MOFB 3.323) como Paulo Alencar e sua Orquestra “Bossa nova jazz”, con diferente orden de los temas y dos temas más: el tema 11, aquí incluído como extra, es uno de ellos)

Paulo Alencar (su nombre de nacimiento era Isaac Feldman) (Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 1913 - Agoura Hills, California, 2010) violinista, compositor, instrumentista, productor, narrador y traductor. Fue un niño prodigio como violinista clásico y fue famoso en los Estados Unidos, donde llegó a tocar con Jascha Heifetz, Arturo Toscanini y la NBC Symphony Orchestra. Un accidente en su brazo derecho cortó su brillante carrera y empezó a trabajar como compositor, productor y traductor. Fue el narrador de los noticieros cinematográficos brasileños como “A Voz do Mundo Paramount”. Fue en ese momento, para esa nueva faceta, cuando adoptó el pseudónimo de Paulo Alencar. Radicado en la ciudad de Nueva York, en 1953, organizó su propia orquesta con la que grabó para el sello Coral. Como compositor, junto al letrista Ben Raleigh, alcanzó el éxito con canciones como "Why Do I Remember", grabada por primera vez en 1953 por The Honeydreamers, y "El Baión" grabada en 1954 por Tito Rodriguez and The Fontaine Sisters. Fue uno de los mayores divulgadores de la música brasileña en los EEUU en los años 50. Atento a las nuevas tendencias musicales de su país de origen, con el que mantenía contacto permanente, volvió a crear una orquesta con la que se adhirió a la moda de la Bossa nova. Éste es su cuarto álbum de esa fase.

"This is Jazza Nova, recorded by Paulo Alencar and His Brazilian All Stars in Rio de Janeiro in 1962, and originally released in Brazil by Odeon as “Bossa Nova Jazz.” The release speaks by itself: a jazzy LP fromthe early 60’s with a cast of all-stars musicians on set, and arrangements of Maestro Cipó. The instrumentation includes tenor sax, piano, guitar, bass, percussion, accordion, clarinet and trumpet in several different configurations. Unfortunately, the musicians involved were not credited, not even the gorgeous singer in Ziriguidum. Any bossa nova fan will really enjoy the music, and the masterful blowing. Billboard music editor Bob Rolontz said that: “Like their American counterparts, Brazilian jazzmen are deeply rooted in the jazz tradition and they play with soul and feeling. That feeling is evident on this recording of modern Bossa, which will be probably be called, from now on, Jazza Nova.”

- João and His Bossa Kings "Cool samba" (1962) (temas 13 a 24):
João Meirelles, (saxo tenor, flauta), Silvio Lopez (trompeta), Antonio Oliveira (piano), Manoel Gusmão (contrabajo), Jayme Storino (batería), Amauri Rodriguez (percusión).
Grabado en la ciudad de Rio de Janeiro, en 1962.
(editado originalmente en los EEUU por el sello Battle (Ref. BM 6123))

Primer álbum como líer del instrumentista, comopositor, arreglista y director de orquesta João Theodoro Meirelles
(Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 1940 - 2008), antes de formar el famoso conjunto Copa 5.

"João Theodoro Meirelles (1940-2008), tenor saxophonist, flute player and leader of the Bossa Kings, was born in Rio de Janeiro. Having originally established himself in several of Brazil's big-name bands, he settled easily into club work in São Paulo and at the Bottle Club in Rio, where he played with top visiting American jazzmen such as Jim Hall, Nick Travis, Bud Shank, and Sam Most, as well as such Brazilians as Luiz Eça, Paulo Moura, Sergio Mendes and Moacir Santos. He was one of the musicians who took Brazilian instrumental music one step forward, beyond the songs with lyrics that singers and fans liked to sing. That is why it is said that João Meirelles was the creator of samba-jazz, a genre linked closely to the emergence of Bossa Nova."

"(...) This pair of albums of bossa nova from Rio De Janeiro (1962) that sounds like the love child of Tom Jobim. The first one, which sadly does not list the musicians in the “Brazilian All Star” band, is led by violinist Paulo Alencar, and is a sublime mix of Afro-Cuban (as on the boppish “Zirguidum”), Horace Silver hard bop (“Adios America” and “Na Ha Razao”) and Getz/Gilberto (“Ideas” and “Bossa No.2”). The unidentified tenor saxist has the Getz feel down to the bone, while the reeds sway to the Brazilian wind on “Why Do I Remember?” Ipanema ideas.
João Meirelles also plays a Getzian tenor sax, as well as flute, with a Brazilian small group that percolates with percussion from Amauri Rodriguez and Jayme Storino/dr. Meirelles glides over the pulsations on “So Danço Samba” and the congas for “Se Teus Olhos Falassem” while his flute is sensuously sunny on “Soluçao”. Afro-Cuban adventures get bold on the simmering “Carnival Medley” and Silvio Lopez's trumpet sashays along during “Batucada”. Where has this been my whole life?" George W. Harris (www.jazzweekly.com, 10.012022)
