Sinter SLP 1014

Straight out of my wish list: Steve Bernard's first career album, recorded back in 1954 on a 10' LP.

O Grupo E Coisa E Tal (1971)

Copacabana CLP 11640

O Grupo for the first time on Parallel Realities.

The group consist of:

Quartin: Órgão, Piano, Vocal
Renato: Baixo, Vocal
Roberto: Bateria, Vocal
Márcio: Saxofone, Flauta, Clarinete
Carlinhos: Guitarra, Vocal
Jaime e Maurício: Ritmo, Vocal

Arranjos Instrumentais: Alberto Arantes

Coordenador de produção: Moacyr Silva

O Grupo (in this formation at least) has only this one album and one compacto in their discography but there were three other groups in Brazil with the same name, out of which one O Grupo with their only album released in 1968 for Odeon could, maybe be the initial O Grupo, consisting of 4 musicians) which got transformed and became another O Grupo with a different cast. The fact that leads to that conclusion is that a Jaime and a Maurício can be found in both O Grupos (rhythm and vocal).
Plus, the sond of both O Grupos is similar.

You may read more about O Grupo and their music on both covers of this LP inside a text about them, written by Sergio Bittencourt.

The remaining two O Grupos I will not mention further as the confusion is confusing enough as it is.

Enjoy:

01. Socorro (Fred Falcão / Arnoldo Medeiros)
02. Vera Verinha (Maurício Duboc / Carlos Colla)
03. Yarabela (Toninho Horta)
04. Lá Vai Ela (Eduardo Souto Neto / Sérgio Bittencourt)
05. Canção Para Inglês Ver (Lamartine Babo)
06. Vogue (Renato Amorim)
07. Não Te Conheço Não (Fred Falcão / Arnoldo Medeiros)

Eugene D'Hellemmes e Sua Orquestra - Requebrando (1957)

Polydor LPN 2022

The French trombone and bass player, Eugène D'Hellemmes, whom we had the opportunity to enjoy in April this year, contrary to what Frank-Oliver would expect, has recorded another Brazil favoured LP (a 10') for Polydor, one year before the previously presented one.
This release is also arranged by Maestro Waldemiro Lemke.

By the way, I checked on Google Translate for the meaning of the word "Requebrando" and got two different translations, depending on the language this word is translated from:

Translated from Spanish: "Making love to her"
Translated from Portuguese: "Twisting"

The compositions are:

1. A Chuva Caiu (Tom Jobim / Luiz Bonfá) Toada
2. A Festa de Dorinha (Sidney Morais) Samba
3. Nisei (Ângelo Apolônio ''Poly'' / Juraci Rago) Baião
4. Gadu Namorando (Alcyr Pires Vermelho / Ladislau P. da Silva) Samba-choro
5. Rio É Amor (Bruno Marnet) Samba
6. Leva Saudade (Castro Perret / Osvaldo Silva) Baião
7. Insensato Coração (Antônio Maria / Paulo Soledade) Samba
8. Elegante (Altamiro Carrilho) Baião

EUGENE D'HELLEMMES IN SOUTH AMERICA by Frank-Oliver: Eugene D' Hellemmes came to South America during the second world war as a member of the Ray Ventura orchestra. This french orchestra, including the famous singer Henri Salvador, emigrated to South America from France and performed and recorded in Buenos Aires and Rio, often with spanish or portuguese vocals. After the war the orchestra returned to France. Some members stayed in South America. So does Eugene D`Hellemmes.

DOUBLE BASS by Stu Blagden:
Eugene played double bass for Django Reinhardt.

Sao Paulo Dixieland Band - Jazz Na Universidade (1964)

Chantecler CMG 2262

São Paulo Dixieland Band, presented now for the first time on Parallel Realities, consists of University students and was formed back in 1960 in order to play traditional jazz and they managed to become the best group in Brazil playing this kind of music...
I am afraid that this is their only career album, but, hopefully, I might be wrong again.
More about them, including their photographs you may find on the back cover, here is just the list:

José T. Assumpção (Contrabaixo)
Décimo Mazzocato (Banjo)

The back cover shows a detailed text about Scarambone's life, education and career written by Elmo Barros and I strongly suggest reading it.

I also suggest to hear his rendition of these tracks:

Valeria e Steve Bernard - Adam and Eve - Compacto Promo (1960)

Parallel Realities Studio PRS PR-003

A traveler through realities existing parallel to the one we consider as the only one, brought back a souvenir, a compacto promo sung by Valéria and Steve Bernard and sent it to me, unfortunately, without a cover, a problem easily solved by taking a short trip to another reality similar to the one he visited. There the cover was found, but I must confess that it seems very familiar to me.
So does the name of the traveller, Edson Mendes.

Conjunto Belsom - O Som Internacional do Belsom (1968)

Hot/Rioson LPH 5015

The third "one recording only" group of musicians in a row:

Conjunto Belsom for the first time on Parallel Realities with their (good sounding) only career album, recorded at an unknown date for Hot/Rioson.
The back cover offers, except for Sergio César, only the first names of the musicians, but fortunately, everybody knew and still knows all of them and all about them (except for me), so there was evidently no need for a full introduction.
The producer, Maestro João Negrão does have his full name displayed, so does Jocenio Corréa Coimbra, the author of the linear notes, whose text, containing information about the compositions, you may read after adding this album to your collection,

The cast is as listed:

Elsom (Trombone)
Nerval (Pistom)
Pedrinho (Guitarra base)
Dilton (Guitarra solo)
Valdier (Baixo)
Darci (Órgão)
Sandro (Bateria)
Helinho e Sergio César (Vozes)

Produced by Maestro João Negrão

The well balanced mixture of national and international compositions and their composers is:

01. Wave (Tom Jobim)
02. Sentado À Beira do Caminho (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos)
03. Ilusão de Carnaval (Pedro Sergio / Dilton Barroso)
04. Watermelon Man (Herbie Hancock / Jon Hendricks)
05. Aquele Plá (Darci Garcia)
06. Les Papillons (André Popp / Pierre Cour)
07. Casatschok (Boris Rubaschkin)
08. The Impossible Dream (Joe Darion / Mitch Leigh)
09. O Bolo (Pedro Sergio / R. Gerardi)
10. Et Maintenant (Gilbert Bécaud / Pierre Delanoé)
11. Flor da Ilusão (Mauro Rosas / R. Gerardi)
12. Mustang Cor de Sangue (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sérgio Valle)

SOMBELSOM

Créditos: Pedro & 300discos

RELEASE DATE by Andreas Dünnewald:
As far as I know, Hot’s subsidiary Riosom issued only from 1968 to 1969. André Popp’s Les Papillons is from 1968, hence, this album must have been published that year.

Ernani e Seu Conjunto - Momentos Dancantes (1959)

Odeon MOFB 3072

Similarly to the previous post, here we meet for the first time another "one recording only" piano player: Ernâni Turini, with his Momentos Dançantes released for Odeon back in 1959.

If you want to ask me anything about Ernâni Turini, I will redirect you to the back cover of this album where you can see him and the other three members of his conjunto on a photograph, but the text written by Zal Junior (or similar) is unfortunately mostly unreadable due to the bad condition of the cover, far beyond any restoration skills of Pedro or anybody else, up to the extent that I just hope that I have guessed the name of the author correctly.

In short: If you can read it, than you know more than I do.

What I know for sure are the names of the musicians:

Ernâni Turini (Piano)
Oliveira (Sax tenor)
Jacy (Contrabaixo)
Joãozinho (Bateria)

Also I am able to provide the track & composer listing:

01. Cha Cha Baby (Louis Rico)
02. Lover (Richard Rodgers / Lorenz Hart)
03. Rabisco (Ernâni Turini)
04. Tequila (Chuck Rio)

Piano player Léo Jordan, including his alter egos, for the very first time in this parallel reality with his only (listed) recording, a career album in fact, recorded in 1962.

No additional information on the back cover this time, except for the usual promotional list of albums released by Som, so anything anyone might know about Léo Jordan would be highly appreciated and added to this post.

Although no proof of it, I strongly believe that there is a connection between Léo Jordan and Steve Bernard apart from the fact that Joab Teixeira is present also here, together with his choir, featuring, among others, also Carminha Mascarenhas.

Here is the complete list of instrumentalists and singes:

The other promised album by Steve Bernard out of the current package.

Instead of writing about this release, I will just point to the back cover text written by J. Cascata, as a text is worth more than a thousand words.

The list of musicians reveals which instrument is played by whom, but opens a new dilemma: Is Silvio Viana actually Sylvio Vianna?

Não posso deixar de ressaltar, que fiquei emocionado com a capa do mesmo, ao ver a foto da belíssima e talentosa atriz Irma Alvarez (já falecida), argentina de nascimento, mas brasileira de coração. Como ela era linda, no seu tempo de modelo e vedete, nos espetáculos do teatro de revista. Posteriormente, revelou-se uma atriz extraordinária e premiada, pelo seu desempenho no filme Porto das Caixas (1962) de Paulo César Saraceni, também, foi artista plástica nos seus últimos anos de vida, além, de ter sido sempre, uma mulher sensível, gentil, bem educada, enfim, um ser humano da melhor qualidade.

Steve Bernard e Seu Conjunto - Soiree Intima (1957)

Odeon MOCB 3009

Incredible that Steve Bernard's career albums had (as far as I know) never been made available on net, untill recently Pedro & 300discos had the good idea to start sending them to us all.
The newest package, just rolling in as I write, contains even two, both released in 1957.

Here is the first one, quite self explaining by the front cover picture, additionaly stressed by the text Para Dançar, yet the back cover features a text by José Fernandes giving a review about the music in general and adds a few words about each track presented on this release.

No doubt: Suitable for an intimate party, or simply sophisticated hedonistic listening pleasure:

01. Concerto D'autunno (Camillo Bargoni / Danpa)
02. Atômico (Ray Fortuny)
03. Kalahuama (Humberto Teixeira)

Clearly, the airline company Varig was the sponsor of this promotional release introducing their, to the fleet newly added DC-10, as indeed you will find photographs of the plane also on the back cover alongside the usual, towards the Brazil bound tourists aimed, pictures.
Fortunately the (Spanish) text on the back cover not only mentions Tamba Trio, but gives a text about each of all three members: Hélcio Milito, Luis Eça and Bebeto, event printing their complete names: Hélcio Paschoal Milito, Luis Mainzil da Cunha de Eça and Adalberto José de Castillo e Souza (Bebeto).

Conjunto Farroupilha e Trio Nago - Cancoes Populares do Norte E Sul (N/D)

Rádio 0091-GV

A compilation album of songs by the Conjunto Farroupilhas and
Trio Nagô, where each vocal group has it's side on this LP released by Rádio at a date which I could only guess.

While Conjunto Farroupilhas has been featured lately in this parallel reality, Trio Nagô has, apart from one song on the 20 Anos da Nacional (1956) posted in another reality about 3 years ago, their first appearance today.

There is not much that I know about Trio Nagô except that they consist of Mário, Evaldo and Epaminondas and that they have released at least 5 career albums in the period from 1956 to 1959 + 5 compactos / EPs and around 30 78 rpms, starting from 1953.

The compositions selected in accordance with the title of this compilation are:

Lado A:

Aloisio e Seus Teclados - Bon Voyage - Cantam: Nelson Figueiredo e Odyssea (1960)

Copacabana CLP 11137

The unknown cantoras da noite trend is, luckily, continuing:

A surprise package sent by Edson Mendes arrived this morning in my mailbox: Aloísio Figueiredo's Bon Voyage, together with an accompanying text:

"This record has a special interest for me (besides the musical part), because the night club Bon Voyage was near from my old home and it is a beautiful building, projected by the Brazilian internationally known architect Oscar Niemeyer. It still exists, but now is not a night club anymore."

More about Bon Voyage, Aloísio, this album as well as about Oscar Niemeyer, you may read on the back cover text.

More about Nelson Figueiredo is the fact that he is Aloísio's brother and singing on two compositions.

More about singer Odysséa, except for the fact that she is a new singer featured on two tracks, you will not find in the text, neither, as far as I know, anywhere else.

On the other hand, you may hear her singing on two tracks on this fantastic album, consisting of these compositions:

01. Sweetly (Docemente) (Hervé Cordovil / René Cordovil)
02. Ódio (Aloísio Figueiredo / Nelson Figueiredo) com Odysséa 
03. The Dream Of Olwen (C. Williams)
04. Tá Compreendido (Aloísio Figueiredo / Nelson Figueiredo) com Nelson Figueiredo
05. Moonglow (Irving Mills / Will Hudson / Eddie de Lange)
06. Agora É Cinza (Alcebíades Barcelos "Bide" / Armando "Marçal")
07. A Felicidade (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
08. Homem Moderno (Aloísio Figueiredo / Nelson Figueiredo) com Nelson Figueiredo
09. E A Chuva Parou (Ribamar / Esdras Pereira da Silva / Victor Freire)

The G/9 Group - Brazil Now (1968)

Sonorama L-06 (2005)

The promised album by The G/9 Group has just arrived from Moscow, so after the discussion about if it is the same Valéria, who is singing on Steve Bernard's Top Hit Party the one singing here, I have finally had the chance to compare.

Honestly speaking, just by listening I can neither claim that it is the same Valéria, nor that it is another singer with a similar name.
From 1960 to 1968 the Zeitgeist has deeply changed and the change affected all musical aspect including ways of singing, not to mention ageing ladies' voices.

Anyway, here is a recording strongly representing the spirit of '68, created by:

Arranged By – Maestro Pachequinho
 
Vocals – Edgardo, Joab, Valéria, Zezé
Double Bass – Sergio
Drums – Wilson  das Neves
Guitar – Neco
Mastered By – Jury Lutz
Percussion – Pedro
Piano – Dom Salvador

Producer – Henrique Gandelman
Producer (Assistant) – Clovis Mello

Containing these compositions:

01. P'ra Que Chorar (I'll Take A Chance) (Baden Powell / N. Gimbel / Vinicius De Moraes)
02. Vesti Azul (Nonato Buzar)
03. Ponteio (Edu Lobo / Capinam)
04. Sambou...Sambou (Alphabet) (João Donato / João Melo / N. Gimbel)
05. Este Seu Olhar (That Look You Wear) (A. C. Jobim / Gene Lees)
06. Viola Enluarada (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
07. Lady Madonna (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
08. Deixa (Let Me) (Baden Powell / N. Gimbel / Vinicius De Moraes)
09. Alegria, Alegria (Caetano Veloso)
10. Retrato Em Branco E Preto (A. C. Jobim / Chico Buarque De Hollanda)
