Finally, a Mr. X. contribution. Mr. X, is the first Mr. at Loronix. The Mr. aliases were created to identify contributors that asked for being not identified. Actually, friends are asking to receive their Mr. titles, which is something that makes me very proud.

However, Mr. X is unique. It is the only that nobody really knows his real identity. Very exciting situation since he said that he lives very close to me, walking distance. Mr. X, makes massive contributions and has another nice thing, he does not complain when zecalouro makes such bad things as release a Mr. X contribution with no mention, do not release Mr. X contributions for months. I’m now filling the gaps with Mr. X., with this wonderful album. Thanks Mr. X.

This is Geraldo Vespar – Brasil Romantico (1975), for Odeon. Little is known about this LP, but what is known is quite enough to make it great. It is arranged and played by Geraldo Vespar with his violao loud and clear in all tracks. Geraldo Vespar is a revolutionary musician that will always have a special place on my collection and I’m sure on several others friends. Tracks include:

01 – Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 – Das Rosas (Dorival Caymmi)
03 – Waves (Tom Jobim)
04 – Dindi (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira)
05 – Autumn Days (Geraldo Vespar)
06 – Chove Chuva (Jorge Ben “Jorge Benjor”)
07 – Manhã de Carnaval (Luis Bonfá / Antônio Maria)
08 – Tristeza (Haroldo Lobo / Niltinho Tristeza)
09 – O Cantador (Dori Caymmi / Nelson Motta)
10 – Samba de Uma Nota Só (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
11 – Adeus ao Piano (Adiós Al Piano) (Ludwig Van Beethoven / Adpt. Geraldo Vespar)
12 – Samba de Verão (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)

Geraldo Vespar, Maestro, arranger, composer, and guitarist is truly a genius. A musician that influenced several generations through years. As guitarrist, an innovator, positioned at the same level as Baden Powell and others. I’m making something different with this post making available a link to the song Diz que Fui por Ai (Ze Ketti / Hortencio Rocha) with Nara Leao and Geraldo Vespar on guitar from the LP Nara (1964), for Elenco.

Geraldo Vespar plays with a single percussion accompaniment, starting a new style of playing. Make a try; even if you are not a musician, you will be pleased with Vespar guitar backing Nara.

This is Diz que Fui por Ai: 

This is Geraldo Vespar – Eu e o Violao (1968), for Parlophone, another release provided by Caetano Rodrigues that I was saving for the right time, but several Loronix friends were requesting this LP, which is not easy to find, and I could not wait longer. Such beautiful that is self-explanatory, nothing can go wrong with Eu e o Violao. Tracks include:

01 – Sá Marina (Antônio Adolfo / Tibério Gaspar)
02 – Eu e a Brisa (Johnny Alf)
03 – Desencontro (Chico Buarque)
04 – Feitiço da Vila (Noel Rosa / Vadico)
05 – Viola Enluarada (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
06 – Por Que (Geraldo Vespar / Mário Telles) — Bourrê (Geraldo Vandré)
07 – Corcovado (Tom Jobim)
08 – Até Segunda Feira (Chico Buarque)
09 – No Brilho da Faca (Wagner Tiso / Novelli / Paulo Sergio Valle)
10 – Mancada (Gilberto Gil)
11 – Olê Olá (Chico Buarque)
12 – Lapinha (Baden Powell / Paulo César Pinheiro)
