Continental/Groovie/Lion, 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $13.99
Massively heavy sounds from A Bolha – a Brazilian group who were previously known as The Bubbles, and backed up Gal Costa during the Tropicalia years – but who work here in a fuzzy, bassy groove that's totally great – definitely an heir to the headier sounds of the UK scene at the ...

Riverside, 1962. Very Good ... $14.99
Bossa madness – and a really hard to find pressing of this album! Cannonball Adderley recorded this nice little groover in 1962, when American musicans were just getting on the bossa tip, and still keeping things pretty authentic. The record was cut in New York with Sergio Mendes' early ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

One of the greatest Airto records ever – a really overlooked record cut for the mostly-Latin Montuno label in the 80s! The album's quite spare, and almost more in a Latin mode at times – given the harder percussion on the set, and the firey recording style given to the set by Montuno ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Great bit of Brazilian jazz recorded by Airto, with Flora and Hermeto, for the Buddah label in 1971.

CID/Far Out (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $13.99
A very weird record – and an odd parody of both Os Novos Baianos and Caetano Veloso!

Norberto Baldauf —
Ritmos Da Madrugada No 3 ... LP Odeon (Brazil), Early 60s. Very Good ... $11.99

Loki (180 gram pressing) ... LP Polygram/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99

Rozenblit/Audio Clarity (UK), 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99

A very cool set of instrumentals – part jazz, part bossa – with titles that include "Murmurio", "Samba Do Perroquet", "Se Voce Disser", "Volta", "Casa Da Lolo", and "Selecao De Carnaval". LP, Vinyl record album
(In a yellow-tinted cover, which has partial seam splitting.)
Discos Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
A bit of an oddball record from Walter Franco, and one we've really come to love over the years! Franco's clearly going for an experimental rock sound here – and while the hard jamming kind of works at odds against that at times, at others, the whole thing gels together nicely in a blend of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
RCA/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
Sweet and breezy, light and jazzy, with plenty of warm touches – and one of the only albums we've ever seen from Edson Fredrico! The set features Frederico working with arrangements by Luiz Eca and Durval Ferreira, done with light percussion touches, plenty of keyboards, and some of the warm ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Hand-numbered limited edition of 500!)
Tropical Diaspora (Germany), 2018. New Copy Gatefold ... $14.99
A contemporary set from Brazil, but one with a groove that feels like it was lifted right from the 70s – especially that period later in the decade when samba soul modes were coming into play with warmer boogie modes! The set's a live one, and features the strong lead vocals of Renato Gama ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(On colored vinyl with a bonus 7 inch!)
Verve, Mid 60s. Very Good- Gatefold ... $9.99
A beautiful dreamy album that's quite different from the classic Getz/Gilberto collaboration – but which also shares much of that set's lyrical beauty! This album was recorded live, in 1964, when Stan Getz was playing with his quartet that included Gary Burton on vibes – an incredible ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM pressing with Van Gelder stamp. Vinyl has oxidation on Side A and plays with surface noise.)
Verve, 1962. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
One of those records that no home should be without – not only a pivotal album in the growth of bossa nova in the 60s – but a set that also really helped set the career of tenorist Stan Getz on fire! The real credit here might almost go to guitarist Charlie Byrd – as Byrd was a ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Part of the Verve Vital Vinyl series!)
Verve, 1962. Very Good- ... Just Sold Out!
One of those records that no home should be without – not only a pivotal album in the growth of bossa nova in the 60s – but a set that also really helped set the career of tenorist Stan Getz on fire! The real credit here might almost go to guitarist Charlie Byrd – as Byrd was a ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Jazz Samba ... LP 22.99(MGM pressing. Cover has light wear)
Verve, 1963. Very Good Gatefold ... $6.99
One of the best of the Stan Getz bossa nova sessions – and a record that features the great Laurindo Almeida on guitar – playing with more virtuosity than either Charlie Byrd or Joao Gilberto did on their collaborations with Getz! The record's got a driving rhythm section, with lots of ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM pressing. Cover has some moisture stains and peeling along the bottom, with staining inside the gatefold as well.)
Stan Getz & Luiz Bonfa —
Jazz Samba Encore! ... LP Verve, 1963. Very Good Gatefold ... $16.99
Hardly an "encore" of the first Stan Getz Jazz Samba album – as this set's got a slightly different feel, and lots of great elements that make it really unique! This time around, Brazilian musician Luiz Bonfa is on guitar – already a skilled proponent of the bossa by the time ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some wear.)
Columbia, 1976. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A wonderful return to the sounds of Brazil for Stan Getz – a 70s album that reunites him with Joao Gilberto, but in a style that's somewhat different than the pair's older Verve recordings! The sound here is looser, freer – more in that breezy Brazilian mode that evolved out of the ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a split on the top seam and light wear.)
Elektra, 1979. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A very nice album cut by Gilberto Gil in the US in the late 70s – one that features production by Sergio Mendes, and sound that's a strong mix of jazz, soul, and Brazilian grooves! The record kind of fits in with the Elektra modern soul work at the time – a smooth blend of jazz and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a cutout hole.)
Perception, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
Killer work by Astrud Gilberto – very different than her Verve sides of the 60s! The album was produced by Astrud, arranged by Deodato – and has that wonderful warm full jazz feel of her classic album on CTI, but also a bit more like some of the funky work of Jorge Ben at the time ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Verve, 1967. Very Good Gatefold ... $14.99
A great album from Astrud Gilberto – one that has her pushing past the simple bossa of early years, running through a range of 60s styles that all sound great – really opening up, finding new confidence in her vocals, and bridging a few different musical worlds in the process! There's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM pressing with deep groove & Van Gelder stamp. Cover has some wear.)
Verve, 1970. Very Good- ... $19.99
One of the darkest albums ever recorded by Astrud Gilberto – her 60s last session for Verve Records, and a batch of beautifully moody tunes throughout! Arrangements are by Albert Gorgoni, who'd handled Gilberto's previous September 69 album – but the style here is a bit mellower, a bit ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM pressing.)
Astrud Gilberto —
Look To The Rainbow ... LP Verve, 1965. Near Mint- ... $16.99
One of the moodiest Verve albums from Astrud Gilberto – a set that has some surprising arrangements by Gil Evans – working here on one of his few 60s dates with a singer! Astrud's blue-tinged vocals work perfectly with Evans' backdrops – and Al Cohn also takes over the helm on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM pressing.)
Verve, 1965. Near Mint- ... $29.99
One of Astrud Gilberto's greatest albums – and quite possibly our personal favorite! The record features beautifully understated arrangements by Joao Donato, Don Sebesky, and Claus Ogerman – and the instrumentation is a haunting mix of bossa rhythms with darker orchestrations that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM pressing with deep groove.)
Verve (Mexico), 1966. Very Good- ... $14.99
Kind of a dream combination in one little album – especially if you dig breezy bossa from the 60s! Back in 1966, Verve Records got the great idea of teaming up its (then) biggest Brazilian imports – vocalist Astrud Gilberto and organist Walter Wanderley – both of whom were ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Warner/Polysom (Brazil), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
A warmly intimate album from Joao Gilberto – one that has the singer and guitarist in the same special space as his wonderful albums from the early 70s - a bit more sophisticated than the bossa years, but equally personal throughout! The set was co-produced by Helen Keane – who was ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition!)

BMG (Brazil), 1962. Near Mint- ... $19.99
