Sandra (A Voz Balanco) – Samba 35 MM (1961)

PAWAL ST-P-70016 (Stereo version)

One of the first albums ever that I have found on Loronix was Sandra‘s only career album. I also re-posted it from Loronix into another reality some 5-6 years ago. Last night I received it in a STEREO version from Edson Mendes, accompanied with a text about Sandra and some additional infromation about this album as well as two bonus tracks.

Here is Edson‘s complete text:

Sandra was a night club singer that sang with pianist and composer Newton Mendonça in boites such La Boheme and Carroussel, in Copacabana (RJ). She also worked at Djalma Ferreira‘s Drink.

With this album Samba 35mm, Sandra won the “Sambista – singer female newcomer” award from the Brazilian Association of Record Critics in 1961. But a few days before receiving the award in December of that year, Sandra died in a car crash. The cab she was traveling in skidded on the streetcar rails in Vila Isabel and crashed into a lamp-post.

As a highlight, this disc features two exclusive compositions by Newton Mendonça: “Nuvem” (the only one recording) and “O Tempo não Desfaz” (released in the previous year by singer Geny Martins).

01. Caminhando  (Luis Bandeira)
02. Dói… Dói… Dói…  (João Mello)
03. Tão Bom  (Hercílio Silva – Edgardo Luiz)
04. O Tempo Não Desfaz  (Newton Mendonça)
05. Devagar Com A Louça  (Luis Reis – Haroldo Barbosa)
06. Era Bom  (Hianto de Almeida – Macedo Netto)
07. Se Você Gostou  (Fernando Cesar – Carlos Imperal)
08. A Sandália Da Nêga (a.k.a. Deixa a Nega Gingar)  (Luiz Claudio)
09. Sem Bossa  (Wenceslau Netto)
10. Luluzinha Bossa Nova  ( Ronaldo Boscoli – Roberto Menescal)
11. O Maioral  (Sylvio Vianna)
12. Nuvem  (Newton Mendonça)

Bonus tracks (from Celso Murilo‘s album Férias no Drink – Pawal 20014 -1961):

13. Menino desce daí (Paulinho Nogueira)
14. Chiclete com banana (Gordurinha – Almira Castilho)

TRIVIA FOR THE DISTINGUISHED CONNAISSEUR by Brazilliance:
Tenor saxophonist Marco Ruppi aka Marko Rupe reutilized all arrangements except “Nuvem” the following year on the album Sambalanço credited as Orquestra Moderna de Sambas. For comparison you may listen here and here.
More of Sandra’s fine talent can be found on Celso Murilo’s ISTO É O DRINK from 1960 with her performing exquisite renditions of Poema das Mãos and A Tua Volta.

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)
12. Tonight (Could Be The Night) (V. Johnson)

REVIEW AND + by Bossanov:
It’s really great happy Hammond sound! Slightly similar to Wilson das Neves’ “Juventude 2000” and other dancing music of that time. Almost all of the crew are real “Os Cobras”!
Add some info about Fernando – he is Fernando Jorge Semi Maxnuk (or Maxnuck), member of Zumba Cinco, also working witn Leny Andrade in Rio, Bossa e Balanço show (Mario Castro Neves, piano; Fernando Maxnuk, vibrafone; Edson Lobo, contrabaixo;e Antonio Carlos Leite, bateria) and with Orlandivo.
