Presenting Maestro Gerson Flinkas for the first time on Parallel Realities with two of his career albums.
I have chosen Sua Majestade, O Baile from 1960 as the first for the simple reason that the back cover displays the large list of very prominent members of his Grande Orquestra:
Violinos: Irany Pinto, Ciccillo, Bissaggio, Paulo, Noli, Pinheiro, Damião, Marcus, Sporh, Gentil, Julio e Murillo
Sax tenor: Zé Bodega e Sandoval Dias
Sax alto: K-Ximbinho e Jaime Araújo
Sax baritono: Adherbal Moreira
Pistom: Hamilton, Barreto, G. Medeiros e Laerte
Trombone: Ed Maciel, W. Moura, Norato e Manoel Araújo
Piano: Tito Romero
Guitarra: José Menezes
Contrabaixo: Vidal
Vibrafone: Jota Cláudio
Bells: Chuca-Chuca
Bateria: Paulinho e Plinio
Bongô: Sebastião
Ritmo: Marçal, Eliseu, Noel, Boca de Ouro e Alberto
Vocalizes: Dalva de Andrade
As well as the members of the Choir: Severino Filho, Hortência Araújo, Ivone Rebelo, Odaléa Sodré e Aldir Mendes
The track list speaks for itself:
01. Brigas Nunca Mais (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02. Noites de Moscou (Vassily Solovyov-Sedoy)
03. Sai do Bar (Ricardo Galeno / Paulo Tito)
04. Io (Domenico Modugno / Franco Migliacci)

The link is where expected:

FACTS AND GUESSES by Bossanov:
Tito Romero - in reality is special Polydor's name for João Adelino Leal Brito, AKA Britinho (CBS, Columbia, Odeon, Sinter) / Leal Brito, Al Brito / Pierre Kolmann (Musidisc) and Franca Villa (Sinter). Can the pianoman from another Gerson's LP, El Romeu, be Leal Brito too?
Or it is Romeu Fossati (Mocambo)? Who knows?
Vibrafone player Jota Cláudio may be José Cláudio das Neves?
Com o naipe de musicos listado a orquestra não deveria se chamar "grande" mas sim "maxi". Belissimas orquestração, regencia e repertorio.
ReplyDeleteParabens pela postagem!!! e que venha mais como esta....
Hi, Milan!
ReplyDeleteGreat Music!
You're right - Noites de Moscou are penned by Vassily Solovyov-Sedoy, not by Issac Dunayevsky.
Some words about other musicians. Tito Romero - in reality is special Polydor's name for "João Adelino Leal Brito ", AKA "Britinho" (CBS, Columbia, Odeon, Sinter)/ "Leal Brito, Al Brito / Pierre Kolmann" (Musidisc) and "Franca Villa" (Sinter).Can the pianoman from another Gerson's LP "El Romeu" be Leal Brito too? Or it is Romeu Fossati (Mocambo)? Who knows? Vibrafone player Jota Cláudio may be José Cláudio das Neves?
All the best. Bossanov
About Vassily Solovyov-Sedoy I found out thanks to one of your previous comments.
DeleteSpeaking about Britinho, stay tuned as in a short time Marshall Tito Romero will appear out of the blue, straight into this reality, together with additional facts about him.
