@everyone, I couldn’t wait for the actual records from the recent e-digs to arrive as they’ll probably not be in for another week, or so. However, I’d like to shoutout Sergi from Altercat records for being cool with letting us use these sounds, and I’d just like to recommend the company to other vinyl lovers because they’re good people/ good business. Anyways, shipping was not excuse enough to not enjoy embarking into the funky Brazilian flavors of Zeca Do Trombone this week! The world unfortunately lost Zeca last year on June 20, so may his memory be honored through a brief moment peering into an earlier work of his, joined together with the well-known Brazilian jazz-funk group, Azymuth. “Ave Anne,” is a bonus release / track 7 from Zeca Do Trombone’s re-issued album titled, “Rota-Mar,” which was released originally in 1980 on Continental Records (Continental [3] – 1.01.404.280), and on November 26, 2021 on Altercat Records (ALT012).
Here is what little information is available about Zeca do Trombone, and the album, from Wikipedia and Altercat:
José da Silva ( Rio de Janeiro , August 7 , 1944 — Rio de Janeiro, June 20 , 2023 ), better known by the pseudonym Zeca do Trombone , was a Brazilian instrumentalist . [ two ]
In addition to being considered one of the best instrumentalists in Brazil, [ 3 ] he gained notoriety for working with several Brazilian popular music artists , such as Elizeth Cardoso , Pery Ribeiro , Carlos Dafé , Tim Maia , Beth Carvalho , Alcione , Martinho da Vila , Marlene , Wando , Milton Nascimento , Gonzaguinha , Ivan Lins , Ara Ketu and Negritude Júnior .

"Mainly known to DJs for the funk groover “Te Queria”, Rota-Mar is the first solo album by the charismatic Zéca do Trombone. During a vertiginous career which started in the late 60s, Zéca was a permanent member of Wilson Simonal’s band, toured with Luiz Eça’s Sagrada Família (alongside Joyce, Naná Vasconcelos, Nelson Angelo and others), recorded the seminal Brazilian funk “Coluna do Meio” for his joint effort with Roberto Sax, and played and recorded for some of the big names of Brazilian music such as Tim Maia or Martinho da Vila. Particularly for samba artists such as Alcione, Leci Brandão or Moreira da Silva, Zéca do Trombone was the trombonist of choice.
Rota-Mar displays the work of an established musician who has nothing to prove. Impregnated with Zéca’s characteristic voice, the songs draw inspiration from the sea, love and bohemian life, and let us all dream of what life in Rio the Janeiro was during that time. “Te Queria”, penned by Zéca’s childhood friend Elízio de Búzios (known for his highly collectable funk/boogie single “Tamanqueiro”) is the obvious highlight, although we believe the real beauty of the album lies in the relaxed sea-side groove and MPB in the rest of the songs, including Zéca’s superb take on Martinho da Vila’s “Manteiga de Garrafa”.
As bonus tracks to this reissue, we include both sides from Zéca’s rare 1977 single, featuring the allmighty trio Azymuth.
The physical version comes with an 8-page booklet (24-page in the CD version) with bilingual (Portuguese / English) liner notes by Brazilian journalist Marcelo Pinheiro and previously unpublished pictures from the artist’s archive. "
