SYLVIA TELLES, LÚCIO ALVES, ROBERTO MENESCAL E SEU CONJUNTO - Bossa Session (1964-1998) Mp3

This 1964 mono release is a lovely snapshot of the latter-day bossa nova market in Brazil. Sylvia Telles and Lucio Alves had been popular for several years and still had great voices. Roberto Menescal and his band provide a younger-sounding instrumental muscle.
There are three Jobim originals and the rest from other upcoming Brazilian songwriters. Released on the legendary Elenco label. Produced by Aloysio de Oliveira. by Fran Coombs

ROSINHA DE VALENÇA - Apresentando Rosinha de Valença (1964) MONO / lp / Mp3

Rosinha de Valença was at her peak during the '60s when she was performing at the Bottle's nightclub in Rio (one of the focal points of bossa nova). In that decade, she was celebrated by important artists like Baden Powell, Maria Bethânia, Aloysio de Oliveira (who invited her to record her first album), Sérgio Mendes (with whom she and his band, Brasil 65, performed during an eight-month American tour), Sivuca, Martinho da Vila, and others. She was forced to abandon her artistic career prematurely in 1992 due to brain damage caused by a heart attack. She left her hometown for Rio de Janeiro in 1963, sitting in several nightclubs until she became acquainted with de Oliveira, who at the time owned the Elenco recording company. At his invitation, Valença recorded her debut album, Apresentando Rosinha de Valença, which was followed by a very successful eight-month season at the Bottle's nightclub, at the Beco das Garrafas. The popularity she achieved in that period yielded her several invitations for participation in TV and radio shows, ultimately bringing her to the stage at the historic show O Fino da Bossa (the first bossa nova show in the city of São Paulo), at the Paramount Theater. She left for her eight-month tour through the U.S. that same year, accompanying Sérgio Mendes and Brasil 65. During that tour, she participated in the recording of two live albums: Brasil '65 -- Wanda de Sah Featuring the Sergio Mendes Trio and In Person at El Matador -- Sergio Mendes & Brasil '65. In late 1965, she toured Europe, performing in 24 countries under the auspices of the Brazilian diplomatic service. In 1968, she departed for a long international season in which she performed in several countries of Africa, Europe, and Middle East, returning to Brazil in 1971. After intense activity that comprised more tours abroad, she formed a band in Brazil which counted on João Donato, Miúcha, Ivone Lara, and Copinha. Along with her nine albums released in Brazil, Valença also recorded others in Europe and the U.S. by Alvaro Neder

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.

1 - Deve ser amor
2 - Coisa nº 1

Love, Strings & Jobim / The Eloquence Of Antônio Carlos Jobim [1966] FLAC

Post of a unusual album recorded in 1966 by Elenco with the original title as “Antonio Carlos Jobim Apresenta” and reissued in 1975 as “Love, Strings and Jobim | The Eloquence of Antonio Carlos Jobim”, a lust and cheat title with Antonio Carlos Jobim holding his violao at the beach.

 I said cheat title? Sure! Let’s know why!

This is Eumir Deodato & Lindolpho Gaya – Love, Strings and Jobim | The Eloquence of Antonio Carlos Jobim (1966), for Elenco, featuring a constellation of Brazilian musicians with a single and important exception, which is Antonio Carlos Jobim that did not take part of this recording session. I’ve been wondering how many friends took this album as Antonio Carlos Jobim career record across four decades. Aloysio de Oliveira and Ray Gilbert’s idea was to introduce new artists to the American audience through Antonio Carlos Jobim popularity in US. Maestro Lindolpho Gaya and Eumir Deodato were invited to write the arrangements and to be credited as main performers, which is something that never happened...
