findings ever. Let's say it still her great finding, but there is a major and unacceptable failure with this album. The vinyl played perfect on side A, however, side B is exactly the same as side A. Columbia made both sides as A by mistake. Such like the missing Joao Gilberto track, I'm now asking for Loronixers help to find the missing side B of this fantastic album. Let's see, half of it.

This is Matematica, zero... Amor, Dez... (1958), for Columbia, the OST of the Brazilian movie, featuring a constellation at t cast with acting performances of Lyrio Panicali (as Lyrio Panicali e Sua Orquestra), Tito Madi, Lana Bittencourt, Maysa Mattarazo (as Maysa), Sylvio Mazzucca (as Sylvio Mazucca e Sua Orquestra), Sergio Murilo, Carlos Machado, Luiz Claudio and others, almost all the artists we know acting. Unfortunately, only side A is available. Tracks include:

01 - Menina Moça (Luis Antônio) - Tito Madi
02 - Na Baixa do Sapateiro (Ary Barroso) - Lana Bittencourt
03 - Sax Cantabile (Armando Dominguez) - Silvio Mazzuca e Sua Orquestra
04 - Avental da Pastora (Luis Antônio / Amado Regis) - Coro Columbia
05 - Rosa Morena (Dorival Caymmi) - Trigêmeos Vocalistas
06 - Vassourinha (Mathias da Rocha / Joana Batista Ramos) - Lyrio Panicali e Sua Orquestra
07 - On The Button (Nº 5) (J. J. Donnelly / V. L. Mott) - Banda Marcial do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais
08 - O Milagre da Volta (Fernando César / A. Cavalcanti) - Lana Bittencourt (*)
09 - Apito no Samba (Luis Bandeira) - Lyrio Panicali e Sua Orquestra (*)
10 - Rock de Morte (Nadir Peres / Lyrio Panicali) - Sergio Murilo (*)
11 - The Thunderer (Nº 9) (J. P. Souza / J. J. Donnelly / V. L. Mott) - Banda Marcial do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais (*)
12 - Chora Pierrot (Luis Antônio) - Alcides Gerardi (*)
13 - Recado (Djalma Ferreira / Luis Antônio) - Luis Cláudio (*)
14 - Marcha dos Fuzileiros Navais (Na Vanguarda) (Luis Cândido da Silveira) - Banda do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais (*)

Arthur Moreira Lima - Arthur Moreira Lima plays Tangos & Waltzes of Ernesto Nazareth (1982)

Hello, good evening! A friend that left his nick with a nice comment sent this album. However, he did not leave and email and I don't know if he wants to be identified with the alias he uses. He sent a really nice contribution, the third on the new FLAC format, featuring a very important artist that never had a chance to be introduced to our community, the Brazilian pianist Arthur Moreira Lima. Let's see.

This is Arthur Moreira Lima - Arthur Moreira Lima Plays Tangos & Waltzes of Ernesto Nazareth (1982), for Intersound, recorded September 13-15, 1982, at the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters on the Steinway CD 372 piano. Thanks to the now revealed AdHoc for this info. Arthur Moreira Lima is worldwide acclaimed as one of the best Frederic Chopin interpreters, being also a successful popular music artist. It is hard to write this in English, Arthur Moreira Lima is the kind of guy that everybody would like to meet in the end of the day at Copacanana to drink some beers, a very cool character and also one of the most renowned tricolores (friends who support Fluminense Football Club, a soccer team in Rio de Janeiro).

His works in the field of popular music includes his association with Paulo Moura, Elomar, Heraldo do Monte, Conjunto Epoca de Ouro, Ney Matogrosso, Rafael Rabello and Ernesto Nazareth, which is a very popular Brazilian composed that had a profound influence on the course of Brazilian music, such like Heitor Villa Lobos. I urge Loronixers to send feedback on this anthological record where once again classical music meets popular music. Tracks include:

01 - Odeon (Ernesto Nazareth)
02 - Escorregando (Ernesto Nazareth)
03 - Duvidoso (Ernesto Nazareth)
04 - Eponina (Ernesto Nazareth)
05 - Batuque (Ernesto Nazareth)
06 - Fon-Fon (Ernesto Nazareth)
07 - Confidencias (Ernesto Nazareth)
08 - Famoso (Ernesto Nazareth)
09 - Mercedes (Ernesto Nazareth)
10 - Vem Ca, Branquinha (Ernesto Nazareth)
11 - Apanhei-te, Cavaquinho (Ernesto Nazareth)
12 - Brejeiro (Ernesto Nazareth)
13 - Bambino (Ernesto Nazareth)
14 - Sarambeque (Ernesto Nazareth)
15 - Carioca (Ernesto Nazareth)

Cristina Buarque - Cristina (1974)

Since we made a Cristina Buarque EP some weeks ago, friends got excited to hear the whole LP where that EP tracks were taken. I'm glad to find it on a very good condition in the beginning of this week, and I'm amazed with this album and with the delicate voice and Cristina Buarque interpretation. Cristina Buarque delivers a very solid album, above the average for a debut LP. Let's see.

This is Cristina Buarque - Cristina (1973), for RCA Victor. Justin Thyme will be pleased with another RCA Victor studios Samba album. Cristina performs a repertoire of Sambas with some beautiful forgotten selections from Samba legends from the past, such like Noel Rosa and Lupscinio Rodrigues, along with Samba composers from the 70's, with highlights to Dona Ivone Lara, Paulinho da Viola, Nelson Cavaquinho and others. Cesar Camargo Mariano delivers arrangements and piano playing and some tracks and Cristina Buarque as the accompaniment of a constellation of Brazilian musicians, such as Cartola playing violao on track 02 - Ao Amanhecer. Inside the music, you will find detailed information on each song composers and musicians. Tracks include:

Joao Gilberto - Cantando as Musicas de Orfeu do Carnaval | EP 45rpm (1959) now complete

Update:

I was loosing my hope to have this album with the four tracks; I'm always underestimating the strength of our community. Galego, which is a brand new friend of Loronix, sent it to us a few minutes ago in a very nice quality. This is the reason for making it again, once again, direct link to music, no Rapidshare.

I would like to thanks Galego for providing 04 - Frevo, the missing track. This post was a blockbuster with more than 700 downloads so far.

A Loronixer sent this album to us in the end of 2006 and did not identify himself. Since then, I have been searching for a missing track 04 - Frevo (Antonio Carlos Jobim). I decided today to do not wait anymore and I'm asking the help of our community to find this missing track and complete this little record. This is the reason why download is been provided as a direct link, no Rapidshare.

This is Joao Gilberto - Cantando as Musicas de Orfeu do Carnaval | 45rpm (1959), for Odeon, featuring songs taken from Black Orpheus original song track. While friends are searching for the missing track, it is a good idea to listen to Joao Gilberto performing the three ones available. Tracks include:

01 - A Felicidade (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 - Manha de Carnaval (Luiz Bonfa / Antonio Maria)
03 - O Nosso Amor (Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 - Frevo (Antonio Carlos Jobim)

Os Romanticos - Bossa Nova

I think we are entering on a phase where everybody is excited to know not credited artists behind Bossa Nova albums. Caetano Rodrigues comes to bring another contribution to our community. Caetano comes with a challenge, delivering an album that I could not gather any info about. Let's see.

This is Os Romanticos - Bossa Nova (no date), for unknown label. I'm not sure if Caetano Rodrigues knows the Brazilian label that issues Os Romanticos, otherwise, this should be the first album released at Loronix with a non-identified label. Anyway, the mystery is not finished; we don't know who is Os Romanticos, musicians and release date. The album features soft instrumental Bossa Nova renditions performed with percussion, bass, guitar, accordion and violin. Caetano urges Loronixers to get more information about Os Romanticos - Bossa Nova. Tracks include:

01 - Lindos Olhos Azuis
02 - Preciso dar um Jeito
03 - Chega de Sofrer
04 - Depois do Carnaval
05 - Historia
06 - Corcovado
07 - O Amor em Paz
08 - De Mais Amor
09 - Menino Desce Dai
10 - Samba em Preludio
11 - Deixa a Nega Gingar
12 - Que Saudade
