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/Landmark, 1962. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Bossa madness! 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.

One of the greatest Airto records ever – a really overlooked record cut for the mostly-Latin Montuno label in the 80s!

A lovely little Brazilian-styled set from tenorist Harry Allen – and one that features vocals and guitar from the wonderful Joyce!

There's still lots ... read more CD
RGE/Discobertas (Brazil), 1964. New Copy ... $18.99
A set that's a bit mellower than some of the other 60s records by Brazilian organist Ely Arcoverde – but one that's still got a very groovy sound overall! As you'd guess by the "boleros" in the title, most tunes are ballads – slow-steppers with a great late nite vibe, which ... read more CD

Mglo/Discobertas (Brazil), 1966. New Copy ... $18.99
Sweet organ from 60s Brazil – somewhat in the territory of Wander Wanderley and some of his generation, but also maybe a bit more swinging and poppy overall! Celio Balona plays his instrument with a lean, clean sound – sometimes set to samba rhythms, sometimes more rock-based – ... read more CD

Biscoito Fino (Brazil), 2019. New Copy ... $32.99
Gal Costa somehow looks younger than usual on the cover, and she sounds younger than usual on the set too – a fantastic live album recorded with backing from a tight rock-based combo – in a way that seems to intensify Gal, and bring her back to the gripping sounds of her work in the ...

Ariloa (Brazil), 1990. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Leo Gandelman produced this one, and it's got sort of a modern jazzy sound that sits well with some of Gal's singing on here, especially on standards like "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" and "Begin the Beguine". CD

Sunnyside, 2019. New Copy ... $15.99 16.98
A set dedicated to the memory of Antonio Carlos Jobim, but one that's hardly just the usual variation on his classic numbers – as only a few tunes here are actually by the composer, and all of the music has that fresh sort of sparkle that we always love in the Brazilian jazz material from ...

RCA (Brazil), 1975. Very Good Gatefold ... $14.99
Just about all the early and mid 70s work of Martinho Da Vila is excellent, but this album's especially tasty! Martinho seems to have picked up a bit of the funk that was in the samba sound of labelmates Antonio Carlos & Jocafi – and in a way, the record grooves along in a style that's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing in a gatefold cover, with the printed inner sleeve, insert, and poster!)
RCA (Brazil), 1969. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Classic modern samba material by one of Brazil's greatest exponents of the genre! Martinho Da Vila has a voice that's incredible, and incredibly hard to describe – but it grabs you fiercely, and leads you through the album's rich jaunty arrangements and heavy percussion tracks. This first ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

SESCSP (Brazil), 2019. New Copy ... $16.99
A great jazz album from Brazilian trombonist Raul De Souza – a musician who's got a long legacy of records from the bossa years onwards, including some key 70s fusion sides as well! Here, Raul's in a relatively intimate setting – working in a quartet with piano, bass, and drums – ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more CD
Visom (Brazil), 1987. Very Good ... $48.99
Wild album that mixes electric bass and percussion, with some vocals occasionally thrown into the mix – for a very strange and haunting approach! The record's got a cool stripped down sound, with one foot in Brazilian fusion and the other in batucada grooving – and it's a totally ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
