Hello, Good Evening! I’m coming back from the place of a Loronix friend who made a special contribution to Loronixers, a small contribution in number of albums (I could bring more, I’m so shy…), but an awesome contribution in terms of quality, seven anthological Samba LPs, all solid, from start to the end and some of them very difficult to find out. Loronix engineers were contacted to extra hours tonight to make available at least one album for our community pleasure.

Meanwhile, we will be in very good company with Victor Assis Brasil and his tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim repertoire.

This is Victor Assis Brasil – Jobim (1970), for Forma, with four breathtaking renditions of Wave, So Tinha que Ser com Voce, Bonita and Dindi, considered by many the best album recorded by the Brazilian jazz legend Victor Assis Brasil. Personnel is not identified on back cover and we should thank the effort of Discos do Brasil, owned and maintained by Maria Luiza Kfouri for the identification, a constellation of top-notch musicians. Tracks include:

Personnel

Victor Assis Brasil
(sax alto)
Dom Salvador
(piano)
Edison Machado
(drums)
Helio Delmiro
(guitar)
Edson Lobo
(bass)

Track List

01 – Wave (Tom Jobim)
02 – Só Tinha de Ser Com Você (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira)
03 – Bonita (Tom Jobim)

I said before we had no Victor Assis Brasil videos at Loronix. I’m glad to share the first one, sent by Pedro Mendes Djembe, a great video collector that has an awesome page at YouTube with more than 150 videos of Brazilian Music and Jazz. Pedro’s page is here, you will spend hours there. I recommend.

The video is just bellow, but this post is all about Victor Assis Brasil second LP and the galaxy of Brazilian musicians at the set.

This is Victor Assis Brasil – Trajeto (1968), for Equipe. This is the album I was saving for this occasion. I read today that Victor Assis Brasil won the 1969 Montreux Festival edition, accompanied by Dom Salvador, Helio Delmiro, Edson Lobo and Edison Machado, being also the best sax player of this edition. I’m wondering if there are tapes or videos available with Victor performance at Montreux. It will be a real treat to hear or watch this material. Tracks include:

Victor Assis Brasil Quarteto – Pedrinho (1980)

Publicado em: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 2007

 

One of the things that makes me feel more disturbed when I take a Victor Assis Brasil album for a hearing is the exercise I make to realize what direction his music would take in these 26 years, since he passed away prematurely at the age of 37. The last Victor Assis Brasil album was sent by Caetano, Desenhos, his debut LP and now we are showing Pedrinho, his last album from 1980.

This is Victor Assis Brasil Quarteto – Pedrinho (1980), for EMI Odeon. It is a shame this album has gone out of print. Pedrinho is considered by jazz fans as the best album released by Victor Assis Brasil. I’m making a video this time with several images of Victor taken of a Brazilian TV documentary; if someone has additional Victor Assis Brasil videos, feel free to write comments and share with our community. Tracks include:

Personnel

Victor Assis Brasil
(sax alto)
Jota Moraes
(piano)
Paulo Russo
(bass)
Ted Moore
(drums)

Track List

01 – It’s All Right With Me (Cole Porter)
02 – Nada Será Como Antes (Milton Nascimento / Ronaldo Bastos)
03 – Pedrinho (Victor Assis Brasil)
04 – S’wonderful (George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin)
05 – Penedo (Victor Assis Brasil)
06 – O Cantador (Dori Caymmi / Nelson Motta)
07 – Night And Day (Cole Porter)

This is Victor Assis Brasil Quarteto – Pedrinho (1980), at Loronix.

Hope uEnjoy!

Publicado em: Thursday, March 22, 2007 by zecalouro

Victor Assis Brasil is the best Brazilian jazzman ever, praised internationally by renowned Jazz musicians such like John Coltrane, Phil Woods and many others. Victor has passed very early, with the age of 36, when he was at his peak. Caetano Rodrigues provided this record to Loronixers, which is Victor Assis Brasil debut LP and it is necessary to say it is an unique opportunity, this is a very hard to find album and this music was taken from the master tapes and is provided to us loose less, better than any other vinyl conversions take from other media. Thanks once again Caetano for providing a anthological record in such good quality.

This is Victor Assis Brasil – Desenhos (1966), for Forma, featuring the sax of Victor with the accompaniment of Tenório Júnior (piano), Edson Lobo, with the age of 19 (bass) and Chico Batera (drums). Victor had 19 years old at this recording session. Tracks include:

Personnel

Victor Assis Brasil
(sax)
Tenorio Jr.
(piano)
Edison Lobo
(bass)
Chico Batera
(drums)

Track List

01 – Naquela Base (João Donato)
02 – Devaneio (Victor Assis Brasil)
03 – Primavera (Carlos Lyra / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 – Simplesmente (Édison Lobo)

Victor Assis Brasil – Ao Vivo (1974)

Publicado em: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 by zecalouro

In 1974, Victor Assis Brazil performed live with a Quintet at Teatro da Galeria in Rio de Janeiro, this LP, Victor Assis Brazil – Ao Vivo (1974), released by Magic Music is the live recording of the session performed in September, 2.

I don’t know how hard to find is this LP, anyway it was release on CD and gone out of print. Ao Vivo seems to be of the more “generic” Victor Assis Brasil discography. The quintet is Victor Assis Brasil (sax), Lula (drums), Paulinho Russo (bass), Alberto Farah (piano) and Márcio Montarroyos (trumpet), directed and produced by Durval Ferreira. Victor Assis Brazil recordings are always out of class. Before you ask me, track 01 has nothing to do with me. Tracks include:

01 – Pro Zeca (Victor Assis Brasil)
02 – Somewhere (L. Bernstein / S. Sondhein)
03 – Puzzle (Victor Assis Brasil)
04 – Waving (Victor Assis Brasil)
