I have to admit that my first contact with Fats Elpidio was here at Loronix. Caetano is responsible for making this extraordinary artist available for us through one of his first contributions, Fats Elpidio – Piano Bossa Nova (1960), here. This is probably the last solo album by Fats Elpidio. I made a short research and now I known that Fats Elpidio, is probably alive and after this supposed last release he joined the legendary Orquestra Tabajara, made several records as a side man and was also member of Elza Soares and Eliana Pittman support group as a sideman. It is unbelievable that he did not make more albums as main performer.

This is Fats Elpidio – Fats Samba (1964), for Copacabana. The cover you see and the music you hear is from a later issue by Beverly. Fats Samba is the kind of album that can make dance and kick around the house even the most timid friend in the world. Personnel lists top-notch musicians, delivering the best they could make under musical direction of the great Moacyr Silva. Thanks a million Caetano. Tracks include:

Mr. D&C will be pleased with this post. Since the fist list sent to zecalouro, Mr. D&C had this LP listed. I’m happy to have it now to Mr. D&C and Loronixers, it was part of another of those nice opportunities at the old vinyl shops in Rio.

This is Conjunto Balambossa – Poema do Adeus (no date), for Coledisc. Another Conjunto Balanbossa LP was released last year. I remember that I said that sometimes the record companies uses to create bands or groups just to make specific releases. I think this is also the case, this LP is different from that one and seems to be played by different musicians. Let’s see what happens. Tracks include:

01 – Na Cadência do Samba (Ataulfo Alves / Paulo Gesta)
02 – Chora Tua Tristeza (Oscar Castro Neves / Luvercy Fiorini)
03 – Nós e o Mar (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
04 – Se Você Disser Que Sim (Luis Bandeira)
05 – Tamanco no Samba (Orlann Divo / Hélton Menezes)
06 – Quem Manda na Minha Vida (Herivelto Martins / Raul Sampaio)
07 – Poema do Adeus (Luis Antônio)
08 – Samba da Madrugada (Dora Lopes / Carminha Mascarenhas / Herotides)
09 – Corcovado (Tom Jobim)
10 – Gamação (João Roberto Kelly)
11 – Palhaçada (Haroldo Barbosa / Luis Reis)
12 – Volta Por Cima (Paulo Vanzolini)

Não tinha esse disco. Porém, graças aos amigos bOssas nOvas e Martoni, ele agora está disponível na Rádio Forma e Elenco.  Como apontado pelo bOssas nOvas (ver comentários) o “Conjunto Balambossa”, nesta gravação, é “constituído” pelo Celso Murilo e pelo Fats Elpídio. Não, eles não estão tocando juntos: o disco é uma coletânea de faixas destes dois artistas lançadas em outros discos.

Sorry friends, I could not resist to another trombone release. This is not exactly a trombone LP, but has the arrangements of Carioca and the mighty Nelsinho do Trombone, which is entertainment guaranteed. By the way, another nice released provided by our great friend Caetano Rodrigues. Very beautiful.

Meet Fats Elpidio – Piano Bossa Nova (1960), for RCA Victor, also, the first Fats Elpidio release at Loronix. Fats Elpidio is a Brazilian pianist and composer, also known as Pernambuco, started his career in 1930 at Orquestra de Jonas Silva and among many contributions for Brazilian music he is also credited to be the first to perform a Jazz concert in Rio de Janeiro at Fluminense Football Club.

Caetano is always surprising zecalouro with these jewels. I admit that I never heard a Fats Elpidio LP in my life and I can say that any serious Brazilian music collector should open a slot to Fats Elpidio. Fats discography is huge. He recorded some LPs in the late 50′s as Fats Elpidio e Seu Conjunto that should be amazing picks.

Piano Bossa Nova has arrangements by Carioca and Nelsinho leading top-notch musicians: Fats Elpídio (piano), Del Loro (guitarra), Ari (trompa), Maurílio (piston), Ari Ferreira (flute), Luis Marinho (bass), Plinio (drums), Aurino (sax tenor) and Barão & Gilberto (percussion). Tracks include:

01 – Meditação (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
02 – Samba de Uma Nota Só (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
03 – Bossa Novíssima (Tutuca / Ivan Paulo da Silva “Carioca”)
04 – Pior Pra Você (Evaldo Gouveia / Almeida Rego)
05 – Chora Tua Tristeza (Oscar Castro Neves / Luvercy Fiorini)
06 – Presidente Bossa Nova (Juca Chaves)
07 – Menina Feia (Oscar Castro Neves / Luvercy Fiorini)
08 – Carinho e Amor (Tito Madi)
09 – Teleco-teco Nº 2 (Nelsinho / Oldemar Magalhães)
10 – Três Amores (Zaccarias)
11 – Era Bom (Hianto de Almeida / Macedo Neto)
12 – Menina Moça (Luis Antônio)
