cover art  
Premier (Italy), 1960s/1970s. New Copy 2LP
18 tracks -- most of them rare Brazilian ones, and all with a great mix of jazz, bossa, and groovy rhythms! The sound is very mod and 60s -- and there's more than a few here that we haven't seen reissued for a while. Titles include "Ponteio" by Som Psicodelico, "Balaio" by ...

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '65

In Person At El Matador
Atlantic, 1965. Good+
A great little live set from Sergio Mendes and his Brasil 65 group -- a pre-Brasil 66 combo that features Wanda De Sah on vocals and Rosinha De Valenca on guitar! The style here is more traditionally Brazilian bossa than Sergio's later work on A&M -- a fluidly jazzy groove captured with a good ...

Antonio Carlos Jobim

Composer Of Desafinado Plays
Verve, 1963. Good+ Gatefold
Antonio Carlos Jobim's classic Verve session from 1963 -- a tremendous record, done with a wonderful airy sound that became the trademark for bossa production in America -- and which also had a great inspiration on the sound of mid 60s bossa in Brazil! Claus Ogerman arranged and conducts the ...

Paulinho Da Costa

Agora
OJC/ZYX (Germany), 1977. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$5.99 12.98
A tasty session of west coast Brazilian grooves -- cut by the great percussionist Paulinho Da Costa, with a group that includes Claudio Slon, Larry Williams, and Lee Ritenour. The record's got a very nice breezy feel -- with a sound that's similar to some of the Fantasy Brazilian LPs of the time, ...

Paulinho Da Costa

Happy People
Pablo/ZYX (Germany), 1979. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$5.99 12.98
Jazzy Brazilian drummer Paulinho Da Costa lays down a set of tight fusion cuts recorded in the U.S., along with folks like Larry Carlton, James Gadson, and Philip Bailey. There's vocals on about half the tracks, and the sound is sort of LA studio fusion from the 70's, with a nice bit of Brazil ...

Orlandivo

Samba Em Paralelo
Whatmusic/Musidisc (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy (reissue)
Some of the earliest work we've ever seen from this hip Brazilian singer -- and a cool batch of jazzy tunes that's got a really fresh sound! The album's got the feel of a bossa session, but the instrumentation is a bit off-kilter -- in a really cool way, especially on the way that vibes are used ...
cover art  

Antonio Carlos Jobim

Stone Flower
CTI, 1970. New Copy (reissue)
One of Antonio Carlos Jobim's greatest records -- and a perfect blend of his subtle bossa genius with the moody electric sound of CTI! Jobim plays electric and acoustic piano, guitar, and sings a bit -- and Deodato handled the arrangements with a breezy brilliance that matches all the magic of ...
cover art  

Orlann Divo (aka Orlandivo)

Orlann Divo
Musidisc/Whatmusic (UK), 1963. New Copy (reissue)
Warm bossa grooves -- and the second album by Orlandivo, billed here on the cover as Orlann Divo! The album's a great batch of instrumentals -- jazzy, with a mix of percussion, bass, and organ that's quite different from the usual bossa album of its type -- much more expansive, and much more ...
cover art  

Os Pilantrocratas

Pilantocracia
Whatmusic (UK), Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)
A mad batch of tunes that are a perfect example of the "pilantragem" (piracy) movement in Brazil at the end of the 60s! Similar to some of the pluralistic cultural influences running through Tropicalia, pilantragem borrows music from a world of different sources -- working in a style ...
cover art  

Luciano Perrone e Seus Ritmistas Brasileiros

Batucada Fantastica Vol 3
Whatmusic (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy (reissue)
Excellent work from Luciano Perrone & "Seus Ritmistas Brasileiros" -- a crack percussion ensemble that recorded some of the best batucada work of the 60s! The album's recorded with a nice spacey sound that really adds to the "fantastica" feel of the set -- as the driving ...
cover art  

Chico Buarque

Meus Caros Amigos
Philips (Brazil), 1976. Very Good-
A wonderful mid 70s album by Chico Buarque -- proof that he was still one heck of a songwriter, and a pretty decent singer, despite the fact that he'd grown a silly-looking moustache! The production's very nice, too -- with that excellent compressed sound that was being used on some Brazilian ...
cover art  

Walter Wanderley

Batucada
Verve, 1967. Very Good Gatefold
One of our favorite Walter Wanderley albums ever -- and a record that moves past the more familiar bossa trio style used on his hits for Verve, into groovier new territory with added players who include Dom Um Romao on drums and Marcos Valle on guitar! And not only is the lineup expanded, but the ...
cover art  

Egberto Gismonti

Danca Das Cabecas
ECM, 1977. Very Good+
Although still a hell of a guitar player at this point, Gismonti's making a move away from the larger baroque arrangements used on earlier albums -- into a realm of sparer instrumentation with a more intimate feel. The work's still incredibly beautiful, and shares many elements of his earlier ...
cover art  
Vanguard, 1975. Very Good
Beautiful! This great LP was recorded at the same time that Sivuca did his other, easier to find LP for Vanguard. This one has very much the same feel, but was recorded in a swingin' live setting at the Village Gate, with a tight small combo and a very nice jazzy groove. The LP includes a longer ...
cover art  
Polydor/Universal (France), 1962. New Copy (reissue)
A gem of a record -- one of a few Brazilian sides cut in Paris during the 60s by Laura Villa -- an Italian singer by birth, but one who does a wonderful job here with bossa nova! The set's got all the complex charm of a Brazilian classic on Elenco or Forma -- with arrangements that are large, but ...
cover art  
Philips/Lilith, Late 60s/1970. New Copy
The birth of a legend -- the first three albums by Os Mutantes, packaged together in a single collection! All three records are amazing -- and really represent the group at their peak -- stretching out in a very experimental way during the key Tropicalia years in Brazil, and forging incredibly ...
cover art  
Capitol, 1965. New Copy (reissue)
A very unique album by Sergio Mendes -- recorded in LA in the years before his Brasil 66 albums for A&M -- but with a sound that clearly shows him going for the new bossa approach! The album's got some lovely vocals by Wanda De Sah, plus occasional guitar work by Rosinha De Valenca -- and ...
cover art  

Quarteto Em Cy

Quarteto Em Cy (1972)
Odeon/Amazon (Brazil), 1972. New Copy (reissue)
A sublime album by this lovely Brazilian quartet of female singers -- arguably their best album ever! The album features arrangements by Edu Lobo, Luiz Eca, and other baroque jazzy talents -- perfectly suited to take the bossa harmony sound of the Quarteto Em Cy into more sophisticated territory ...
cover art  

Conjunto 3D

Muito Na Onda
Odeon/Amazon (Brazil), 1967. New Copy (reissue)
A groovy little group from Brazil -- arranged and conducted by Antonio Adolfo! The group's got a really wonderful sound that's part bossa nova, part French 60s pop, and very much in the style of work by Marcos Valle from the late 60s! There's a female lead vocalist who sounds a lot like Valle's ...
cover art  

Edison Machado

Obras
Whatmusic (UK), New Copy Gatefold (reissue)
A deeply jazzy album from Brazil -- one of the few rare records cut by the combo of Edison Machado, one of Brazil's greatest drummers of the 60s! The set has a sound that's quite different from Machado's earlier work -- a fusion of post-bossa and post-Coltrane styles that comes off with an ...
cover art  

Zumba Cinco

Zumba Cinco
Musidisc/Whatmusic (UK), 1964. New Copy (reissue)
A jazzy groover from 60s Brazil -- filled with excellent work on vibes and percussion! The Zumba Cinco features a lineup that includes vibes, guitar, piano, bass, and drums -- and they groove with the best of the small combo bossa jazz groups of the time, crackling with fire and energy that takes ...
cover art  

Paulo Moura Hepteto

Fibra
Whatmusic (UK), 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)
One of the most sought after Brazilian jazz albums of the 70s -- and one of the strongest ever recorded by the great Paulo Moura! The album's a different one than you might expect from Moura, especially given his recent turn towards more traditional forms -- as it features many complicated ...
cover art  

Ed Lincoln

Ed Lincoln (1968)
Savoya/Whatmusic (UK), 1968. New Copy (reissue)
Excellent work from this fab Brazilian organ player! Next to Walter Wanderley, Ed Lincoln was one of Brazil's greatest talents on the Hammond Organ during the 1960s -- and this sparkling LP of samba and bossa groovers is one of his best recordings ever! The album's got a lively jazzy groove all ...
cover art  

Flora Purim

Carry On
Warner, 1979. Very Good+
Great stuff -- one of Flora Purim's more R&B-sounding albums from the 70s, produced by George Duke with an appreciation for Flora's Brazilian jazz roots, but with a smoother sound that's in keeping with Duke's own work of the time! The combination is pretty sweet -- a professional culmination ...
cover art  

Sergio Mendes

Sergio Mendes (1975)
Elektra, 1975. Very Good-
A very groovy batch of soul and pop tracks from Sergio, recorded with some nice smooth 70's arrangements, and nice jazzy production by Dave Grusin. The whole thing's got a very nice LA sound to it, and is a good adaptation of Sergio's pop Brazil sound to a more modern vibe. Sergio gets help from ...
cover art  

Uniao Black

Banda Uniao Black
Commonfolk (UK), 2005. Very Good (reissue)
The long-awaited return of Uniao Black -- one of the greatest Brazilian funk bands of the 70s, sounding better than ever here with some great raw production! The record's easily some of the best work the group's ever done -- and although current, the whole thing's got a searing sound that almost ...
cover art  

Antonio Carlos E Joacfi & Others

Supermanoela
Som Livre (Brazil), 1974. Very Good-
Antonio Carlos & Jocafi wrote the soundtrack for this mid 70s Brazilian novela -- and the album's got a depth that goes far beyond most of their own work of the time! Part of this quality comes from the range of different singers interpreting the work -- an assortment of talents who bring in a ...
cover art  

Antonio Carlos Jobim

Wave
CTI/A&M, 1967. Good+ Gatefold
A stunning mix of talents that brings the heavenly piano and guitar of Antonio Carlos Jobim into play with the lush, but light arrangements of Claus Ogerman -- a swirling mix of post-bossa loveliness that redefines Jobim's sound, and opens up new avenues for exploration in sound! The production is ...
cover art  

Joao Donato

Donato-Deodato
Muse, 1973. New Copy (reissue)
The legendary meeting of the two biggest Brazilian keyboard talents of the 70s -- Joao Donato and Eumir Deodato -- coming together in beautifully funky formation! The sound is a great blend of the moody electric work of Donato's classic Quem E Quem album, and some of the fuller, funkier grooves on ...
cover art  

Dom Um Romao

Dom Um Romao
Muse, 1973. New Copy (reissue)
An unbelievably fantastic album, and perhaps the greatest one that Dom Um Romao ever did! Dom recorded this one in America with a blend of Brazilian and New York musicians -- creating an incredible sound that's unlike anything else we can think of! We'd place this record next to the best electric ...
cover art  

Joyce, Nana Vasconcelos, & Mauricio Maestro

Visions Of Dawn -- The Paris 1976 Project
Far Out (UK), 1976. New Copy
An amazing little record -- a 70s session that we'd easily rank right up there with the best recordings ever from Joyce, but one that's only being issued here for the first time ever! The sound is brilliant -- that beautiful mix of strong and sweet that you'll always find when Joyce is at her best ...
cover art  

Miguel Angel

Samba Na Onda
Equipe/Whatmusic (UK), 1964. New Copy (reissue)
An upbeat groover from 60s Brazil -- a highly percussive album that features work by Wilson Das Neves and Rubens Bassini! The record is an unusual one, in that it mixes the bossa harmony sound of groups like Tamba Trio or Os Cariocas with a harder, more percussive sound that owes something to the ...
cover art  

Dom Um Romao

Spirit Of The Times
Muse, 1973. New Copy (reissue)
An incredible set of Brazilian jazz -- one of the few albums that percussionist Dom Um Romao recorded as a leader, and sublime all the way through! The record's got a wonderful blend of funky fusion and Brazilian percussion -- and features a group from two continents that includes Sivuca on organ, ...
cover art  

Bebeto

Bebeto
Whatmusic (UK), 1966. New Copy (reissue)
Sweet and jazzy work from Bebeto -- the only solo album by one third of the legendary Tamba Trio! The sound here is similar to Tamba's great electric recordings of the mid 70s -- fusion-inspired instrumentation, electric keyboards, flute, and a warm and fuzzy production style that makes the whole ...
cover art  

Wanda de Sah

Softly
Capitol, 1965. New Copy (reissue)
A lost bossa classic from Wanda De Sah -- aka Wanda Sa, the wife of Edu Lobo, and a singer who worked with Sergio Mendes in his pre-Brasil 66 days! The album's got a wonderfully laidback feel -- languid, yet jazzy, with the feel of some of Astrud Gilberto's best work on Verve, yet with vocals that ...
cover art  
Far Out (UK), 1990s/2000s. New Copy
A hip take on one of the most brilliant Brazilian labels of the past few decades -- London's legendary Far Out Records, home to some of the best bossa sounds on the planet -- carefully compiled and mixed here by the mighty Gilles Peterson! Peterson's been a friend of the label since it's inception ...
cover art  

Roberto Nascimento

Roberto Nascimento
Amazon/Tapecar, Early 80s. New Copy (reissue)
A wonderful little album -- sweet jazzy MPB from Roberto Nascimento, a lost record that we're very happy got reissued! We'll be honest and say that we didn't know anything about this one in the past -- but we really enjoy the record for its warm grooves and gently soulful vocals. The overall ...
cover art  
Whatmusic (UK), 2001. New Copy
A great set of samba soul tracks -- new, but with a classic feel, and dedicated to soul legend Tim Maia! The record's led by singer/percussionist Dom Mita -- and features work by members of Banda Black Rio, Os Devaneios, and others. The production's a bit modern -- but the record's got the same ...
cover art  

Azymuth

Spectrum
Milestone, 1985. New Copy
Proof that Azymuth were one of the few groups who could keep things real at a time when most of their fusion contemporaries were sounding cloying and commercial! The album's got a well-rounded sound that really shows the group's roots in the 70s, and their wonderful evolution over the years -- ...
cover art  
Mr Bongo (UK), 1996. New Copy 2LP
Billed in the press as "the original bass and drum", this is a wonderful set of rare Batucada percussion tracks, lovingly packaged by Mr Bongo for the hipster London scene. In case you're not familiar with Batucada, it's got that hard, fast percussion sound, with lots of instruments in ...

Agustin Pereyra Lucena

Agustin Pereyra Lucena
Guerssen (Spain), 1970. New Copy (reissue)
Lovely bossa work from Argentine guitarist Agustin Pereyra Lucena -- one of his first records, done in a style that's right up there with the best of Brazil in the 60s! Acoustic guitar is the main instrumentation on the set -- supported by light percussion, warm basslines, and some occasional ...
cover art  

Rio 3

Valley Samba
Whatmusic (UK), 1968. New Copy (reissue)
A wonderful late bossa groover -- the only album by Rio 3, the group that went onto form the core of Bossa Rio! The group's a trio in the classic 60s bossa mode -- Ronald Mesquita on drums, Osmar Milito on piano, and Otavio Baill on bass -- but the sound of the work's a bit more open-ended and ...
cover art  
Polygram/Lilith (Italy), 1971. New Copy (reissue)
One of the greatest albums ever from Caetano Veloso -- a rare all-English language set, recorded in London during the years of his exile! The post-Tropicalia set is a fair bit different than any other Veloso album we can think of -- not just because of the English language, but also because the ...
cover art  

Guilherme Vergueiro

Naturalmente
Fonografico Independentes Distribuicao/Whatmusic (UK), 1980. New Copy (reissue)
A great little album of Brazilian fusion! The record has a cool electric groove to it -- mixing acoustic piano from Guilherme Vergueiro with bass and guitar, plus solos on flute, and vocals done in a breezy wordless style that's similar to 70s work by artists like Manfredo Fest or Tania Maria. ...
cover art  

Primo Trio

Sambossa
Whatmusic (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy (reissue)
Bossa piano galore -- and an excellent album that we're quite happy to see reissued! Primo Jr plays piano with bass and drums behind him -- grooving nicely in the style of the Milton Banana Trio, Sambalanco Trio, and other famous 60s Brazilian combos. Primo's style on the keys has a nicely ...
cover art  

Primo 7

Pinta O Sete
Whatmusic (UK), Mid 60s. New Copy (reissue)
Jazzy organ grooves from Brazil -- a sweet 60s swinger that packs a heck of a punch! The album's one of the few by Primo Jr, and features a great blend of organ, percussion, vibes, vocals, and guitar -- all dancing around with a groove that's similar to the best mid 60s work by Ed Lincoln, who was ...
cover art  

Leny Andrade

Grabado No Mexico
RVV (Brazil), 1966. New Copy (reissue)
A rare Leny Andrade album -- one that's pulled from her early bossa years, but recorded in Mexico with a slightly different feel! The group's a small one, and features some really great vibes from Breno Sauer -- played over lively bossa rhythms, that are always spare and jazzy -- a perfect setting ...
cover art  

Eduardo Araujo

A Onda E Boogaloo
EMI/Odeon (Brazil), 1969. New Copy (reissue)
Swingin Brazilian soul from Eduardo Araujo -- a late 60s groover that's steeped in the styles of Memphis and Muscle Shoals, but which also has a unique twist that's all its own! Eduardo's definitely in the "boogaloo" mode referred to in the title, as the album's a blend of the hard sock-s ...
