Polydor LPNG 4058

Presenting Maestro Gerson Flinkas for the first time on Parallel Realities with two of his career albums.

I have chosen Sua Majestade, O Baile from 1960 as the first for the simple reason that the back cover displays the large list of very prominent members of his Grande Orquestra:

Violinos: Irany Pinto, Ciccillo, Bissaggio, Paulo, Noli, Pinheiro, Damião, Marcus, Sporh, Gentil, Julio e Murillo
Sax tenor: Zé Bodega e Sandoval Dias
Sax alto: K-Ximbinho e Jaime Araújo
Sax baritono: Adherbal Moreira
Pistom: Hamilton, Barreto, G. Medeiros e Laerte
Trombone: Ed Maciel, W. Moura, Norato e Manoel Araújo
Piano: Tito Romero
Guitarra: José Menezes
Contrabaixo: Vidal
Vibrafone: Jota Cláudio
Bells: Chuca-Chuca
Bateria: Paulinho e Plinio
Bongô: Sebastião
Ritmo: Marçal, Eliseu, Noel, Boca de Ouro e Alberto
Vocalizes: Dalva de Andrade

As well as the members of the Choir: Severino Filho, Hortência Araújo, Ivone Rebelo, Odaléa Sodré e Aldir Mendes

The track list speaks for itself:

01. Brigas Nunca Mais (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02. Noites de Moscou (Vassily Solovyov-Sedoy)
03. Sai do Bar (Ricardo Galeno / Paulo Tito)
04. Io (Domenico Modugno / Franco Migliacci)
05. Este Seu Olhar (Tom Jobim)
06. Insistência (Fernando César / Luiz Cláudio (1))
07. El Milionário (Perez Prado)
08. Samba de Orfeu (Luiz Bonfá / Antônio Maria)
09. Falam Meus Olhos (Fernando César / Nazareno de Brito)
10. Romance no Rio (Claribalte Passos / Lyrio Panicali)
11. Venus (Ed Marshall)
12. Naquela Base (Ubirajara O. Cabral)

The link is where expected:

SUA MAJESTADE

So are those credited:

FACTS AND GUESSES by Bossanov:
Tito Romero – in reality is special Polydor’s name for João Adelino Leal Brito, AKA Britinho (CBS, Columbia, Odeon, Sinter) / Leal Brito, Al Brito / Pierre Kolmann (Musidisc) and Franca Villa (Sinter). Can the pianoman from another Gerson‘s LP, El Romeu, be Leal Brito too?
Or it is Romeu Fossati (Mocambo)? Who knows?
Vibrafone player Jota Cláudio may be José Cláudio das Neves?

THE VARIOUS DANCERS’ MUSIC

Créditos: Pedro & 300discos

DETECTIVE WORK by Bossanov:

“Joe Hammond“… Not Brazilian sounding name… Nickname of Hammond player? Joe = Joseph =Jose= Ze!!! May be Ze Maria (that time on Continental label)?

Next step – one and only LP of Joe Hammond was released 1962 on Philips with 4 tunes, compossed by… Ze Maria!!! So, IMHO, Ze Maria is Joe Hammond.

BREAKING NEWS FROM MOSCOW by Bossanov:

As a Russian I feel it necessary to comment on “Noites de Moscou“, one of the most popular song from my country in the world. For some strange reasons all brazilian versions of it except one (see Instituto Memoria Musical Brasileira) credit it to great composer of Soviet Russia Isaac Dunayevsky, but in reality (not parallel) it is the song of another great composer of that period – Vassily Solovyov-Sedoy!!!
