I would like to start showing Dori Caymmi from his erlier works, but since I knew this one has gone so prematurely out of print, I could not resist on making. Meet Dori Caymmi, the son of Dorival Caymmi and the internationally acclaimed composer, singer, arranger and producer. Dori Caymmi began very early to study music, taking piano lessons at the age of eight, being also student of the legendary Maestro Moacir Santos. Dori Caymmi music is present in many important Brazilian albums throughout decades as acoustic guitar player, arranger, composer and many others roles. Let’s feedback the first Dori Caymmi release at Loronix.

This is Dori Caymmi – Kicking Cans (1992), for Warner. This is the kind of album that you will spin many times from now one. Dori Caymmi singing is smooth, tender and his arrangements are really beautiful. Kicking Cans features top-notch musicians, such as: Herbie Hancock, Claudio Slon, Brandford Marsalis, Ivan Lins, Paulinho da Costa, among others. Arrangements and production by Dori Caymmi.

Gaucho e Seu Conjunto – Rio… Madrugada e Amor (1958)

Publicado em: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 by zecalouro

Hello, Good Evening! I never saw such excitement we are having yesterday with the last Luiz Eca with Bill Evans post. An anonymous friend said this tape should be released on CD and made worldwide. Perhaps today we don’t need new music since the listening pleasure of everybody is guaranteed for a long time. So far, the music was downloaded 245 times, really above the average and this counter increases every minute.

Anyway, the show must go on, so let’s start today making something that I like very much, the first post of an artist never released before at Loronix.

This is Gaucho e Seu Conjunto – Rio… Madrugada e Amor (1958), for RGE. I could not track who is Gaucho among several artists with the same name. As far as I know, Gaucho was an active accordion player that recorded more than ten albums from the 50′s to the early 60′s. This is his second LP and the first recorded for RGE. Rio… Madrugada e Amor has Gaucho his conjunto, with no identified members playing bass, piano, drums and percussion. Nice and delicious to hear album by this Brazilian accordion player. Tracks include:

01 – Maladie D’amour (H. Salvador / Lanjean)
02 – Final (Paul Misraki / B. Molar)
03 – Mienteme (A. Dominguez)
04 – You do Something To Me (Cole Porter)
05 – Que Reste T’il de nos Amours (Charles Trenet)
06 – Tudo É Ilusão (Waldir Finotti / Nelson T. Paiva)
07 – Você Passou (Nazareno de Brito / Alcyr Pires Vermelho)
08 – Maria dos Meus Pecados (Jair Amorim / Dunga)
09 – Mulatinho (Nestor Campos)
10 – Rosa do Mato (Sergio Ricardo / Geraldo Serafim)
11 – Vem Meu Amor (Rubem Gerardi / Oldemar Magalhães)
12 – Cansei de Ilusões (Tito Madi)

Finally arrived. It is everything I was wondering to be. You don’t need to clean your glasses or check if your monitor is having problems, what you read is what you will hear, Luiz Eca and Bill Evans performing together at Chiko’s Bar, Rio de Janeiro, 1980.

This is Luiz Eca & Bill Evans – Ao Vivo no Chiko’s Bar (1980), for Loronix. I never heard about Bill Evans in Brazil and I have to say many thanks to JustBeto for making his K-7 tape available and Luiz Harding for the excellent remastering to digital format. The tape features an hour of music, including the guest appearance of Leny Andrade, singing Wave and some other nice things, such as Luiz Eca and Bill Evans talking to each other and some Eca improvisations using the acute keys of the piano.

JustBeto said to do not separate tracks to provide the full experience, but I decided to split the concert in 14 tracks with the whole concert. Applauses, conversations and piano improvisations are in the end of each track and the splits did not left a second of music out. Anyway, thanks JustBeto and Luiz. Some tracks were identified by the parrot in charge of this website, but I decided to take no risks making available the 14 tracks with no names.

E o Frank-Oliver nos enviou o link do blog Jazz Station, com mais informações sobre a gravação, que em 2010 foi lançada comercialmente. Está aqui. Pelo visto, a gravação é de 1979 e não de 1980. Abaixo a contracapa do disco, que tem a listagem das músicas (clique para aumentar):

Here we go on another Caetano Rodrigues contribution, showing this time a new artist to Loronixers, which is probably a well-known artist using a fake name to record on another label bypassing his contract obligations. This mysterious artist uses the name of Bil Bell or Bil Bel varying on each album recorded. Let’s see.

This is Bil Bell – Rosa Morena | Sambas que Nao Se Esquecem (1970), for Tropicana. Tropicana is Columbia subsidiary that recorded some nice albums such as Samba 5 – Moderninho (1970) and the fantastic Bwana Trio – Bwana Trio (no date), both available at Loronix. Bil Bell is a sax player and he delivers instrumental renditions of Samba standards. Tracks include:

01 – Teleco
02 – Faceira
03 – Lá Vem a Baiana
04 – Apito no Samba
05 – Meditação
06 – Samba de Uma Nota Só
07 – Se Acaso Você Chegasse
08 – Rosa Morena
09 – É Luxo Só
10 – Chega de Saudade
11 – Desafinado
12 – Menina Moça

Music Video | Luiz Bonfa – Batucada

Publicado em: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 by zecalouro

The mighty HansVonz released a couple of days ago two new Luiz Bonfa videos at YouTube. I could not resist picking the one that I like most and show it to Loronixers. Luiz Bonfa (with a huge mustache) plays Batucada at Julie Andrews Show. The clip ends suddenly and it is a very short footage, but people like it so much that it is not a issue.

Hope uEnjoy!

Omar Izar – Quem Tem “Gaita” Faz Sucesso (1960) with Orquestra RGE

Hello, Good Evening! Loronix engineers are making extra hours today, some special posts are being prepared and I hope they make it timely. We will have really special posts today, starting with this one, which is the first album at Loronix by a truly legendary harmonica player, cousin of a Loronixer.

This is Omar Izar – Quem tem Gaita faz Sucesso (1960), for RGE. Thanks Carlos Braga, JustBeto and all the folks from Quadradinho for point this extraordinary musician. Omar Izar had an important role in the development of Brazilian harmonica playing. Carlos Braga says that Mauricio Einhorn – a true genius of harmonica and one of the top musicians ever in history – decided to play harmonica hearing Omar Izar. I’m really glad on making this post and also proud of the work made by Carlos Braga and JustBeto, which is Omar Izar cousin. Carlos Braga prepared today a piece of text showing his passion to this fantastic instrument. I’m making the beginning of his text available here and you can get the complete Carlos Braga writing inside the music or thought a series of small posts at Quadradinho. Tracks include:

Carlos Braga writing:

“Minha paixão pela harmônica-de-boca (ou gaita, ou ainda, segundo o Rildo Hora, realejo, começou lá nos anos 50. Meu pai me levou ao auditório da Rádio Nacional para assistir o EDU DA GAITA, com a orquestra do maestro RADAMES GNATALLI no programa ‘UM MILHÃO DE MELODIAS’. O homem solou simplesmente o complicadíssimo ‘VÔO DO BESOURO’ do Rimsky-Korsakow. Naquela época a gaita era muito mais popular e divulgada do que hoje. Nos USA havia grandes solistas e conjuntos de gaita (trios, quartetos, etc.). Eu tenho uma gravação da RHAPSODY IN BLUE (Gershwin) com o gaitista inglês LARRY ADLER e orquestra sinfonica regida pelo GEORGE MARTIN (Beatles) – muito boa, mas não chega nem perto do que vi/ouvi com o mitológico EDU DA GAITA.

Muitos anos mais tarde, quando tive a dádiva DIVINA de conhecer e me tornar amigo do MAURICIO EINHORN, ele me falou que sua paixão pela gaita se concretizou ao ouvir o gaitista OMAR IZAR. Como o mundo é pequeno e o LORONIX é enorme, o grande OMAR é primo do nosso JUSTBETO, que vai falar sobre ele daqui há pouquinho… (…)” continued…

Track List

01 – Noite Cheia de Estrelas (Cândido das Neves “Índio”)
02 – Chora a Tua Tristeza (Oscar Castro Neves / Luvercy Fiorini)
03 – Theme From a Summer Place (M. Steiner)
04 – Noite Chuvosa (João Leal Brito ”Britinho” / Fernando César)
05 – Alguém Me Disse (Jair Amorim / Evaldo Gouveia)
06 – Guarda Che Luna (Malgoni / Elgos)
07 – O Menino Desce o Morro (Vera Brasil / De Rosa)
08 – Pretty Blue Eyes (Randazzo / Weinstein)
09 – I’ll Never Fall In Love Again (J. Ray)
10 – Lago dos Cisnes (Tchaikovsky)
11 – Nuestro Juramento (Benito de Jesus)
12 – Sem Ninguém (Omar Izar)

PS.: Era bastante comum utilizar a palavra “gaita” como referência ao dinheiro, tal como a atual “grana”, “bufunfa” e o bem recente “dim-dim”. Isso explica o “Gaita” entre aspas na capa do álbum, uma brincadeira de duplo sentido.

Vinicius de Moraes – Vinicius | Poesia e Cancao Vol. 1 e 2 (1966)

We had wonderful posts today, the excellent Dionysio and the great surprise made by Luiz Harding showing the so far unknown personnel listing with Baden Powell, Milton Banana Trio reposting, Maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim as musical director of Para Viver um Grande Amor, based on Pobre Menina Rica play and now the great close with a double tribute album to Vinicius de Moraes, which is something that needs detailed introduction, as follows:

This is Vinicius de Moraes – Vinicius | Poesia e Cancao Vol. 1 e Vol. 2 (1966), for Forma, featuring the live recording of a tribute to Vinicius de Moraes at Teatro Municipal de Sao Paulo, December 13, 1966. This concert was a one-time event and I’m sure a once in a lifetime opportunity for those who had the chance of being there.

Vinicius de Moraes is surrounded by a constellation of artists in both volumes released by Forma, such as Carlos Lyra, Edu Lobo, Baden Powell, Ciro Monteiro, Francis Hime and Elizeth Cardoso, one of the main performers on that day, not included in this album due contractual obligations with Copacabana label. The Brazilian actors Paulo Autran and Suzana de Moraes support the event on reading Vinicius de Moraes poems.

Orquestra Sinfonica de Sao Paulo with Maestro Diogo Pacheco were in the set, delivering orchestra support throughout the set. A quartet featuring Cesar Camargo Mariano (piano), Milton Banana (drums), Azeitona (bass) and Copinha (flute) was also assembled to render this beautiful tribute to Vinicius de Moraes. Tracks include:
