Jadir de Castro e Seus Poliglotas Ritmicos - Samba Internacional (1963)

Philips P 632.167 L

If this is your first encounter with Jadir de Castro, I bet that by looking at the cover you must have assumed that he is a drummer.

If that was your guess, you were right!

I found out that he has recorded (at least) five career albums, out of which the third album, presented now, marks his premiere on Parallel Realities.
Rhythm created, as far as I understood the text on the back cover, mainly as a present to the international community.

His Poliglotas Rítmicos accompanying him, enhanced by the Coro de Joab Teixeira, are:

Jadir de Castro (Bateria)
Jorginho, Copinha e Meirelles (Flauta)
Aderbal Moreira (Sax barítono)
Zé Marinho (Piano)
+
Coro de Joab Teixeira

On most of the tracks Jadir is featured also as author or co-author: 

01. Nega Apanhou a Sandália (Jadir de Castro)
02. Venez Ici Mademoiselle (Jadir de Castro / Caco Velho)
03. Pensando na Europa (Jadir de Castro / Justino Martins)
04. Aí Mon Vieux (José M. Pinto / Jadir de Castro)
05. Aquarela Carioca (Lombardi Filho / Pedro Rogério)
06. Quizumba no Samba (Jadir de Castro)
07. Arrivé Le Batuque (Jadir de Castro / João Mello)
08. Na Base da Confirmação (Jorge Santos)
09. Samba Pra Nós (Laércio Vieira)
10. Barraco de Palha (Nena Caboclo / Jadir de Castro)
11. Relembrando Paris (Jadir de Castro)

Maria Ignez - O Tema E Amor (1963)

Mocambo LP 40156

Once more the unexpected happens: Maria Ignez, a cantora from the golden period of Brazilian music unknown to me, gets her premiere on Parallel Realities (a place where unknown cantoras are very welcome) with her one and only (?) career LP recorded for Mocambo at an unknown date. Still, judging by the back cover, where some of Mocambo's previous albums are promoted, combined with a guess, I assume that it must be 1963, or 1962.
If you know the exact year, tell me and I will edit the post correspondingly.

While loosing your time in determining the exact date of this release, enjoy Maria's voice singing:

01. As Folhas Verdes de Verão (The Green Leaves Of Summer) (Paul Francis Webster / Dimitri Tiomkin / Vrs. Paulo Rogério)
02. Cabeça Virada (Carlos Cruz / Jair Amorim)
03. São Teus Olhos (William Duba / Nahum Luis)
04. Vem Meu Amor (Hélio Justo)
05. Tanto Amor Tanta Dor (Romeu Fossati)
06. A Noite e a Prece (Evaldo Gouveia / Almeida Rego)
07. Festa nos Olhos (Jorge de Castro / Wilson Batista)
08. Apelo a Iemanjá (J. Serra / Jossicar)
09. Resignação (Vera Falcão / Murillo Latini)
10. Só o Amor É Divino (Marino Pinto / Sergio Malta)
11. Mamãe Orando (Paulo Gesta / Wilson Ferreira)

Bossa in Russia

Bossanov has sent me a mail with several links to videos of Russian artists performing Bossa.

Here is a re-print of his mail with links and comments:


"Just to share some nice RUSSIAN music with Braz flavour:

VIDEO 1  2008. Алексей Иващенко и Ирина Богушевская:

Alexei is one of my favourite Russian singer-poets (he is my colleague from the Geographical Faculty of Moscow University) - Alexei Ivashchenko and Irina Bogushevskaya in "Chega de saudade" in Russian. Alexei’s own translation to Russian is so beautiful!!!

Alexei, with another geographer,  Georgy Vassiliev, formed the great duet “Ivasi”, often performing their own songs.

In 2002 Georgy Vassiliev together with 900 people  was taken as hostage by Chechen Terrorists in “Dubrovka” Concert Center. Alexei Ivashchenko and some other people jumped from the window and escaped!
More then 170 hostages were killed. Georgy survived, but stopped concert activity. Alexei continued as a singer-poet, but with some saudade! 


VIDEO 2  Aguas de Marco
Another nice translation of Alexei!  Irina Bogushevskaya is so charming!!!


VIDEO 3 This is the great Alexander Dolsky (Александр Дольский) from S.Petersburg / Leningrad.

His virtuoso guitar and great poetry in “I’m fool, so…’ («Я глуп и потому…»). It was recorded maybe in 1980, and one of the first bossa novas I heard and immediately loved!


VIDEO 4  This is my favourite Russian jazz-guitar – Alexei Kuznetsov! Very beautiful song with the Vladimir Kull Quartet at the 1965 Moscow Jazz Festival: “The Evening Song” («Вечерняя песня» by Soloviov - Sedoy)

Vladimir Kull (piano)
Alexei Kusnetzov (guitar)
Vladimir Smolyanzki (bass)
Alexander Salganik (drums)

Moscow, June/July 1965


VIDEO 5   Bossa-Nova ("Alyosha") / Босса-Нова ("Алёша»)

Artists: A. Kuznetsov & Variety Orchestra / А. Кузнецов И Эстрадный Оркестр, 1967

Composer: A. Kuznetsov / А. Кузнецов


VIDEO 6  Full album of Alexei from 1981 with nice Bop and some bossa!


VIDEO 7  Not exactly a Russian album by great Estonians - Marju Kuut & Uno Loop! But with a Russian Orchestra – Alexander Ryabov’s (clarinet, sax) Orchestra of Leningrad Radio."

Sexteto Plaza - Festival de Ritmos (1958)

Sinter SLP 1756

A premiere of Sexteto Plaza on Parallel Realities or a continuation of previously posted Trio Plaza (1956, featuring Luisinho Eça) and precedent of Plaza Internacional Orchestra (1962) maybe?

Or is only the name of the hotel, bar, restaurant or whatever Plaza might be, the only connection?

The text on the back cover of this album (first of altogether three + 78 rpms covering 1958 - 1959) written by Ari Vasconcelos, Presidente do Clube dos Cronistas de Disco presents us with an interesting sounding recipe for a cocktail called baba de moça and uses the rest of the space on the back cover to explain also the essential ingredients of a successful recipe for para dançar music, but gives no answer to the obvious questions:

1. Who is the girl on the front cover?
2. What and where is the Plaza?
3. Who are the musicians?

Fortunately the track listing is present:

1. Yo Tengo Una Muñeca (Juanito Tremble)
    Covarde (Getúlio Macedo / Lourival Faissal)
    Ay Cosita Linda (Pacho Galan)

2. L'edera (Merci) (Saverio Seracini / Vincenzo D'Acquisto)

Nozinho e Sua Musica - Para O Seu Prazer... (1956)

A premiere of Nôzinho on Parallel Realities happens in form of his first album (a 10' LP) out of altogether three + four 78 rpms, covering the period from 1954 to 1959. At least, that is the information I picked up from Memoria Musical.
A try to find out more about Nôzinho and the muscians that are accompanying him by reading the back cover showed an unexpected result: Absolutely nothing. On the other hand the back cover clearly states the name of the girl decorating the front cover (+ presents a list called: OUTROS SUCESSOS COPACABANA)

Roberto Coura e Conjunto - Bailes Memoraveis (1965)

Astor ALP-015

The only (?) album by organ player Roberto Coura and his conjunto as a premiere on Parallel Realities.
As much as I try, I can't restrain from expressing my impression after listening to this album countless times ever since I unpacked it from the package received from Pedro & 300discos:

It is simply fascinating!

If you think that the main reason for this exaltation is the newly discovered cantora Maristela, you are right. But it is not only her superb voice and way of singing but also the conjunto's backing with beautiful, discrete conversations between Roberto's organ and Dante's violin, for example on the San Remo flaired Al Di La or on the spectacular Busto Calado...

Needless to say that I started an immediate search for more by Maristela and Roberto Coura, with, unfortunately, thin results: A Maristela (if that is the same one) has 1953 sung on one track of Eu Sou O Baião - Seleções de Humerto Teixeira, while Roberto Coura has recorded an album called Vamos Ao Baile for Golden Records, but it turned out to be a re-edition of the album presented here.

Now the usual question in such cases:

Does anyone have more information?

While shrugging your shoulders in ignorance, read the list of musicians:

Roberto Coura: Órgão 
Waldir: Pistom 
Mineirinho: Sax tenor 
Dante: Violino, Saxofone, Clarinete 
Wilson: Ritmo 
Clodoaldo: Violão 
Argento: Bateria 
Corvino: Trombone 
Nefe: Contrabaixo 
Maristela: Crooner

While waiting for somebody else to tell us more, enjoy:

02. Scapricciatiello (Pacifico Vento / Ferdinando Albano) com Maristela
03. Canção Irlandeza (Fritz Kreisler)

K-Ximbinho e Seu Conjunto - O Samba de Cartola (1958)

Polydor LPNG 4025

The newest package by Pedro & 300discos, is getting transferred to my PC as I write confronted with a sweet dilemma: Which one of the two albums from my Santa Claus list that are included in the package to post first?

I decided to give priority to the older one, even if the difference in age is just one year.

K-Ximbinho's career album from 1958 which has, as far as I know, never before been presented on the net.
His other career albums, two 78 rpms, as well as several of his participations you may find in another reality.

The list of musicians is prominent:

K-Ximbinho (Clarinete)
August Keller e Hans Breittinger (Oboé)
Luis Barbosa Mendes (Trompete)
Nestor Campos (Guitarra)
Pedro Vidal Ramos (Contrabaixo)
Paulinho (Bateria)
Milton Marçal e Sebastião Barros (Ritmo)
Ari Paulo da Silva (Trompa)
Aderbal Moreira (Sax barítono)
Juarez Araújo (Sax tenor)
Jorge Ferreira da Silva (Sax alto)
Meirelles e Antônio Souza (Flauta)

So is the repertoire:

01. Viva Meu Samba (Billy Blanco)
02. Agora É Cinza (Alcebíades Barcelos "Bide" / Armando "Marçal")
03. Chove Lá Fora (Tito Madi)
04. Aquarela do Brasil (Ary Barroso)
05. E Eu Sem Maria (Dorival Caymmi / Alcyr Pires Vermelho)
06. A Voz do Morro (Zé Keti)

Guerra Peixe e Orquestra - O Rei da Valsa (Johann Strauss) (1959)

Chantecler CMG 1003

A mail correspondence with friend Fausto Neves, an admirer of Maestro Guerra Peixe, about his music and music for gafieras in general, resulted in his sending me some albums by and featuring Guerra Peixe he found on the net and which were not present in my collection.

Here is an extract from one of his mails:

"Cesar Guerra-Peixe was an important Brazilian composer, music professor, arranger and conductor.
Even as a composer of concert music, he worked a lot as musical director, arranger and composer for film music.
He also worked with radio stations orchestras and orchestras of popular dance halls.
In Brazil these dance halls are called gafieiras.

The Lps included here (such as those you have) are best examples of the music for gafieiras."

Here is  Maestro Guerra Peixe in 1959 performing valsas composed by Johann Strauss. This album was digitalized by a charming lady, Cláudia Beraldo.

01. Danúbio Azul (Johann Strauss)
02. Sangue Vienense (J. Strauss)
