4F - BEATLES DISCO DANCE (1996) REPOST

In this post, I share the tribute album released in Brazil, in 1996, by the label Paradoxx Music, entitled "Beatles Disco Dance", which features Beatles songs in a "dance" style, performed by the Italian project 4F.

4F was an Italian eurodance tribute project, also known as Fabolous 4. The songs were Beatles eurodance covers, produced and arranged by Antonio Summa, programmed by Massimiliano Falchi and M. Di Gennaro and mixed by Maurizio Braccagni and Roberto Gallo Salsotto.

The vocals were performed by Marco Guzzetti and were recorded in Milan (Italy) by the labels Pielle Records and Yellostone Records (labels affiliated with Discomagic Records).

The first album was titled Disco Beatles. It was released in France in 1998 under the title "Techno Dance Beatles 98" and in Canada in 1999 under the title "discobeatles - Hits On 45". The second album was called "Beatles In Dance".

In the Brazilian version, released by the Paradoxx label, there is no mention of credits about who is interpreting these songs.

However, it's worth it out of curiosity... Below are the songs that make up the album:

1. She loves you;

2. Ticket to ride;

3. Help;

4. A hard day's night; 

5. Day tripper;

LAFAYETTE - OS GRANDES SUCESSOS DOS BEATLES (2022)

The musician and keyboardist Lafayette was born in March 1943 and died in March 2021. At the age of five he began his musical training at the National Conservatory of Music in Rio de Janeiro.

With the emergence of rock and roll, he joined the group “The Blue Jeans Rockers”, which was responsible for the first instrumental rock recorded in Brazil. Along with him in the song Here is the blue jeans rockers were the future Luizinho e Seus Dinamites, Luizinho (electric guitar) and Euclides (guitar).

Lafayette's keyboards contributed decisively to building the sound identity of the Jovem Guarda movement in Brazil. His presence is unmistakable in several classic songs by the movement's main idols, since his debut in the song Terror dos Namorados, from Erasmo Carlos' first album, released in May 1965.

He also plays the organ in the song Quero que tudo pro inferno, recorded by Brazilian singer Roberto Carlos, which marked the genre forever. A kind of 'trademark' of the Jovem Guarda.

Despite this, the keyboardist does not have due recognition, given the extent, quality and influence of his work, especially during the period of the Jovem Guarda movement.

He recorded numerous albums, with emphasis on the series called “Lafayette Presents His Successes”. This series reached dozens of issues in its heyday, from the late 1960s to 1970s.

Most of his albums remain unreleased, in digital format on Compact Disc-Cd, with only a few timid official compilations re-released, one of which only features hits and classics by singer Roberto Carlos. What was popular in the recent past has become cult in modern times.

In this post I pay tribute to Lafayette by presenting a compilation of Beatles greatest hits, organized by the blog LaPlayaMusic, never officially released.

The following is the list of songs that are part of the compilation of the post:

01.  Yesterday;
02.  Michelle;
03.  All my loving;
04.  You won’t see me;
05.  Day tripper;
06.  My sweet lord (George Harrison solo recording);
07.  Another day (Paul McCartney solo recording);
08. Mrs. Vandelbit(Paul McCartney solo recording).

MANFREDO FEST TRIO - OS SAMBEATLES (1966) REPOST

Manfredo Fest was a Brazilian jazz and bossa nova instrumentalist, composer and arranger. He was born on May 13, 1938, in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and died on October 8, 1999, in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA.

He was visually impaired and learned to read sheet music using the Braille Method. A jazz lover, he was interested from an early age in the music of Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson and George Shearing.

In the city of Porto Alegre, he organized several groups, performing at parties, meetings and balls. In 1961, he graduated as a pianist from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. That year, he moved to São Paulo, where he met musicians linked to bossa nova. In São Paulo, he formed his first trio, performing in famous nightclubs such as Baiúca, Hotel Jaraguá and Cabridge Hotel.

He recorded his first album Long Playing-LP in 1962, including songs of his own, such as Eu sou feliz, with Lili Fest. In the following years, he recorded two more albums, the second with songs by Edu Lobo, Durval Ferreira, Baden Powell and Vera Brasil.

In 1965, he recorded Beatles hits in a samba rhythm on an album and, in the following year, he released Alma Brasileira. Invited by Sérgio Mendes, he acted as arranger and keyboardist for the group Brasil 66. In the recording of this tribute album, the trio's formation was: Manfred Fest (piano), Matias (bass) and Humberto Guy (drums)

He settled in Los Angeles (USA), where he began to research a mix of Brazilian jazz and samba. He formed a new trio and participated in the opening shows for the Brasil 66 presentations, recording several albums produced by Sérgio Mendes.

He left the group in 1970. He then formed new groups, including Batucada. In 1976, he released an LP album on his own label, which included his song Jungle cat. In 1992, he paid tribute to pianist Oscar Peterson with the song A blues for Oscar, recorded on an independent album.

From the following year, he began to record for the Concord label (USA), releasing four discs in Compact Disc format - CDs with instrumental versions of Caminhos cruzados, by Tom Jobim and Newton Mendonça, Passarim, by Tom Jobim, Ivan Lins and Vítor Martins, Amazonas, by João Donato, Over the rainbow, by Harold Arlen and Harburg and Summertime, by George and Ira Gershwin and Du Bose Heyward.

In 1996, he toured Germany and Denmark, accompanied by his son Phill Fest on guitar and Hendrik Mevrkens on harmonica, recording his most recent work with them. Two years later, he recorded on CD, live, his performance at Vartan Live Jazz, in Denver (Colorado), re-recording songs of his own.

GÜNTER NORIS - BEATLES ALBUM (1969)

To start the month of August, which the old ones said was the month of mad dogs, I present the tribute album "Beatles Album", by German musician Günter Noris, which was released in Germany, in 1969, by the label EMI/Columbia.

Conductor, pianist, arranger and composer Günter M. Noris, actually Günter Maier, was born on June 5, 1935, in Bad Kissingen, Lower Franconian and died on November 27, 2007, in Kerpen, North Rhine, Westphalia.

The son of a postman, he got in touch with music at an early age and learned piano and composition at the Bavarian State Conservatory in Würzburg. He financed his studies as a jazz musician, with performances in American clubs, as a member of the group Hep Cats.

After completing his studies, he continued to perform as a jazz musician with the Helmut Brandt group. In 1961, RIAS hired him as a pianist and assistant conductor for the RIAS Dance Orchestra in Berlin.

In 1966, Hildegard Knef made him the music director for her first tour. At that time he adopted the stage name of "Noris", after the "Villa Noris", in his hometown.

In 1967, he moved to Cologne to work as a pianist and arranger for the WDR Dance Orchestra. In 1968, he followed a successful tour of Japan and in 1970, WDR recorded the musical "Noris Pierre & Madeleine", starring René Kollo and Gitte Haenning.

In 1971, he founded the Big Band of the German Armed Forces, with which he also created the musical support program for the Munich Olympic Games (1972) and the 1974 World Cup in Germany. In 1983, he resigned from the Bundeswehr and founded his own band, the Gala Big Band, which focused on the typical "Noris sound".

From 1977 to 1996, Noris Günter, Hugo Strasser and Max Greger released 20 official dance records of the year for the General German Dance Teachers Association - ADTV. In 1995, ADTV named the Gala Big Band the "Best Dance Orchestra in the World".

Günter Noris performed around 2500 live performances in 15 countries in almost 40 years of his career. Proceeds from many of his concerts went to charity. President Richard Von Weizäcker personally presented him with the Federal Merit Cross.

In 2005, to mark his 70th birthday, former Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Jürgen Rüttgers, honored him.

The following is the list of songs that make up the album of this post:

01. Lady madonna;
02. With a little help from my friends;
03. Bungalow Bill;
04. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da;
