Clarinetinho - Saudoso Toda A Vida (1966)

Fantasia/Philips FLP 2034

Clarinete player Netinho "Clarinete" accompanied by Os Cinco Boêmios for the first time with a career album (his first out of at least four) on Parallel Realities. Up to now he has been presented in this parallel reality only as sideman on various recordings.

My first impression before listening to this album was that Os Cinco Boêmios must be a vocal group, (contrary to Nethinho, they are just mentioned in the text on the back cover) but they are not. Their names are unknown but you may easily find out which instruments they are playing by listening to:

01. Carrossel (Netinho)
02. Alma Em Adoração (D. R.)
03. Nada Além (Custódio Mesquita / Mário Lago)
04. Samba no Escuro (Darci Barbosa)
05. Sertão do Meu Amor (Netinho)
06. Jubiabá (D. R.)
07. Saudoso Toda a Vida (Longe de Minha Terra) (Porfírio Costa)
08. Bamboleio Diferente (Porfírio Costa)
09. Biombo Chinês (Augusto Vasseur)
10. Sambarrumbarey (Ruy Rey / Paulo Villara)
11. Nessa Reta Eu Não Vou (Porfírio Costa)
12. Lembranças do Passado (D. R.)

Poly - Debut (1966)

EPIC BN-26193

Thanks to Stu Blagden, our friend from England, I am able to present a rarity by Poly (famous for his Hawaiian guitar playing) where he plays the classical bossa nova style guitar.

Note that the title Debut does not mean that it is Poly's first album, but it is, I believe, his US debut described on the front cover as The Exciting Premiere of the Brazilian Guitar Virtuoso Poly (released by Epic in 1966?).

Stu could not tell me the names of the musicians backing Poly, but he included the track list together with the names of the composers:

01. Um Punhadinho de Estralas (Mario Albanese)
02. A Brazilian In New York (O. Izar)
03. E Luxo Só (Ary Barroso)
04. O Caminho das Estrelas (Mario Albanese / C. Pereira)
05. Em Meus Braços... A Ilusao (Mario Albanese)
06. Brazilian Summer (M. Vaughan)
07. Sonhando Azul (Mario Albanese / C. Pereira)
08. Maria Ninguem (Carlos Lyra)
09. Canção de Poly (Z. de Mello)
10. Nois Dois e a Tarde (Mario Albanese)
11. Bate Caração (Z. de Mello)
12. Domingo Sentimental (Z. De Mello / Poly)

SOUND EDIT by Edson Mendes:

There was a problem with the edition of tracks 9 and 10: track 9 is complete but it contains part of track 10, and track 10 is missing its initial part.
So, I fixed this problem and also remastered all tracks, as they had a very long initial silence (for my taste), and also removed some noise from the original long-play:

Orquestra Som Bateau - Top Hits Vol.1 (1966)

Polydor LPNG 4122

Although the Orquestra Som Bateau has a quite prominent discography counting at least 20 career albums (of which this one is the first, as it is also the first of their Top Hits series of four), this is my first encounter with their music, which is clear para dançar, obviously performed and recorded to provide a good atmosphere for dancing and night clubbing in general.

There is a short text about their music on the back cover but Polydor does not mention any names of the performers.

Cool, straightforward sounds and rhythms on: 

01. Les Cornichons (Nino Ferrer / J. Booker)
02. Les Marionettes (Christophe)
03. Monsieur Cannibale (Gérard Gustin / Maurice Tézé)

MORE MYSTERIES SURROUNDING THIS LP by Frank-Oliver:
This record is a mystery. I first heard the original LP, the same version presented here, just guitar with rhythm section. Later this was presented by Zeca at Loronix with the very same cover, but three songs are different and the others have very different arrangements using a full conjunto behind Hugo Luiz guitar.

THE MYSTERY REVEALED by Anonymous:
According to information about the same Hugo Luiz quoted on Martoni's blog, this album was recorded in 1965 and after many use, it's matrix has been broken. As the obscure record company didn't have a copy of the matrix, the album was re-recorded with new arrangements and 4 bonus tracks.

Orquestra Mista de Boleros - Vol.2 (1963)

Musicolor/Continental MLP 9090

Orqestra Mista de Boleros presented tonight is unknown to me. All I know is that their discography consists of of two albums equally named of which this one is the volume 2.

The classical boleros are masterfully performed and the complete LP is pleasant, cool and has a nostalgic flair which is a combination not everyone is able to achieve, so I suspect that an otherwise renowned maestro has produced it with his orquestra renamed especially for recording these two albums...

If someone knows more about it all, I will be happy to add his information to this post.

Leo Peracchi e Sua Orquestra - Walt Disney Na America do Sul (1958)

Odeon MOFB 3046

Today I have the pleasure to present two albums, both of which could (conditionally) be labeled as music for children.
The first one is Walt Disney Na America do Sul with tracks that, were it not for the Três Caballeros on the front cover, could be passed as music for adults (although not for the "adults only" public). Brilliantly performed by adults: Léo Peracchi e Sua Orquestra (with a little help from Lenita Bruno).

I have enjoyed it all as much as I still enjoy Donald Duck cartoons.

I assume that these compositions were recorded as soundtrack for the South American languages version of Disney's movies:

02. Saludos Amigos (Alô Amigos) (C. Walcott / Ned Washington / Vrs. Aloysio de Oliveira)

COMMENT by Anonymous:
I have both versions and just watched both films on DVD. This CD has Portuguese language versions of the Latin flavored songs from the films. The songs and incidental music however have the same orchestrations. So they sound almost identical, except that there is really bad distortion at times on this CD, and they over did the noise suppression just a bit, so the highs are dull and almost muddy. Other than that, there's no reason to buy it if you already have a good sounding release in English, unless you have Spanish or Portuguese speaking people in your family.

Thanks to Stu Blagden who wrote a comment asking if someone here has a better copy that the one he already has, and Pedro who read his comment and included this album in the new package, Paulinho Nogueira finally has his premiere with a career album.

ORQUESTRAÇÕES DE RADAMÉS GNATTALI

Créditos: Pedro & 300discos

ABOUT ALL VERSIONS by Brazilliance:
Being Jobim’s first orchestral effort, this is a recording of historic importance. However, while the second recording from 1960, again with Gnattali but different vocalists, is just as popular as the debut, the third recording seems less known: in 1961, the Sinfonia was the soundtrack for Esse Rio Que Eu Amo featuring Lana Bittencourt and Haroldo de Almeida on lead vocals, arranged and directed by Lyrio Panicali. All three versions are compiled for comparison HERE, featuring Os Cariocas as the only act to be included on all three recordings of the Sinfonia do Rio de Janeiro.

Leaving politics aside, this is a great cultural project with the aim to promote the music and tradition of Pernambuco.

I must confess that I had no idea about the existence of cavaquinho player Waldir Silva, despite his quite large 12 career albums counting discography, until I threw a look into the latest package and fished out of it his (as I later found out) second album recorded in 1964.

ABOUT THE TWO GOVERNORS by Edson Mendes: 

Carlos Lacerda was an important and controversial Brazilian politician in the 50's and 60's (he was the governor of the Guanabara State, that was created when the Brazilian capital was transferred to Brasilia in 1960, and now doesn't exist anymore).,
This "other Carlos Lacerda" (the musician) is presented here as the "Governador do teclado", for sure picked up on the popularity of the real governor!
