Oscar Alemán: live

[Durium]

During the 1960s and 1970s Oscar Alemán was featured from time to time in various radio and TV programs in Argentina. No new recordings had been released since late 1950s when he dissolved his Orchesta de Jazz and the contract with Odeon ended, however, there was made some studio recordings mid-1960s in a new quintet setting as OA y sus Cinco Caballeros, but these recordings were not released until made available on LP late 1970s. Accordingly, collectors of Alemán's recorded output have had to accept a gap from 1957, when the last recordings by Odeon were made, until 1972, when the small Redondel label released new recordings by OA.

Fortunately, keen collectors in Argentina have taped extracts from OA's live-performance in radio, TV and public venues from this period, and these tape recordings are supplemented by recordings from Alemán and close friends' own tape collections - previously circulating among collectors, but never issued by a regular record company. A selection of this material has now been released on a double cd by the Fonocal label (FONOCAL 24 1/2) with the title Oscar Alemán - Eternamente Vivo.
