LP compilation number 5
As you well know, in previous posts I showed a collection of LPs that I found in the trash. And I have decided to make publications related to the musical history behind these productions. It is interesting that even today the commercialization of this type of technology is booming, especially because the new generations do not know much about this golden age of the industry.
Let's start
Charlie Barnet and his tribute to Harry James
Charlie Barnet is an American Jazz saxophonist born in 1913 in New York City.
Naturally at the time he was involved with the Swin genre and maintained a musical activity from the age of 16 where he had the opportunity to play on different cruises in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.
He would later dedicate himself to directing several jazz Big Bands and then disappear from the music scene. He also made numerous tribute albums, among which is this tribute album to Harry James, a consecrated trumpeter who achieved notoriety, especially in the film world.
Dana Summer I remember yesterday
Ladonna Adrian Gaines, better known as Dana Summer, born in Boston, United States, is recognized in the music scene as the queen of disco music.
I remember yesterday is the fifth studio album by the singer who managed to achieve international success, such as reaching number 1 in Italy after 3 releases and also achieving RIIA and BPI gold record certification.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about this album is that it has a compendium of popular music from the 40s in disco music and disco songs of the time, but the most notable thing is the song I feel love, which is electronic and where she herself defines it as the future. of the industry which undoubtedly makes it one of the first songs of this genre.
The Samba masks
This compilation of Samba Brasil was made in Venezuela, it shows the impact that this genre had in neighboring countries as well as internationally.
I think samba along with salsa are the most representative genres of that time, the musicality of South America had an important role at the time due to almost zero knowledge of our cultures. This, without mentioning Bossanova, meant that it was created in times of dictatorship where singing and playing bass were referred to in clandestine meetings to talk about political issues without being discovered by the intelligence centers.
