Marko Rupe e Seu Conjunto – Meditacao (1960)

Chantecler CMG 2083

Looks like Meditação is the only career album by alt sax and clarinet player and bandleader Marko Rupe. Let’s hope that this is not true and that some hidden recordings will show up, as the music presented is great.

So is the list of musicians:

Marko Rupe (Sax alto, Clarinete)
Wagner Naegele (Piston)
Manoel Araújo (Trombone)
Geraldo Pereira de Mello (Trompa)
Josef Kyjovsky (Sax baritono)
Waldir Marinho e Jorge Marinho (Contrabaixo)
Laerte Vaz de Melo (Piano)
Bituca (Bateria)
Jorge Miranda (Ritmo)
Yunnes Dumas e Magda Barbosa (Vocal)

The compositions are.

01. Meditação (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
02. Ninguém É de Ninguém (Umberto Silva / Toso Gomes / Luiz Mergulhão)
03. East Of The Sun (B. Bowman)
04. Choro na Gafieira (João Leal Brito “Britinho”)
05. Ican (E. Cano)
06. João E Maria (Roberto Carlos / Carlos Imperial) Interpretes: Yunes / Marko Rupe
07. My Reverie (Reverie) (Claude Debussy / Vrs. Larry Clinton)
08. Mulher de Trinta (Luis Antônio)
09. I’ll Never Fall In Love Again (Johnnie Ray)
10. Morena Queimada (Bruno Marnet) Interpretes: Marko Rupe / Magda Barbosa
11. Taking a Chance On Love (V. Duke / J. Latouche / T. Fetter)
12. Chora Tua Tristeza (Oscar Castro Neves / Luvercy Fiorini)

A long and informative text about Marko‘s career and his music can be read on the back cover in a text signed by:

ABOUT MARKO RUPE by Brazilliance:
In 1962, Marko Rupe, sometimes credited as Marco Ruppi, arranged and conducted the exquisite A Voz Balanco… Samba 35 mm by Sandra.
The next year, he is credited as Maestro on the back cover of Sambalanço by Orquestra Moderna de Sambas which actually is Sandra’s album re-recorded with instrumental versions in different order except Nuvem. You can take a look at this cover on my website
There seems to be at least one other album by him called Marko Rupe e seu Guitarras Epiphone.

Grande Orquestra Sob a Regencia de Gerson Flinkas – Sua Majestade, O Baile (1960)

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

Pistom: Hamilton, Barreto, G. Medeiros e Laerte
Trombone: Ed Maciel, W. Moura, Norato e Manoel Araújo

Guitarra: José Menezes
Contrabaixo: Vidal
Vibrafone: Jota Cláudio
Bells: Chuca-Chuca

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

SUA MAJESTADE

So are those credited:

Créditos: Pedro & 300discos

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?
