Luizinho e Seu Conjunto – Um Baile Com Luizinho (1958)

Columbia LPCB 37015

The newest package sent to us by Pedro & 300discos contains several ultra goodies, making it extremely difficult to choose which album to post as first. I narrowed the candidates down to two, as both are on my Santa Claus list. Then by recording date.

Luizinho (whoever he might be) and his conjunto on a re-edition of their 10′ LP released in 1957, with four additional tracks, recorded especially for this album: Cha-Hua-Hua and Conselho which were previously released as 78 rpms and Mambo do Galinho and Graças a Deus.

The back cover displays a long text by Ricardo Macedo about famous Luizinho, his music, the songs played, but Ricardo takes it for granted that the reader knows exactly who Luizinho is, probably because it is a name very, very rare in Brazil, almost as rare as Zezinho…

So, still no explicit proof about Luizinho‘s identity, which should not spoil your pleasure listening (or dancing) to these songs:

01. Canção do Mar (Ferrer Trindade / Frederico Brito)
02. Peguei Um Ita No Norte (Dorival Caymmi)
03. Cha-Hua-Hua (Joe Lubin / Irving Roth)
04. Mambo do Galinho (Betinho / Nazareno de Brito)
05. Xótis Do Netinho (Ângelo Apolônio ”Poly” / Victor Dagô)
06. Assobiador Preguiçoso (The Lazy Whistler) (H. Biddy / H. Hollanger)
07. La Goualante Du Pauvre Jean (Marguerite Monnot / René Rouzaud)
08. Biruta (Castro Perret / Amado Régis)
09. Conselho (Denis Brean / Osvaldo Guilherme)
10. Graças A Deus (Fernando César)
11. Vivo a Chorar (Porfírio Damasceno)
12. Lisboa Antiga (Raul Portela / Amadeu do Vale / José Galhardo)

Although the cover shows unmistakeable traces that it has been lying in a damp place and the cardboard got damaged by water, the vinyl itself sounds like it was just printed: No scratches, no noise, absolutely clear and fresh:

LUIS SCHIAVO by Denis:
Well almost sure that can be Luiz Schiavo. 05. Xótis Do Netinho (Ângelo Apolônio ”Poly”). Luiz Eça is certainly not.

COMPLETE COVER by Edson Mendes:
I found a new one on the Net and worked a little to improve it.

EDIT: I just found out that this album is a “greatest hits” collection by Luis Eça alias Luizinho + his conjunto. 

THE PIANO PLAYER ? by Denis:
Luis Eça never recorded in São Paulo
This Piano player i belive that can be Luis Schiavo, on the guitar is Angelo Apolonio (Poli).

MYSTERY OR CONFUSION by Frank-Oliver:
Some serious websites lists Luizinho‘s Sambas de Saudade album as by Luis Eça, but they don`t mention the other Columbia Luizinho albums, other Eça discographies even did not list Sambas de Saudade. On the cover of the Luizinho album Sucessos do Momento the piano player does not look like Eça, but it is not sure, that this is a picture of the real artist. I never heard of Luis Schiavo, that is a real mystery.

LUIS SCHIAVO by Denis:
I try to contact Nelson Ayres, he was a student of Luiz Schiavo the piano player of this time I know is Luis Schiavo.
This 2 Label of Luizinho is same piano player
Luis Eça is very much modern with Harmonies and Style
Others pianist with name LUIZINHO, Luis Mello and Luis Loy, but style totally different.
Luis Schiavo was piano player of the Theaters (cinemas) in São Paulo. Poli is on the guitar SURE.
About Angelo Apolonio o Poli:
Great Guitar Player record several lps in 50, 60, 70
Poli e seu Conjunto:
Carlinhos Mafasoli – Acordeon
Mario Casali – Piano
Luiz Schiavo – Orgão
