Equipe/Far Out (UK), 1965. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99
An organ bossa classic from the legendary Eumir Deodato – one of his strongest albums from his early years in Brazil!

CTI/Vocalion (UK), 1972/1973. New Copy ... $18.99
A pair of classics from Deodato – back to back on a single high-quality CD!

Deodato —
Very Together ... LP MCA, 1976. Very Good ... $3.99
Great keyboard funk from Deodato – one of his excellent mid 70s sessions for MCA, all of which are sometimes eclipsed by his CTI work, but still equally groovy! As with most of the other MCA records, the songs here are shorter than before – but in a way that allows for even more punch ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some wear.)
CTI, 1974. Near Mint- ... $11.99
An excellent little live set from Deodato – hard to believe because the sound's just as tight and funky as his studio albums, and possibly even more interesting because he manages to pull it off equally well in a live setting! The record features percussion by Airto, guitar by John Tropea, ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Quadraphoic pressing. Cover has a cut corner.)
Equipe/Audio Clarity (UK), 1964. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99
Incredible early work by Deodato! This record's got the maestro picking up the Hammond organ, and playing with a samba/bossa group – for a sound that's similar to Walter Wanderley's Brazilian recordings, but which have a bit more going on in the instrumental department – thanks to some ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Plays at 45rpm!)
Philips/Audio Clarity (UK), 1964. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99
Beautiful airy bossa! This album's a 1964 session of straight piano bossa tracks by Deodato, with production by Roberto Quartin – and a sound that's a lot more mellow and fragile than his other records from the time! Deodato is amazingly restrained in his playing, and sticks to only piano ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Plays at 45rpm!)
Equipe/Far Out (UK), 1973. New Copy ... $12.99
A rare Brazilian album from the legendary keyboardist Deodato – recorded right around the same time as his classic CTI albums Prelude and Deodato 2 – but much more obscure! This set's got a similar electric vibe, but is much more compact – with maybe more organ than Rhodes, on ... read more CD

Copacabana (Brazil), 1974. Very Good+ ... $5.99
Benito sings kind of a lounge version of samba, with tight jazzy piano lines, and warm backing by a small combo and a vocal group.

RGE/Discobertas (Brazil), 1973. New Copy ... $9.99
Wicked samba from Djalma Dias – served up with a nice undercurrent of soul on a few tracks, too! Waltel Branco handles the arrangements, and gives the record a great little groove – one that's a mix of percussive samba elements and fuller backings at points – very lively overall, ... read more CD
Mills (Brazil), 2017. New Copy ... $19.99
A really beautiful record from the legendary Joao Donato – a killer jazz session, originally done as a private release for a Brazilian corporation, and never circulated widely at the time! The set's from Donato's more recent years, but it's got the sparkle and soul of some of his earlier ... read more CD
SESCSP (Brazil), 2016. New Copy ... $9.99
A glorious return to electric modes for the legendary Joao Donato – a set that has him playing the kind of sweet funky Fender Rhodes lines we love in his 70s work – alongside some Farfisa, Moog, and Clavinet too! Donato definitely takes the "eletrico" in the title seriously ... read more CD
Joao Donato —
Donato-Deodato ... LP Muse, 1973. Very Good+ ... $29.99
The legendary meeting of the two biggest Brazilian keyboard talents of the 70s – Joao Donato and Eumir Deodato – coming together in beautifully funky formation!

Cap Latino/Discobertas (Brazil), 1969. New Copy ... $18.99

Sweet 70s grooving from Brazilian singer Eva – a bit of soul, a bit of easy, all styled together nicely by orchestrations from the magical maestro Gaya!

Flaviola E O Bando Do Sol ... CD Solar/World Psychedelia, 1974. New Copy ... $4.99
A gem of a record from the same Pernambuco early 70s scene that gave us Lula Cortes, Ze Ramalho, Geraldo Azevedo, and Alceu Valenca!

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

Tropical Diaspora (Germany), 2018. New Copy Gatefold ... $14.99

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!

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!

Getz/Verve, 1964. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99
A very different record than the first collaboration between Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto – but that's also one of the things that makes it great!

Verve, 1963. Very Good Gatefold ... $6.99

Jazz Samba Encore! ... LP Verve, 1963. Very Good Gatefold ... $16.99

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!

Elektra, 1979. Near Mint- ... $19.99

Perception, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
Killer work by Astrud Gilberto – very different than her Verve sides of the 60s!

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!

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!

Bebel Gilberto —
Tanto Tempo (Six Degrees pressing) ... CD Ziriguiboom/Six Degrees, 2000. Used ... $2.99
