It is disappointing when you do not give value to something based on personal criterion and mannerisms or taking the others opinion and the truth. That’s exactly what happened with the first collaboration between Dick Farney and Claudette Soares, Tudo Isto e Amor, Volume One. I thought Volume Two – made available a couple of weeks ago at Loronix – was the best album and I’m shamed to realize this week that Volume One is several times better than the previous one. Volume one is really nice and I decided to show it today to Loronixers, perhaps I feel better on making it.

This is Dick Farney & Claudette Soares – Tudo Isto e Amor (1976), for Odeon. Better repertoire, beautiful arrangements and breathtaking performances in duo or solo by Dick Farney and Claudette Soares. I have been reading today several reviews and this album is highly recommended, no exception. Dick Farney makes a fascinating rendition of Tenderly (Lawrence / Gross), made available bellow as a teaser showing Farney interpretations on top of images of Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the last century. Tracks include:

01 – O Que É Amar (Johnny Alf)
02 – Minha Namorada (Carlos Lyra / Vinicius de Moraes)
03 – Este Seu Olhar (Tom Jobim)
04 – De Você Eu Gosto (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira)
05 – É Preciso Dizer Adeus (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
06 – Castigo (Dolores Duran)
07 – Tudo Isto É Amor (Laura Maria)
08 – Fotografia (Tom Jobim)
09 – Tenderly (Lawrence / Gross)
10 – O Nosso Olhar (Sergio Ricardo)
11 – Somos Dois (Armando Cavalcanti / Klécius Caldas / Luis Antônio)

I just spoke with Caetano by phone and he said the next package – a special and very different one – would be mailed tomorrow, first time in the morning. Tomorrow will be another day of tension on a day that seems to last 48 hours. Several other things are scheduled for tomorrow and I think it is better stop talking about it now before I spoil Caetano’s surprise with my big tongue.

These phone calls are also useful to get recommendations from Caetano and this album was celebrated when mentioned, by the way, what can go wrong when you have Dick Farney and Claudette Soares together? I really don’t know.

This is Dick Farney e Claudette Soares – Dick & Claudette | Tudo Isto e Amor Vol. 2 (1976), for Odeon, the second out of two albums released by Dick Farney in collaboration with Claudette Soares. This is not about Dick Farney piano accompanying Claudette Soares, they are singing together and the duets are beautiful, their voices and interpretation styles matches nicely. Personnel is not credited, but Dick Farney plays piano for sure and the legendary Saba from Jongo Trio is the executive producer. Tracks include:

01 – Chuva (Durval Ferreira / Pedro Camargo)
02 – Nós (Johnny Alf)
03 – Demais (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira)
04 – Casualmente (Berimbau)
05 – Fim de Caso (Dolores Duran)
06 – Apelo (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
07 – Nick Bar (José Vasconcelos)
08 – Preciso Aprender a Ser Só (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
09 – Ela Foi Embora (Oscar Bellandi / Djalma Ferreira)
10 – Tomara (Novelli / Paulo César Pinheiro / Maurício Tapajós)
11 – O Amor Em Paz (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)

It is cold in Rio de Janeiro, believe-me. The temperature felt down to 20 Celsius, which is something equivalent to the North Pole for Cariocas. Caetano said that Sao Paulo had the same decrease, going down to 10 Celsius at night. Perhaps this is the reason zeca is in the mood of female singers today, cold temperatures makes you slow down. I spoke with Caetano about this second Claudette Soares LP for Mocambo and he said it is better than the first one, Claudette e Dona da Bossa. I like very much the first one, so I think this should make the day, the cold day of everybody.

This is Claudette Soares – Claudette Soares (1965), for Mocambo. This cover alone worth the admission price and there is a curious fact about this album, the back cover, taken for many people by mistake as the front cover, both are amazing. Anyway, tomorrow we will start some special posts on Loronix 1st year celebration that will last until Saturday. The party at Kiko Continentino & Paulinho Guitarra concert will put Loronix on hiatus next Friday, no major concern. I think you should deserve a break between to prepare yourselves from Saturday, a truly amazing day to Loronixers. Tracks include:

01 – Gente (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
02 – Chuva (Durval Ferreira / Pedro Camargo)
03 – Mar Amar (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
04 – Primavera (Vinicius de Moraes / Carlos Lyra)
05 – Barquinho Diferente (Sergio Augusto)
06 – A Resposta (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
07 – Preciso Aprender a Ser Só (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
08 – Vivo Sonhando (Tom Jobim)
09 – Ode à Primavera (Ely Arcoverde / Newton Campos)
10 – Tem Que Ser Azul (Messias Santos Jr.)
11 – Eu Só Queria Ser (Vera Brasil / Myriam Ribeiro)
12 – Razão de Viver (Eumir Deodato / Paulo Sergio Valle)

It was very hard to choose the best post of this Saturday. Really. It took me a lot of time to decide what sould be the best pick. I will not tell the others to do not spoil the surprise on further posts, they were all great and could be here easily.

For several reasons, the decision was Claudette Soares – E Dona da Bossa (1964), for the legendary label Mocambo. I took hours thinking to decide and now I’m having troubles on writing about this release. Anyway, perhaps it is another self-explanatory, full of classic Bossa Nova tunes, such as: Garota de Ipanema, Tristeza de Nos Dois and Samba do Aviao. Tracks include:

01 – Pra Que Chorar (Vinicius de Moraes / Baden Powell)
02 – Azul Contente (Tereza Souza / Walter Santos)
03 – Samba do Avião (Tom Jobim)
04 – Sem Você (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
05 – Ah Se Eu Pudesse (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
06 – Tristeza de Nós Dois (Durval Ferreira / Bebeto / Maurício Einhorn)
07 – Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
08 – Samba Só (Walter Santos / Tereza Souza)
09 – Crediário do Amor (Theo de Barros)
10 – Bossa na Praia (Pery Ribeiro / Geraldo Cunha)
11 – Evolução (Pery Ribeiro / Geraldo Cunha)
12 – Conselho a Quem Quiser Voltar (Silvio César)
