ABOUT NORBERTO MACEDO by Nilton Maia:
The guitarist Norberto Macedo was my guitar teacher during many years and my friend since 1965. He was a great musician, besides very good composer and teacher. Unfortunately he died four years ago (in august 27, 2011).
He had three LPs, three CD’s and one K7 launched, all of them of high quality, besides a guitar method published. One of the LPs was dedicated to Villa-Lobos’s guitar music and was considered one of the best interpretations of this music by whom that had the pleasure to listen it, including some music critics. So, your post can be considered a tribute to Norberto.
If you want to know a little more about Norberto access this blog, please:
http://www.geocities.ws/norbertomacedo/pindex.html
He also can be watched in Youtube by this link, playing a “choro” composed for his son Leonardo, when he was a child. In this vídeo Norberto makes a tribute to Leonardo’s memory because he died some years before the video, at the age of 32.

Quincas e Os Copacabanas - Das 11 As 4 (1959)
Tenor sax player Al Quincas with and without Os Copacabana can be found in this and the other reality, but the Lp I have the chance to present now, I can not remember having even seen anywhere before.
In the linear notes written by Lucio Rangel you may read all you wanted to know about Coleman Hawkins but were afraid to ask and he even adds a few lines about Al Quincas and this album, so I suggest (as usual in such cases) to read it.
Anyway, para dançar is my choice of instrumental music, unfortunately almost impossible to find performed nowadays, so I suggest (as usual in such cases) to enjoy it preferably on the dance floor, but an easy chair and speakers will also do the job needed to enjoy:
01. O Apito no Samba (Luiz Bandeira / Luis Antônio)
02. Rico Vacilon (Rosendo Ruiz)
03. Tenderly (Walter Gross / Jack Lawrence)
04. Vai Astor (Vadico)
05. Torero (Renato Carosone / Nisa)
06. Pigalle (G. Ulmer)

Musica Brasileira Vol 4 (1956 - 57)
A friend from Brazil, Fausto Neves has just sent me two rarities.
The first one, I am posting right now is the 4 Lp in the Música Brasileira series consisting of 10 ultra-rare volumes of which existence I was not aware before.
If someone has the other 9 volumes, I will be happy to post them here.
Here is the complete text written by Fausto:
The Música Brasileira series was the first and important collection (or anthology) of Brazilian classical music to vinyl records. A diplomatic initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Cultural Divisão do MRE-Ministério das Relações Exteriores do Brasil) in 1956 -1957.
The criteria was the priority for original works and lesser known composers. The art direction was by the Brazilian composer Claudio Santoro and the participation of Radio MEC.
The recording, only in the mono version, was made by the Sinter label (Sociedade Interamericana de Representações - Rio de Janeiro) that has opened a new studio in 1957.
Sinter has been a pioneer in the modernization of the Phonographic Industry in Brazil, the first to launch the LP record in Brazil (1951) and turned Brazil the fourth country to produce Lp, after the United States, England and France.
Unfortunately, the recordings of the Musica Brasileira series are poor quality ones and only the mono version which is not explained, because in the same year 1957 Sinter began recording in stereo.
The Sinter label was a property of CBD - Companhia Brasileira de Discos, also representative in Brazil for labels Verve, Decca and Westminster.
In 1958 CBD was purchased by Philips Phonographische Industry.
The recording of the Música Brasileira series Lps begans in 1956, finished in early 1957 and distributed in July.
The Brazilian Music series was never released commercially. These LPs were distributed by Brazilian embassies to radio stations, mainly in Europe. It was relegated to oblivion, maybe for the poor quality of the recordings, and has become a rarity
Volumes 2 and 3 are the most important because there are unique recordings of renowned Brazilian composers works.
The picture of covers is similar in each of the ten covers – a detail of a work of the Baroque sculptor Aleijadinho, (Antônio Francisco Lisboa (1738 – 1814), without any information about.
The National Library of France has digitized five volumes (4,5,6,8 and 10) in 2014. However the original LPs are really poor quality and the 5 others may not be available.
The works:
Sonata n. 3 I Alegro (1947-48) Claudio Santoro: - Hector Alimonda; piano
Sonata n. 3 II Lento (1947-48) Claudio Santoro: - Hector Alimonda; piano
Sonata n. 3 III Vivo (1947-48) Claudio Santoro: - Hector Alimonda; piano
Villa-Lobos:
Manduca Pia - Maria de Lourdes Lopes da Cruz and José Vieira Brandão; piano
Nha Pope - Maria de Lourdes Lopes da Cruz and José Vieira Brandão; piano
Prequetê (1938) - Vieira Brandão and Cassiano Ricardo: / Maria de Lourdes Lopes da Cruz and José Vieira Brandão; piano
“Só” (or Song Alone) - Vieira Brandão and Guilherme de Almeida / Maria de Lourdes Lopes da Cruz and José Vieira Brandão ; piano
Trova (1954) - Vieira Brandão (1911 - 2002) and Gabriel de Lucena: / Maria de Lourdes Lopes da Cruz and J. Vieira Brandão; piano

Conjunto de Percussao Dora Pinto (1960)
Last Saturday evening, a friend told me that he had a conversation about music over the net with a lady from another country (I can't remember which) where he recommended her to visit Parallel Realities and take a look.
Her comment after doing it was that, apart from ladies singing, she could not find any female musicians performing on any album she found while visiting my site.
Just men and only men...
The same evening, a few hours later, the package from Pedro & 300discos arrived.
After unpacking I found this album and could not believe my eyes:
At first sight looking on the front cover, a assumed that it is a female instrumental percussion trio.
After a detailed inspection I realized that it is not a trio, but that (if I counted correctly) there are twenty ladies, arranging, playing various instruments and singing:
General management, arrangements and notes by Dora Pinto
Special guest singer: Lourdinha Brasil
Pianists: Ilka Valle, Luiza Ceccareilli
Soloists: Marilia Oliveira, Marilza Carvalho, Yvonne Maia Forte
The group: Alaida Witte, Ayrsa Prochownick, Celeste Arcias, Daisy Pinto, Dulce Plinio, Ely Airam, Heloisa Rabello, Inge Muller, Lin Della Nina, Liliana Soares de Paula, Regina Sampaio, Ruth Loureiro, Smary Tavares da Silva
The story about Dora Pinto is highly interesting and is presented in the linear notes both in Portuguese and English on the inside cover of this only (?) recording that Conjunto de Percussão Dora Pinto has released and I suggest reading it.
The compositions:
01. Noite de Temporal (Dorival Caymmi)
02. Hei de Seguir Teus Passos (Waldemar Henrique)
03. Malagueña (Ernesto Lecuona)
04. Obaluaiê (Abigail Moura)

Abel Ferreira - Acariciando (1958)
(1978) RGE 307.4008
First career album of the famous clarinet player Abel Ferreira, recorded 1958 for Todamérica and reissued 1978 by RGE. Covers and labels from both editions are included in this package, so you may chose which one to use to decorate your compact disc jewel case, plus it gives you the opportunity to read both back cover texts about Abel Ferreira and this recording.
Altogether beautiful music, so far probably Abel's best (from my point of view), accented by his daughter Vânia Ferreira's specific voice on three tracks.
Vânia Ferreira can also be heard on another album by Abel Ferreira from 1977 called Abel Ferreira & Filhos, where she is singing Acariciando (which is here presented as an instrumental) and on another track, singing together with Leonardo Bruno.
No idea why Vânia Ferreira has not continued her singing career, but it is a pity.
I hope that you will enjoy these tracks as much as I enjoyed them after opening the newly arrived package sent to us by Pedro & 300discos.
The tracks:
01. Acariciando (Abel Ferreira / Lourival Faissal)
02. Luar de Caxambu (Abel Ferreira)
03. Orchids In The Moonlight (Vincent Youmans / Gus Kahn / Edward Eliscu)
04. Suspense (Alcyr Pires Vermelho / Wilson Falcão)

Os Versateis (1964)
Os Versáteis I have never heard before and I could not tell you much about them yesterday, but today i know that they consist of Ary Fontoura and Odelair Rodrigues as well as I know other facts about them and their art concept as in the meantime I read the back cover text written by Vinícius Coêlho, which you can also read and know much more than I know, especially if Portuguese is your native language.
Anyway, this recording consists of two different sides.
The first one is a short theatre play with dialogues which you will surely understand better than I did, with Odelair Rodrigues singing one song.
The other side is purely musical: Ary Fontoura is singing all six compositions:
Lado A - Com Ary Fontoura e Odelair Rodrigues:

ARY FONTOURA by Edson Mendes:
Ary Fontoura is a famous Brazilian actor, with many works in theatre, movies and TV (more than 40 soap operas). Wikipedia says that he reached to record this LP based on the experience he had achieved singing romantic songs, as boleros and samba-canções, in Curitiba's brothels. Curitiba is his native city.

After quick listening to several tracks, I burned this album immediately to CD and could not stop playing it over and over again.
Once again it happens: Playing pure para dançar relieves the musicians of the pressure to create art that will amaze the public and critics and get a place in music history (an attitude which so often leads to catastrophic results) and makes it possible to really create something outstanding.
Well Gallo and his conjunto have created a masterpiece here, pure beauty, elegance and excitement.
Impressive!

Armando e Seu Conjunto - Armando e Seu Solovox Maravilhoso (1964)
Although solovox player Armando has recorded at least five LPs and as many 78 rpms spanning the period from 1954 to 1971, I must confess that I have never before heard his playing before, nor read anything about him.
This does not mean that Armando de Souza Lima is unkown. It just means that my knowledge is limited and that I am notorious for often being caught in ignorance.
Actually Armando was declared at the time as King of Solovox if I understood the back cover text in Portuguese correctly and also the article I just read on the Blog do coronel Roberto.

Deo Rian - Saudades de Um Bandolim (1976)
Bandolim player Déo Rian has his premiere on Parallel Realities.
As there is a long text on the back cover by J. L. Ferrete about Déo and another, even longer, about him and the Quinteto Villa-Lobos and their members, who have a special participation on this release.
I will just mention that Déo Rian was a member of the Conjunto Época de Ouro at the time (1974) they have published their album called Conjunto Época de Ouro and that Saudades de Um Bandolim was produced by the great Dalton Vogeler, who also acted as composer on one track.
Of course I will also mention some facts that the writers of the texts could not possibly have known at the time they wrote their texts: Déo Rian has recorded altogether at least ten career albums (six of them after this one presented today) and participated in a special project called Noites Cariocas - 15 Anos Depois - A Alegria de Improviso (2003 - Kuarup KCD-182)

OS MUITOS NOMES DE RUBENS LEAL BRITO by Denis:
Alguns artistas mudam seu nome durante a carreira (casos de Jorge Benjor e Sandra de Sá). Outros usam um ao cantar e outro ao compor (como Jamelão, que assina as composições com seu nome de batismo, José Bispo). Mas o pianista gaúcho Rubens Leal Brito é um sério candidato a recordista de nomes artísticos simultâneos. Assinava com seu próprio nome suas composições, feitas entre 1938 e 1951, sozinho ou em parceria com Jorge Faraj. Como Britinho, além de gravar seus próprios discos com solo de piano - na Continental em 1956 e em LPs da Sinter em 1956 e 1957 -, acompanhava cantores, como na estréia em disco de João Gilberto (Copacabana, 1952). Também foi com este nome que gravou uma série de discos com outro pianista, Fats Elpídio (RCA, 1952-53). Assinou desta maneira algumas músicas, feitas entre 1952 e 1963 com os parceiros Fats Elpídio, Mesquita e Fernando César. Já era chamado Britinho em 1943, quando tocou na Rádio Farroupilha (Porto Alegre).
Após alguns recitais, foi contratado para integrar a Orquestra Panfar, da emissora. Dirigiu por um período o Jazz da PRH-2, enquanto seguia atuando como pianista.
Algumas das músicas gravadas pelo pianista Britinho em discos Todamérica de 1951 eram de autoria de... João Leal Brito. Este também era o parceiro de Fernando César em "Noite Chuvosa" (1960). Seria um irmão de Rubens? Talvez, embora em 1953, o crédito do choro "Vê se te Agrada", gravado por Gentil Guedes e sua Orquestra na Sinter, era para João Leal Brito "Britinho".
Assinando Leal Brito, gravou LPs na Musidisc (1955) e na Sinter (1956-57). Também teve músicas gravadas em 1955.
Teria havido outros nomes? É possível. Em abril de 1957, o radialista Almirante era convocado pela Justiça carioca para dar seu parecer como perito a respeito da ação da gravadora Rádio, que mantinha o pianista Waldir Calmon sob contrato e acusava a Musidisc de procurar iludir o consumidor, ao lançar o LP Para Dançar, gravado por Leal Brito com o pseudônimo de Pierre Kolman. Outra alegação se referia ao título do disco - Calmon tinha uma série de LPs com o nome de Feito para Dançar. Almirante concordou com a acusação. Talvez outro disco de "Kolman" tenha saído, pois o site do Dicionário Cravo Albim registra este pseudônimo, ao lado de outro - Franca Vila. Curiosamente, ali o nome de batismo de Britinho acabou sendo mencionado como "João Adelino Leal Brito"...
P.S: Em 2008, o blog Toque Musical disponibilizou para download o LP Dance com Musidisc - Vol. 1, de Pierre Kolmann, e a questão sobre sua real identidade voltou à tona, sendo discutida no espaço de comentário daquela postagem. Um usuário anônimo chegou a postar na íntegra esta minha nota, sem porém dar-me o crédito da autoria. Mas, o melhor de tudo, é que entre os comentaristas apareceu Vinicius Carvalho Veleda, que é ...um sobrinho-neto de Rubens Leal Brito! Sim! Vejam o que ele disse, em 2009:
Olá a todos, por incrível que pareça Rubens Leal Brito é meu tio-avô. Ele nasceu em Pelotas/RS, meu avô era Oscar Leal Veleda, eles eram irmãos apenas por parte de mãe, o "Britinho" do primeiro casamento, que no total são 4, e do segundo casamento meu avô que são mais 3, nome da minha bisavó era Chica Leal.(teve 7 filhos) João Leal Brito, era irmão do Britinho, porém mais novo, e foi levado para o Rio de Janeiro por influência de Britinho. Quem me contou isso, foi meu pai, Clóvis Veleda, que lembra muito bem do Britinho, segundo meu pai ele sempre vinha passar o carnaval aqui em Pelotas. Depois que meu pai me contou, pedi alguma coisa para ler sobre ele, e conseguiu algumas folhas, logo me interessei por conhecer sua obra. Quem souber mais coisa sobre Britinho e sua Orquestra, me interessaria muito. Abraços!
Ficou confirmado então, como eu supus, que João Leal Brito era um irmão de Rubens "Britinho", e não mais um pseudônimo. (F.G., 5.8.11)

REVIEW by Andreas Dünnewald:
What a surprise! Since Murmúrio is one of my favourite songs, this album caught my immediate attention, of course. However, it turned out more interesting as I expected because it includes some arrangements (or even backing tracks?) that were re-utilised from other artist’s recordings:
1. Murmúrio features the elegant arrangement by Severino Filho as issued on Elis Regina’s debut album Viva a Brotolândia (1961, Continental LPP 3161).
2. Não Tenho Você is identical with Ângela Maria’s version on the album of the same name (1961, Continental LPP 3179).
3. Quando a Chuva Chegar is identical with Ângela Maria’s version on the album Quando A Noite Vem – Ângela Maria, Uma Voz Para Milhões (1961, Continental LPP 3.144).
You may compare these three version on my website here and here.
4. Ninguém Chora Por Mim is identical with Carlos José’s version on his 1960 album Carlos José Canta Para Você (1960, Continental LPP 3130).
Thus, this album is one of those to feature arrangements from other artist’s recordings, at least partly as Dó-Ré-Mi-Fafá Lemos (1961) by Fafá Lemos, Show by Pernambuco, Segredo para Dois (1963) by Radamés Gnattali, or even completely like Sambas (1961) and Sambas Nº 2 (1963) by Don Júnior (Héctor Costita) as well as Na Cadência do Samba (1963) by Aurino and Jorginho.
So thanks for this collector’s item. Maybe some other readers can help to identify even more songs.

A Virgem de Saint Tropez - O.S.T (1974)
Fermata 303.1008
There were lots of soundtracks of various movies presented on Parallel Realities and they have one thing in common: I have not seen them.
The same goes also for A Virgem de Saint Tropez, which is unusual, as at that time (1974), I went into every cinema that was showing a movie with a poster displaying similar motives as this one.
The probable reason i missed it is that it was not distributed in former Yugoslavia.
Anyway, here are some facts about the movie:
A film by Sigmund Sulistrowski
Music by Hareton Salvanini and Beto Ruschel
Orchestra under the direction of Hareton Salvanini
Starring Annie Frietmann
The compositions:
01. You Can't Run Away From Your Destiny (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel / Z. Sulistrowski) Edu França
02. Espairecendo (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel)
04. São Paulo (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel)
05. Panorama (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel)
06. Amazonia (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel)
07. Saint Tropez (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel)
08. Quarto de Hotel (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel)
09. Copacabana Rock (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel)
10. Dois e O Mar (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel)
11. Persguição (Ayrton Salvanini)
12. Seios (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel)
13. Despedida (H. Salvaninin / B. Ruschel)
