Hello again! Busy day at Loronix today, this is good. Before talking about this reposting, I would like to say that I received emails from friends who live outside Brazil asking for directions to purchase Charles Gavin’s book 300 Discos Importantes da Música Brasileira. My advice is to use Livraria Cultura on-line, they ship outside Brazil, in five continents,

This is Jacob do Bandolim - Epoca de Ouro | Jacob e Seu Bandolim em HI-FI (1958), for RCA Victor. Jacob do Bandolim recorded this album in 1958, and it is really different from his regular choro releases. Jacob is backed by and orchestra arranged by Maestro Radames Gnatalli and Maestro Carioca with Maestro Zaccarias in charge of conduction. There is also a Conjunto, not with a traditional Choro formation, featuring bass, piano, sax and accordion performed by renowned Brazilian musicians. The first post was made with a mid 60’s RCA Candem reissue and this is the first RCA Victor original issue, featuring this beautiful cover that finally arrives at Loronix. Tracks include:

Hello, good evening! Mr. Jose Ignacio Neto, kindly known as JIN, the third generation of the Ignacio's family, a family devoted to Brazilian music, and also the owner and maintainer of the legendary "A Volta" Podcast, is back to Loronix. JIN brings fantastic contributions this time, which includes a great "surprise to zeca", an unknown album that JIN guarantees it is something never heard before by many friends. Stay tuned in the forthcoming days. Let's see.
Hello, good evening! I'm not a big fan of piano solo albums; they use to be very complex, requiring a lot of concentration until you understand everything. I'm not taking in consideration this is a piano solo album played by one of the greatest Brazilian musicians ever. If I took it for a spin without knowing this is Radames Gnattali, I would be also really impressed about this music. I know we had previous piano solo albums played by Radames Gnattali, but what makes the difference here is the repertoire, full of tunes that we know by heart, making easy to understand Radames Gnattali improvisation at a first hearing. I would like to say thank you to Jorge Mello, for another fantastic contribution to Loronix. Let's see.
Hello, good evening! This is the end of our short series of orchestra albums, which began a few days ago with Maestro Severino Filho and being closed here by the legendary Orquestra Tabajara, certainly the oldest orchestra in activity in Brazil and perhaps one of the oldest in activity around the world. Orchestra Tabajara was created in 1933, being commanded by Maestro Severino Araujo since 1938. By the way, 2008 landmarks 70 years of Maestro Severino Araujo in front of Orquestra Tabajara.
Hello, good evening! I'm writing an article and organizing a discography of Brazilian music albums recorded by musicians using nicknames, which was something very common in the 60's decade, and this album is a missing piece on my discography. Unlike other artists who normally used nicknames to bypass their contractual obligations, this musician adopted this name as his artistic name, and so far he is the only musician that used this tactic in my study.
Hello, good evening! I cannot remember that last time an old and good orchestra LP was released at Loronix. Perhaps in the beginning of this year. Anyway, the style really needs more attention and this album should pay all my debts with the legion of friends who that have been creating demand for some orchestra LPs. Let’s see.
Hello, good evening! I had 10 when this album was released in 1975, and after decades, I know by heart this title track, Ossos do Oficio. I can also remember the lyrics of their most popular songs released on their previous albums, since 1971, such like, Voce Abusou, Toro de Lagrimas, Desacato and Mudei de Ideia. This is just to make you understand the great popularity this duo had in the beginning of the 1970’s. Pop stars, internationally recognized as icons of a decade, not only for his music, but also by their attitude, way of dressing and so on. Let’s see.

Hello! I would like to invite everybody to watch this video with Charles Gavin interview to GloboNews Estudio i show, hosted by Maria Beltrão. It is a truly amazing 15 minutes video with Charles speaking about his new Bossa Nova book, 300 Discos Importantes da Música Brasileira.

I’m also very proud when Charles speaks wonders about Loronix on every interview he makes, such like this one where he talks about Loronix and a great story of an album he was looking for and I had the chance to please him with a copy.
