VINICIUS DE MORAES / ODETTE LARA - Vinicius & Odette Lara (1963-2004) RM / Mp3

The poet/performer Vinicius de Moraes and the vocalist Odette Lara make a wonderful team, and though their voices aren't heard together as much as they should be here, Vinicius & Odette Lara is a warm, inviting collection. The dozen songs are all originals -- by de Moraes and old friend Baden Powell, who also appears as a musician -- and usually present Lara and de Moraes trading lines, or Lara taking the verses while de Moraes handles choruses. The breathtaking "Samba Preludio" is one of the few actual duets; after a preface featuring a mournful de Moraes over a sawing cello, Lara sings a few lines alone as well before the pair's voices intertwine (even while they sing different lines). Moacyr Santos' arrangements range from Brazilian bossa to string orchestra pop to anthemic soul-jazz, with plenty of trumpet and flute as well as a warm cocktail piano and the usual sewing machine bossa percussion. On "Deve se Amor," playful reeds and high-note trumpet accent a smooth, powerful vocal by Lara. It's a bit disconcerting to hear a Brazilian vocal album without recognizing at least one standard, but Vinicius & Odette Lara is a challenging, entertaining work of jazzy Brazilian pop. by John Bush 

Era outro século, outro mundo. Em 1963, um poeta e uma atriz podian inaugurar um selo (Olha que responsabilidade) cantando uma parceria estreante, con arranjos de um desconhecido, e fazer desse disco um clássico. Acontece  que eles eram Vinicius e Odete Lara, veteranos de mil noites musicais.
A nova parceria era Baden e Vinicius, con canções como Deixa, Astronauta e Berimbau. O arranjador era Moacir Santos. E o selo era a Elenco. Hoje sabemos: era uma covardia. ~ Ruy Castro

BADEN POWELL | JIMMY PRATT – Baden Powell Swings With Jimmy Pratt (1963-1994) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

This is one of the greatest Baden Powell LPs of the 60’s, Baden Powell Swings with Jimmy Pratt. This is a short set with less than 30 minutes, with the accompaniment of Copinha (flute), Moacir Santos (sax and vocals), Sandoval (clarinet), Sergio Barroso (bass), Jimmy Pratt (drums) and Rubens Bassini (percussion). The piano player is not credit.
The arrangements are unusual for a Baden album, featuring a lot of flute and oboe lines on all tracks. The outcome is a breezy Jazz album mixed with Bossa.
Excelente disco. Destaque pras interpretações das "Coisas" do Moacir Santos.
