Capitol, 1962. Very Good+ ... $24.99
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.

CID (Brazil), 1985. Used ... $14.99
One of 2 albums that Leny recorded for the Pointer label in the mid 80s – both with a similar lineup, similar style, and covers that are almost exactly the same – not that that's a bad thing, because the music is equally great on both, even if it's hard to tell them apart from the ... read more CD
