Great grooves from Jackson Conti – not a dude, but a duo – one that features Madlib teamed with Mamao, drummer from the legendary Azymuth! The album's got a really unique feel – one that mixes Madlib's chunky, fuzzy style of production with some of the cleaner, jazzier Azymuth ... (Deep Funk, Brazil)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Ritmos Quentes ... LP Damic (Brazil), Early 60s. Very Good+ ...
$14.9919.99
A really unusual jazzy Brazilian record! One side has tenorist Bill Bell blowing over some nice samba arrangements, mostly of Brazilian tunes – and the other side features trumpeter John Lester, echoing older American jazz modes, but with a groovier 60s beat! LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover is missing the plastic outer sleeve, but is nice overall.)

Great small combo bossa on the groovy Farroupilha label – three tracks each by four different artists! LP, Vinyl record album

This record is most famous for Paes' incredible reading of Edu Lobo's "Upa ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A great early album by this instrumental combo from the 70s – and one that's a perfect realization of their mix of rootsy instrumentation with more jazzy conceptions. The arrangements on the record are by Toninho Alves, and tracks include "Tres Tres", "Cavalo Marinho", ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and a trace of a price sticker.)
Pedrinho Sampaio is surrounded by keyboards on this late 70s gem from Brazil – and the record definitely makes it feel that way too – as Pedrinho handles a variety of different Yamaha organs and keyboards, plus some Roland strings as well! Yet there's also a nicely rounded group feel ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A rich new chapter in the career of Moreno Veloso – a set that steps off strongly from his work with the +2 trio, but in ways that are even more personal and poetic than before! The shift is a bit like that time when Caetano Veloso took all his previous experiments and found a more intimate ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
