Sambossa is the second album from the pianist primo Jr. and what an
album it is...
"Primo Jr. recorded two LPs with the classic piano/bass/drums
format for Musidisc. This album, æSambossaÆ, is the second of the
two titles and features a good number of those tunes that are
certain to make a bossa trio album a classic.
Side one opens with Edu LoboÆs Festival winner æArrastπoÆ, a song
given English lyrics by Alan & Marilyn Bergman and later recorded
by Sergio Mendes & Brasil 77 as æFor MeÆ. The impressive thing
about the bossa jazz trios of this time was their leaderÆs
abilities to reinvent ways to arrange those same well-known songs
that all the other trios were also recording.
æPrimaveraÆ is an early Marcos Valle number tastefully rendered
here at a swinging mid-tempo. æVai No BalanτoÆ by Luiz Bittencourt,
son of Jacob do Bandolim, is from the golden era of samba-canτπo, a
subtle and melancholy tune redolent of loversÆ quarrels.
æChuvaÆ, also known as æRainÆ, is by Durval Ferreira and Pedro
Camargo. A classic of early 60s bossa and covered by many in Brazil
and the USA. æDo Jeito Que a Gente QuerÆ is an oddity here. The
song swings with force and has more than a touch of the æinfluencia
do jazzÆ that Carlos Lyra bemoaned in his eponymous song. Not too
many Ed Lincoln compositions made it onto bossa nova albums,
principally because Lincoln and his æZona NorteÆ pals with their
æsambalanτoÆ were diametrically opposed to the winsome æZona SulÆ
airs that often passed for second division bossa in the early 60s.
But its inclusion here shows not only LincolnÆs compositional craft
but also, with hindsight, how stupid factionism is.
æDeus BrasileiroÆ is another Valle brothers tune. Marcos and Paulo
Sergio were the natural bridge between the early bossa elitists and
the new bossa-influenced pop emerging in the late 60s. The third
Valle brothers song is æPreciso Aprender a Ser S≤Æ and another that
received English lyrics during MarcosÆ stay Stateside. A true
standard in Brazil and one that is still being recorded today, the
lyric (when present) has the singer lamenting that he must learn to
live alone.
Cult dancefloor number æSambossaÆ is from the pen of Musidisc boss
Nilo SΘrgio and a big hit on whatmusic.comÆs previous release, the
Breno Sauer QuartetoÆs æ4 na BossaÆ (WMLP-0006). A spare groove
tightly played out on cymbals and piano leads into the jazzy chorus
that will have the listener tapping in time.
æVivo SonhandoÆ, known as æThe DreamerÆ on JobimÆs own US
recordings, is perhaps one of his most beautiful melodies. More
uptempo here than usual, Primo leads the trio through a swift but
strong rendition.
æO Sol NascerßÆ was the song that signalled the wider acceptance of
æsamba de morroÆ composer, the legendary Cartola. Although well
known by the samba cognoscenti, Cartola only reached national
recognition at an advanced age in the mid 60s after Nara Leπo
started to record his songs along with those of ZΘ Ketφ and Joπo do
Vale.
æNanπÆ. What can you say about this extraordinary song? Written for
a movie soundtrack by the genius composer and arranger Moacir
Santos the words were added later by Mario Telles, brother of
singer Silvia. SantosÆ signature afrocentricity and timing are both
evident here. Moacir Santos spent many years in the US ghostwriting
for one Lalo Schifrin (think about it!) and, despite making two
albums for Blue Note, has only very recently received the acclaim
he deserves in his native Brazil.
æMinha NamoradaÆ is by Carlos Lyra, the æenemyÆ of the jazz
influence in bossa nova. Lyra even registered the word æsambalanτoÆ
as a trademark for his non-bossa nova (but also non-jazz!) songs,
even though the name was claimed by the jazz-infected likes of Ed
Lincoln and Jorge Ben. Still, polemics aside, Lyra wrote some great
songs and this one, in partnership with poet Vinicius de Moraes, is
gorgeous.
All in all, Primo Jr and his trio sound very accomplished and
relaxed on record which, as originally recorded in its stereo form,
still sounds as fresh today as it did in the mid-60s!"
""This release is dedicated to the memory of Primo Jr.""
