Clare Fischer —
So Danco Samba ... LP 
World Pacific, 1964. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
One of the grooviest albums ever from pianist Clare Fischer – and one of the few to really get at the bossa nova spirit that's only hinted at in some of his other work! Clare's bossa touches had a great effect on other artists in the 60s – most notably Cal Tjader – but here, he's ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo Blue label pressing. Cover has ring & edge wear.)
World Pacific, 1997. Used ... $4.99
Great stuff from Marisa Monte – and a record that's criss-crossed with influences, thanks to production by Arto Lindsay, and performances by Marc Ribot, Bernie Worrell, John Zorn, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Nana Vasconcelos, and Ed Motta! Maybe a bit slicker than the current American press hype would ... read more CD

Holiday In Brazil ... LP World Pacific, 1959. Near Mint- ... $34.99

Walter Wanderley —
Quarteto Bossamba ... LP World Pacific, 1965. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An incredible gem from Walter Wanderley's years in Brazil – a Quarteto Bossamba recording that features Wanderley on both piano and organ, often overdubbed at the same time for a very cool sound! The style is quite different from most of Wanderley's better-known records in the US – and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Walter Wanderley —
Samba So! ... LP World Pacific, Early 60s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A rare bossa session by Wanderly – recorded early in his career in Brazil, and issued here in the US by World Pacific. It's as tight a batch of bossa organ grooves as any of Wanderley's best albums from the 60's – and he's playing with a larger lineup than usual, which adds a lot to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Vinyl is a bit foggy, but plays great. Cover has light ring wear.)
