Neto........................................................Antes que pudesse ficar prejudicado com o excesso de reedicoes de trabalhos feitos ha muitos anos, representativos de outra fase de sua vida artistica, com Waldir Azevedo, um dos grandes executantes da cavaquinho no Brasil, que permaneceu quase uma decada afastada da vida artistica (6 anos em Brasilia, onde sofreu acidente num dos dedos), Waldir retornou a vida artistica no ano passado e neste periodo ja fez varias gravacoes. Mas agora, tem, finalmente, um elepe a altura de seu imenso talento (Continental, novembro/77). Como contamos nesta pagina, ha algumas semanas, Waldir gravou "magoado", um choro do violonista Dilermando Reis, que o desafiou originalmente pra violao. Pena que Dilermando nao esteja vivo para ouvir a gravacao. Temos certeza que se emocionaria. "Flor do Cerrado", incluido no disco, e a mais recente composicao de Waldir: foi feita no dia 20/9/77, no aviao que levava Waldir de Brasilia a Sao Paulo. Em "Cavaquinho Seresteiro", o solo de violao e feito por Hamilton Costa, parceiro de Waldir em "Contraste" e autor do bonito choro "Pra Esquecer", tambem incluido neste disco. As outras faixas sao de musicas conhecidas - mas grandemente valorizadas pela sensibilidade de Waldir: "E do Que Ha" (Luiz Americano), "Chao de Estrelas" (Orestes Barbosa / Silvio Caldas), "Vassourinhas" (Mathias da Rocha / Joana Ramos), "Choro Negro" (Paulinho da Viola / Fernando Costa). "Brejeiro" (Ernesto Nazareth), "Flor do Acabate" (Alvaro Sandim) e "Sao Paulo Quatrocentao" (Garoto / Chiquinho).Aramis Millarch - 04/12/1977 - publicado no jornal Estado do Parana - extraido do site Tabloide Digital************************Waldir Azevedo was the most successful composer and musician of the genre choro, and maybe of all Brazilian music, in relative terms. A pioneer in the exploration of the instrument cavaquinho, his themes, simple and communicative, always succeeded in capturing the attention of listeners. Azevedo recorded 132 compositions in diverse genres, 50 78s, and 20 LP's (including one shared with his rival Jacob do Bandolim). His songs were also recorded in Japan, Germany, and the U.S.A., where the Percy Faith Orchestra's recording of "Delicado" sold over a million copies.Azevedo's first instrument was the flute, at age seven. Soon he also learned mandolin and then cavaquinho. Learning the six and seven-string violoes (acoustic guitars), he performed in public for the first time on the flute, in 1933. His wish was to become an aviator, but his cardiac condition impeded it. Singing and playing the tenor violao he joined the group Aguias de Prata, which performed at the Copacabana Palace and recorded an album for Victor. Meanwhile, he was employed at Light Company.As Dilermando Reis needed a cavaquinho player for his regional, Azevedo was auditioned at Radio Clube right in the middle of his honeymoon and got the job, holding the position for two years. In 1947, Reis departed for his solo career and Azevedo took the leadership of the regional. He accompanied hundreds of artists, from novice to star, and began to draw the attention of the listeners towards his own compositions. As the recording company Continental was in
