Cipo e Seu Conjunto – Melodias Favoritas da Tela (1959)

Sinter SLP 1769

Not that this album has never before been presented on the net (it could be found on the, unfortunately closed, great site Um Que Tenha), but it is, for my taste, one of the most pleasant and cool albums by sax player and maestro Cipó who has already been prominently featured on Parallel Realities, with solo albums, compilations.and as backing band leader on albums by Sacha Rubin, who is playing piano on this masterpiece.

The complete list of musicians is:

Cipó (Saxofone alto)
Sacha Rubin (Piano)
Lumir Brov (Baixo)
Dom Um Romão (Bateria)
Jorge Arena (Bongô)

The evergreen jazz standards, masterfully performed, are:

01. Love Is A Many Splendored Thing (Paul Francis Webster / Sammy Fain)
      On The Sunny Side Of The Street (Jimmy McHugh / Dorothy Fields)
02. Cry Me A River (Arthur Hamilton)
      Unchained Melody (Alex North / Hy Zaret)
03. Only You (Buck Ram / Ande Rand)
      Blue Moon (Richard Rodgers / Lorenz Hart)
04. You Belong To Me (Pee Wee King / Redd Stewart / Chilton Price)
      I Love You Samantha (Cole Porter)
05. All The Way (Jimmy Van Heusen / Sammy Cahn)
      With A Song In My Heart (Richard Rodgers / Lorenz Hart)
06. Le Grisby (Jean Wiener)
      Together (De Sylva / L. Brown / R. Henderson)
07. Manhattan (Richard Rodgers / Lorenz Hart)
      Sonny Boy (Ray Henderson / Buddy DeSylva / Lew Brown / Al Jonson)
08. As Time Goes By (Herman Hupfeld)
