Sylvio Vianna E Seu Conjunto de Dancas No 2 (1958)

Copacabana CLP 10008

The first album to be posted out of the freshly arrived package sent by Pedro & 300discos is, as you would have guessed if you had an insight of the complete package content, Sylvio Vianna's para dançar masterpiece from 1958.

A curiosity:  Despite the fact that the singer is photographed and dissplayed on the front cover, her name is nowhere to be read, neither on the covers nor on the labels.

Same goes for the other musicians.

Don't let this minor flaw distract you from enjoying:

01. Calypso (High Society) (Cole Porter)
02. Boa Terra (Vicente Paiva / Sá Róris) com  Rosângela
03. Frenesi (Alberto Dominguez)
04. Frasquita (Franz Lehar)
05. Juntinhos (Sylvio Vianna)
06. Usignuolo (Gino Castellani / Carletto Concina / Luigi Martelli)
07. Flor de Lys (Agustín Lara)
08. Música (Sylvio Vianna) com  Rosângela
09. Vereda Tropical (Gonzalo Curiel) com  Rosângela
10. Nós Dois (Vicente Paiva / Fernando Martins)
11. Formosinho (Plinio Carlos dos Santos)

Roberto Rutz - Licao de Ritmo (N/D)

Damic LPM 5044

If I would say that I know anything about Roberto Rutz, then I am sure that I would be immediately identified as a liar.
But I can safely add to the confusion by mentioning the fact that Memoria Musical lists under Roberto Rutz only one album with 12 tracks, also called Órgão e Ritmo (Damic LPM 5042).
The similarity is that both albums have no known release date. On the other hand the track lists are completely different.

For example, these compositions are not featured on the LPM 5042:

1. Pergunte Ao João (Swing / Helena Silva)
    Cadé o Pandeiro (Roberto Martins / Wilfrido Silva) 
    Se Quiser Pode Ir (José Batista / João da Silva / Arthur Montenegro)
Com Luiz Bandeira e Côro

4. Pourquoi? (Essa Nêga sem Sandália) (Caco Velho / Jadir de Castro)
    Deixa Amanhecer (Jamelão Carrapinho / Rossini)
    Tamborim (Carlos Barroso / Humberto Teixeira)
Com Luiz Bandeira e Côro

3. Menino Desce Daí (Paulinho Nogueira)
Com Sandra e Côro

4. Corcovado (A. C. Jobim)

5. Arrivederci Roma (Rascel / Giovannini / Garinel / C. Sigman)

6. Almost like being in love (F. Lewe / Lerner)

7. Silbando Mambo (Perez Prado)

8. Chiclete com Banana (Gordurinha - Almira Castilho)

Tony Vestane - Romance e Balanco (1963)

EP Musidisc LPM 12014

Looks like Toni Vestane (or Tony Vestane, as his name is written on the cover) has more up his sleeve than expected:

Like this unlisted EP, just received from Edson Mendes, containing, besides the standard four tracks, also a bonus one, included by Edsom from Ribamar & Zitto Righi's 1962 LP by Musidisc.

That album by Ribamar and Zito is an all time favorite at my place, but I never checked who exactly is singing on Ai de mim...

On this EP there is no dilemma who is singing these compositions:

01. Depois do carnaval (Paulo Silvino / Wilson Tirapelli) 
02. Deixa a nega gingar (Luiz Claudio) 
03. Toma lá, dá cá (Toni Vestane) 
04. Nós e o mar (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli) 

05. Ai de mim (bonus track) (Capiba)

UNEXPECTED APPEARANCE OF THE EP

Créditos: Edson Mendes

JUST FOR THE RECORDS by Brazilliance:
This recording of "Toma Lá Dá Cá" was first issued in 1961 as track # 10 on Zito Righi's album "O Sax de Ouro" which also featured guest vocals by Francineth, Silvio Cézar and Pedrinho Rodrigues.

It's a pity that Toni Vestane engaged himself more in producing other artists music than making a few more records of his own.

Famous piano player Carolina Cardoso de Menezes was featured in this parallel reality with only two compositions on two various artists albums. The main reason for it was that my collection of her music has been downloaded from other blogs.

Anyway, here she is finally with a career album, her twelfth from altogether (at least) seventeen.

On this album, produced by Maestro Lindolfo Gaya, she is interpreting music from all over the world in her specific way:

The other (first) career album by sax player and composer Luiz Americano (with regional) completes his discography consisting (as far as I know) of two Lp records.

Worth mentioning is, by the way, Elmo Barros' long and informative text about Luiz on the back cover.

Worth mentioning is also that Luiz Americano's second career album has been posted more than a year ago in this parallel reality and the link still works.

So do the following compositions:

01. Lágrimas de Virgem (Luiz Americano)

George Kenny - Uma Noite No Beguin (1956)

About George Kenny presented now for the first time on Parallel Realities I can tell you only a few facts:

1. George Kenny plays organ
2. He was an Argentinian who settled down in Brazil.
3. He had a steady job playing in the Boite Beguin.
4. This 10' Lp is his first career album out of altogether two, the other, also released in 1956 as a 10', named Boas Festas.

Also an impression by Carlos Machado, found on the back cover:

"George Kenny é nos dias presentes considerado um dos maiores organistas do mundo."

One of the best, or not one of the best, that is now the question and you may answer it to yourself, of course after listening to:

1. Holiday For Strings (David Rose)
2. Guacira (Hekel Tavares / Joracy Camargo)
3. Laura (David Raksin / Johnny Mercer)
4. Apanhei-te Cavaquinho (Ernesto Nazareth)
5. Andalucia (Ernesto Lecuona)

Copacabana CLP 11065

I must confess that Abel Ferreira's first album Acariciando is an absolute hit at my place since I received it from Pedro & 300discos and burnt it to disc. Checking once more his discography and my collection I realized that I am missing his second career album Jantar Dançante No 1 and looked up if I can find it somewhere on the net, only to realize that Augusto TM has posted it on his legendary Toque, which he has unfortunately closed in the meantime, which mens that somebody who is visiting Parallel Realities must have downloaded it from Toque and have it in his collection.
So I added it to my Santa Claus list.
One minute later, I checked my mail and found the newest package sent by Pedro & 300discos. and found it there.

Coincidence or more than that?

Eugenio e Seu Quarteto - O Sucesso e Outras Bossas (1966)

Odeon MOFB 3481

The appearance of to me completely unknown musicians with only one recording continues with today's premiere of piano player Eugênio Oscar Galende performing international standards accompanied by a conjunto.

Only three of the musicians are mentioned by name on on the back cover.

Eugênio Oscar Galende (Piano)
Tião Marinho (Contrabaixo)
Reisinho (Bateria)

As the great Tião Marinho has been noticed playing Contrabaixo on a large number of recordings, I just checked if he has, maybe, recorded something like a solo album but in vain. The nearest that he got to that goal has been a membership in the Chorinhos da Pessada on their only album, already published on Parallel Realities.

Now relax and enjoy:

01. The Shadow Of Your Smile (Johnny Mandel / Paul Francis Webster)
02. All My Loving (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
03. La Playa (J. V. Wetter)
04. Somehow It Got To Be Tomorrow (Today) (Estelle Levitt / Kenny Karen)
05. Love Letters (Victor Young / Edward Heyman)
06. A Hard Day's Night (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
07. Il Mondo (Jimmy Fontana / Carlo Pes / Gianni Meccia)
08. The More I See You (Harry Warren / Mack Gordon)
09. And I Love Her (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
10. Girl (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
11. I'm Happy Just To Dance With You (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)

Conjunto Ritmos Ok - Ritmos Ok (1962)

Copacabana CLP 11267

Conjunto Ritmos Ok presented for the first time on Parallel Realities is, as far as I could find out, probably also the last time on Parallel Realities, as this seems to be their only recording.

As you might have guessed, I have never before heard of them, neither anything played by them, so, as not to be caught in blunt ignorance again, I'd rather point to the linear notes written by José Augusto Machado, which, unfortunately could not have been completely reconstructed on the back cover which was partially damaged.

The band consists of:

Walter Arid (Vibrafone, Piano, Arranjos)
Venceslau (Acordeom)
Ditinho (Ritmo)
Maurício (Sax baritono e alto)
Aurélio (Sax tenor)
Augusto (Bateria, Timbales)
Criso (Piston)
Tião (Contrabaixo)
Waldir Mussi e Jairo Martins (Crooner e Ritmo)
Luis (Guitarra)

Performing:

01. The Man With The Golden Arm (Elmer Bernstein / Sylvia Fine)
02. Peixinho (Vica / Francisco Basílio) com Waldir Mussi
03. Amor de Reveillon (Vica / Walter Arid) com Waldir Mussi
04. Dans Mon Île (Henri Salvador)
05. O Samba Brasileiro (Claribalte Passos)
06. Las Secretarias (Pepe Luis) com Jairo Martins
07. The Twist (Hank Ballard)
08. Mambo Inn (Bauza / Sampson / Woodeen)
09. Sambaião (Célio Moreira)
10. Menino Desce Daí (Paulinho Nogueira)
11. Nicolasa (Ernesto R. Duarte Brito)
12. Canção Para Um Homem no Espaço (Nilo Sérgio)

OK? OK!

DAS IST WALTER by Frank-Oliver:
Walter Arid was also the head of Conjunto OK (OK! Samba, RGE 1964) and Som Okey Five (RGE 1969)

P.S. I just received a reconstructed cover with completely legible back cover text from Edson Mendes,  so I added it to the zip and re-uploaded it

REVIEW by Francisco Miranda:
Hoje, não tenho conhecimento se Walter Arid ainda é vivo e atuante.
Meu primeiro contato com o conjuto foi no final de 64, quando trabalhava em rádio e até jocoso, pois, ao recebermos o long-playing, um colega disse: Conjunto 0Kilometro !!!! Não o conheciamos, até então.
Mas, sobre o artista, levantei que, no final dos anos 80, Arid contava com três elepês gravados e apresentações em bailes e casas noturnas. Embora não tivesse formação acadêmica, executava piano, vibrafone, órgão e acordeom. Mostrava seu trabalho na noite, tocando, basicamente, música popular brasileira, sua predileção. Arid já havia, antes, abandonado a música, nos idos de 69, por não aceitar a invasão da música estrangeira.
Sobre os discos e em adendo ao post de Frank, eu teria a comentar que:
– O primeiro disco seria o que está neste blog, ou seja CONJUNTO RÍTMOS OK – RÍTMOS OK pela gravadora Copacabana – LP CLP 11267 de 1962.
– O segundo, foi CONJUNTO OK – OK! SAMBA! pela gravadora RGE – LP XRLP – 5259 de 1964; (da contra-capa, extrai-se que ‘… O gosto pelo “jazz” fez com que se reunissem os rapazes que formam o Conjunto OK…. O conjunto já conta com dois anos de amplas atividades artísticas e seu nome consta na lista dos melhores do gênero. Oriundo de Taubaté, no Vale do Paraíba, SP, o conjunto é formado em sua maioria por músicos daquela cidade….’
No meu pobre entender, talvez pelo saudosismo da época, esse seria o melhor LP.
– O terceiro, foi SOM OKEY 5 – SOM OKEY 5 pela gravadora RGE – LP XRLP 5335 de 1969 que teve relançamentos em CD em 2010 pela Som Livre Masters (no Brasil) e pela Ward Records (no Japão). Me parece ter sido o disco de maior sucesso do grupo. O Som Okey 5 foi a ‘evolução’ dos Conjuntos “OK.

Leoncio - Da-me Tuas Mao

Musicolor MLP-9.088

Piston player Leoncio Mendes is a musician who was completely unknown to me until I fished his Lp out of the current package sent to us by Pedro & 300discos, read the track list on the back cover, noticed all four advertisements for other releases by MusiColor and found the following sensational facts:

1. Leoncio Mendes plays piston and is accompanied by orchestra
2. The compositions performed are classified as Boleros
3. Artistic direction is by Diogo Mulero (Palmeira)

I must also confess that all net searches failed miserably

Luckily, listening to the compositions was helpful:

Orquestra Moderna de Camara - Brasil Bossa Nova (N/D)

Nilser NS 1006

Orquestra Moderna de Camara has been posted somewhere on the net before, as I remember seeing this cover, but can not remember when and where.
Anyway, as far as I know, this is their only album and they have also released a compacto duplo.
Their premiere on Parallel Realities is, as you could guess, accompanied with no fact or relevant information at all.

The linear notes by Sebastião Fonseca, explain a lot about Bossa Nova and inform us that Luiz Bonfá, Tom and Vinicius, Dolores Duran and others, are principle Bossa artists, but (probably because of my poor understanding of Portuguese) I found nothing about the Orquestra Moderna de Camara.

On the other hand, ten medleys speak more than ten thousand Dollars:

01. Solução (Raul Sampaio / Ivo Santos)

MORE ABOUT ORQUESTRA MODERNA DE CAMARA by Fausto Neves:
This disc is the only one of this orchestra, which in fact is not a “modern camera orchestra”
The truth is that it is a group of "bossa nova" music, with the addition of string instruments.
And with very good Brazilian musicians.

The linear notes by Sebastião Fonseca does not explain much and there is
much more text on the technical quality of the recording


Artistic direction - Radames Gnattali

Radames Gnattali - piano
José Menezes - guitar;
Chiquinho - accordion;
Pedro Vidal Ramos - bass;
Luciano Perrone - percussion;
Irani Pinto - 1st violin;
Copinha - flute and piccolo;
Marcello Pompeu Filho - 2nd violin;
Iberê Gomes Grosso - cello.;

The incredible thing is that neither on the Radamés Gnattali site nor on Ricardo Cravo Albin Dictionary of Brazilian Popular Music, this record does not appear as a work of  Radamés Gnattali.
Listening to it, there is no doubt that this is another magnificent work of that master.

Steve Bernard e Seu Conjunto - Aqui - Compacto Duplo

Odeon EP-20231

Some time ago I was contacted by Steve Bernard's daughter Sandra Bernhardt, who was pleased to find here the posts about her father and promised to send me the recordings I did not have. Also she was so kind to write a text about her father, clearing some misinformation about him which were also published at the usual hub for distorted facts: Parallel Realities.

Here is Sandra's integral text covering the so far undisclosed parts of Steve Bernard's life and history:


Steve Bernard was born in​ Brasov,​ Romenia (Roumania)​.
He was a Jew but before getting married to my mother, Eva, he converted to Christianity (Catholic). They got married on Dec, 19, 1954 in a Catholic church named Nossa Senhora da Paz, in Ipanema, Rio de ​Janeiro​, Brazil​.

Eva, was a very famous and gracious dancer, known as Eva Lanthos. She was born in Budapest, Hungary​​.

As far as I know​, he began to play classical music very early, in Brasov, Roumania (not in Vienna).
At the age of 18, he was awarded in several Competitions in Vienna,  played piano in cinemas and with some singers like, Lilly Fayol, Gina Liano and Arthur Allam. A few years later he had his Band with presentations in Bucharest, Roumania. 
Moved to Paris to study at Sorbonne (Philosophy and Music), made tours in England and Canada before coming to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1952, after Paul Péri's invitation.​

Paul Péri, was a famous French actor / singer.  He invited Steve to play at the Golden Room, Copacabana Palace Hotel in Rio in 1952.  Some days later Mauricio Lanthos and Waldir Calmon invited him to play the Hammond B3 Organ, recently bought, at Arpège (nobody knew how to manage the Organ, just Steve!)  He needed to live in a tropical city in order to feel better from his constant pains (MD recommendation) and decided to live in Rio. 

The next step was the his first record - Steve Bernard e sua Arte -  produced by Sinter in 1954 and the second one in 1955., formed his band and .... you have all information about him after that...

Tracks:

1. To The End of The Earth (Joe Sherman / Noel Sherman)
2. Sonoroso (K.Ximbinho / Del Loro)
3. Suas Mãos (Ayres da Costa Pessoa "Pernambuco" / Antônio Maria)
4. A Certain Smile (Paul Francis Webster / Sammy Fain)

The bad news is that his other album Quando A Noite Acontece (1963), posted less than two years ago you may only admire by looking at the front cover, as the file containing his music has been deleted from server and I added the horrifying DOWNLOAD YESTERDAY advice next to the text previously leading to Depositfiles.

But you can enjoy this one consisting of:

01. Sadismo (Ciloca Madeira)
02. Não Quero Mais (Walter Santos / Luiz Carlos Paraná)
03. Babá Granfina (Djalma de Carvalho / Francisco Tavares)
04. Valentão (José Henrique / Gildo Souza)
05. Dois Chapéus (Victor Rafael / Fred Jorge)
06. Palavras (Jean Kelson / Paulo Paes)
07. Balançou (Nilton Moreira)
08. Pingo no Samba (Ely Silva / Meneguim Júnior)
09. Primavera de Amor (Aloísio Figueiredo / Édson Pereira Leite)
10. Foi Ela (Aloísio Figueiredo / Édson Pereira Leite)
11. Sou Mais Eu (Zé da Conceição / Waldir Santos)
12. Chorou (Djalma de Carvalho / Cacau)

Mario de Azevedo - Subindo Ao Ceu (1960)

Sinter SLP 1789

The great piano player Mário de Azevedo has released an uncountable number of 78 Rpm recordings starting from 1943 and at least 8 Lps, yet today is the first time he is appearing on Parallel Realities with his last career album released in 1960 by Sinter.

A poetic text on the back cover by Fernando Lôbo explains more about his music, and the track list shows some great composers (just google Viúva Guerreiro and see when her compositions were composed).

Cool down from yesterday's Pixinguinha heat with delicate sounds of Mário's solo piano interpreting:

01. Subindo Ao Céu (Aristides Manuel Borges)
02. Quando Penso Em Ti (Viúva Guerreiro)
03. Saudade (Graça Guardia)
04. Supremo Mestre (Viúva Guerreiro)
05. Folhas ao Vento (Milton Amaral)
06. Flutuando (Aurélio Cavalcanti)
07. Rosa (Pixinguinha)
08. Só Tu Não Sentes (J. F. Fonseca Costa "costinha")
09. Cascata de Lágrimas (Moacir Braga)
10. Nas Asas De Um Sonho (Carlos T. De Carvalho)
11. Ao Cair da Tarde (Pelagio Valentim)
12. Quanto Dói Uma Saudade (Mariana da Silveira)

SUPREMO MESTRE
