Laurindo AlmeidaGuitar From Ipanema ... LP
Capitol, 1964. Very Good ... $7.99
Breezy bossa nova – Hollywood 60s style! The album's one of the best cut for Capitol by guitarist Laurindo Almeida – and has a sweet groovy little style that features Laurindo's lovely guitar work over some lightly dancing small combo backings that include flute, harmonica, organ, percussion, and even a bit of whistling on a few tracks! The vibe's very much in the best Verve/Impulse takes on the bossa – done with a clear California influence, which keeps things cool and breezy – and which also pushes Almeida past his sometimes-staid style on guitar. Two cuts also feature some great vocals by Irene Kral – and titles include "Twilight In Rio", "Old Guitaron", "Sarah's Samba", "Izabella", "Winter Moon", "Girl From Ipanema", and "Choro For People In Love". LP, Vinyl record album
(Rainbow label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and aging, yellowed sticker spot, and some light stains around the top seam and spine. Labels have side durations written in fine marker.)

✨✧ Sammy Davis Jr & Laurindo AlmeidaSammy Davis Jr Sings, Laurindo Almeida Plays ... LP
Reprise, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
The closest thing Sammy D ever came to cutting a bossa album – and a lovely batch of fragile tunes that feature no other instrumentation save for the guitar of Laurindo Almeida. Almeida plays acoustic guitar on the album, in a gentle style that supports Sam's rich voice as it works through a set of ballads and sad songs that includes "Here's That Rainy Day", "Two Different Worlds", "The Shadow Of Your Smile", "Joey Joey Joey", "Speak Low", and "We'll Be Together Again".

✨✧ Claudine LongetDigitally Remastered Best Of Claudine Longet ... CD
A&M (Japan), Late 60s. Used ... Out Of Stock
A totally great collection of work by this enigmatic singer from the 60s! Claudine's got a very lovely voice – as you may already know – and it was a perfect match for the breathy breezy easy studio talents of the great A&M label. Her recordings for A&M during the late 60s are still some of the best pop vocal tracks to ever come out of LA – and this nicely remastered CD features 24 great tracks from Claudine's now out of print LPs – including "Walk In The Park", "Happy Talk", "Sleep Safe & Warm", "A Man & A Woman", "Hello, Hello", "Snow", "Lazy Summer Night", and "I Don't Intend To Spend Christmas Without You".

✨✧ Arthur LymanBwana A ... LP
Hi Fi, 1958. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Classic exotica from Arthur Lyman – a set that really shows the lessons he learned from Martin Denny – and his willingness to take the genre into some strong new directions! The style here is still very much in the percussive mode you might expect from Denny's generation – but it's also a bit more mystical and exotic too – somewhat swirling and dark at points, with lots of weird sounds in the mix. There's an odd instrument called a "moon harp" on part of the record – and a bit of vocals from the lovely Ethel Azama too – and titles include the beautiful "Moon Over a Ruined Castle", plus "Bwana A", "South Pacific Moonlight", "La Paloma", "Pua Carnation", and a great take on "Colonel Bogey's March", aka the theme to "Bridge Over The River Kwai".

Arthur LymanYellow Bird ... LP
Hi Fi, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $8.99
Sweet exotic sounds from the Arthur Lyman group – heavy on vibes and lots of hip percussion – recorded with a gently swaying feel that recalls the best energy of the Hawaiian scene in the postwar years! The set's one of Lyman's early solo dates – recorded Henry Kaiser Aluminum Dome in Hawaii – which you can almost hear in the way the sounds here resonate, and hang sweetly in air. The tunes are pretty mellow, but in a good way – more sonically sensitive than some more gimmicky, sound effect-heavy exotica – and titles include "Adventures in Paradise", "Andalusia", "Yellow Bird", "Arrivederci Roma", "Sweet & Lovely", "Bamboo Taboo", "Granada", and "Ravel's Bolero". Fire up that console stereo and break out the Tiki glasses! LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and aging.)

Gary McFarlandSoft Samba ... LP
Verve, 1964. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $9.99
A dream of a record from Gary McFarland – lightly jazzy instrumentals with a warm bossa nova undercurrent! The style is incredible – a sweet blend of vibes, guitar, and even some light whistling – often also featuring wordless jazz vocals – scatting along with the groove in a melodic and lovely kind of way! The whole thing's incredibly charming, and even familiar tunes come across sounding quite different in McFarlands hands. Titles include "From Russia With Love", "More", "Emily", "La Vie En Rose", "The Love Goddess", and even a groovy take on "I Want To Hold Your Hand". For you true swingers, the cover includes directions for mixing a "Soft Samba Cocktail" (courtesy Spanish Sherry Institute)! (Jazz, Now Sound) LP, Vinyl record album
(MGM stereo pressing. Cover has light wear, a wavy corner, and a few small strips of clear tape.)

✨✧ Bill PerkinsBossa Nova – With Strings Attached ... LP
Liberty, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A lovely lost gem! The tenor sax of Bill Perkins graced a rare few jazz sides of the 50s, and it sounds equally great on this mid 60s bossa session – one that features Bill soloing over the top of arrangements by Bob Florence that mix together small combo grooving and some larger string backings. The set's not the hardest hitting in the world, but Bill's tone is wonderfully honest – right up there with Getz's best interpretation of similar material, and a refreshing delight in a world of soundalike bossa pop albums. Titles include "Tres Palabras", "Joao", "Little Boat", "Baia", "Pensativa", "Summer Festival", and "Obscurity". (Jazz, Now Sound) LP, Vinyl record album

Lalo SchifrinPiano, Strings, & Bossa Nova (aka Insensatez) (LP sleeve edition) ... CD
MGM/Verve, 1963. Used ... $9.99
A wonderful album from Lalo Schfrin! This one mixes together bossa piano and sweeping string arrangements – in a style that's incredibly dark-edged and driving, with a sound that's at once spooky and lovely – a dancing groove that makes the best tracks really sparkle! The album's light years away from other "piano with strings" albums of the time – proof that Schifrin was easily one of the most imaginative forces of his generation, and an arranger who really helped reshape music in the 60s. Titles include the incredible version of "Maria" that's played quite often by Gilles Peterson – plus loads of other nice ones, like "The Wave", "Insensatez", "You And Me", "Murmurio", "Rapaz De Bem", "Rio After Dark", and "Time For Love".

✨✧ Lee SelmocoMosaico – Le Tastiere Di Lee Selmoco ... LP
Vedette/Holy Basil (Italy), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A keyboard-heavy groover from the great Italian sound library label Vedette – one that features loads of sweet organ and piano lines in many flavors – all mixed with the kind of lovely instrumentation we find in our favorite Italian soundtracks too! Lee Selmoco is actually one of the many pseudonyms of Francesco Anselmo – and the keyboards here move between a variety of different styles and settings, and often even a familiar element might get a nicely offbeat handling in the production – which only furthers the groovy sound of the entire album! Titles include "Ansiedad", "Chemin De Fer", "Itinerario B", "Sole Rosso", "Sin Palabras", "Festa Al Quartiere", and "Ora Di Punta". (Sound Library, Now Sound) LP, Vinyl record album

Paul SmithDelicate Jazz ... LP
Capitol, 1957. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Lovely music from pianist Paul Smith – working here on one of his most standout sessions of the 50s, thanks to the presence of horn players Bob Cooper on tenor and Julie Kinsler on flute! The style is still very much in the same fluid area as Paul's Liquid Sounds work for Capitol – but the addition of the tenor and flute really fleshes things out nicely, and gives the record a sparkling sound that's mighty nice – almost more 60s swinging in its conception at times, especially given the guitar work by Toni Rizzi! In addition to Smith's piano, the group also features bass by Joe Mondragon and drums by Stan Levey – and titles include "Chicken Wings", "Gisele", "Cookie Time", "But Not For Me", "Fine & Dandy", "Lady In Red", and "Love Walked In".

✨✧ Joanie SommersSoftly, The Brazilian Sound ... CD
Warner (Japan), 1964. Used ... Out Of Stock
A whole new dimension of pop from the lovely Joanie Sommers – an album of bossa tunes, recorded with strings and backing by the great Laurindo Almeida! The style is wonderfully sweet – and works perfectly with Joanie's gentle vocals – and although not all the tunes are strict bossa standards, they're all taken in a similar mode, which makes for a really unified set. The album features a few tasty debuts – including "Old Guitarron" and "You Can't Go Home Again" – plus versions of "Meditation", "Quiet Nights", "Once", "Carnival", "That's All", and "Watching The World Go By". (Vocalists, Now Sound) CD
