REPERTOIRE
Launched by Betinho and his Conjunto in 1954, re-recorded by Os Cariocas in the same year and Ronnie Ford in the 1960s.
Version of I’m in the mood for love. It was released in 1935, and inserted by Frances Langford in the movie “Every Night at Eight” released in the same year. From then on, it would be re-recorded by several singers and bands. In Brazil, it was initially recorded by Roberto Paiva in 1950, then in the 1960s, by singers Sérgio Murillo and Marco Aurélio. In the 1980s, it was re-recorded by Jane and Erondy.
It was released in 1930 in the USA by Bing Crosby when he was part of “The Rhythm Boys”. In Brazil, it won two illustrious versions, the first by Lamartine Babo (1931 – which was featured in the program) and the second by Ary Barroso (1932).
Recorded by actor Ronaldo Lupo in 1944.
Composition by Ricardo Baldacci from 2010. A phrase from was repeated 3 times and became a jazz theme. In the words of Bucky Pizzarelli ‘Ha! Great Stuff’.
Composition by Ricardo Baldacci, from 2013. After a trip to a Dance Festival in Argentina in the Lindy Hop style, Baldacci composed a song in solidarity with all those who have already suffered and had their invitations to a dance refused. Here the song mentions the late and greatest icon of Lindy Hop, Frankie Manning, implying that better days will come to the lives of aspiring dancers for the benevolence of his entity.
A song little known to the general public, Little Girl was iconic in Nat King Cole’s repertoire and is based on the harmony of After You’ve Gone. Cole introduced the theme to the repertoire in the late 1940s. In April 1956, already in stardom, Cole suffered a racist attack at a concert in the city of Birmingham, Alabama, when he was, by coincidence, singing this song. In Brazil, it was called É voce and was recorded by the prodigious Sonia Delfino in 1960 with an arrangement of Rock n’ Roll, in the Iê-iê-iê style on the LP ‘Alô, Broto’.
Moonglow is a 1933 song that was released by Italian-American violinist Joe Venutti. It became emblematic in Billie Holiday’s repertoire.
In Brazil, it won several versions, including one by Ivete Sangalo in 2003, which was part of the soundtrack of the soap opera Kubanacan.
Mappin was founded as a department store founded in São Paulo in 1913. Its famous jingle was created in the mid-1980s. Here the motif is adapted to the Gershwin brothers’ I got rhythm harmony.
