Epic, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the better early bossa albums by Bonfa, and one that doesn't have the sleepy quality that you find on some of his other records. Luiz' guitar is backed by a nice little combo, and the tracks have a lively rhythm, with occasional vocals, and some nice flute solos from time to time. The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pias, 2020. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
It's been awhile since we've last heard from Bebel Gilberto – and honestly, that time has made all the difference – as this album's a corker, and may well be her greatest record to date!

Fantastic work by this underdiscovered Brazilian talent!

CBS/Le Tres Jazz Club (France), Mid 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99
Groovy groovy groovy! Les Masques were a 60s vocal-oriented Brazilian combo from France, and they had a tight jazzy approach that was similar to Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66!

Manhattan/EMI, 1986. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
You know, despite the fact that this one was recorded in the mid 80s, when we felt that Tania's great jazzy vocal style was being buried in excessive arrangements – in retrospect, it's actually got some darn nice moments.

Kapp, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $14.99
A excellent set of instrumental bossa nova tunes by Roberto Menescal – one of Brazil's true musical geniuses of the 60s!

Now Again, 2020. New Copy ... $19.99 24.98
A contemporary record, but one that's got all the depth, warmth, and complexity of some of our favorites from the 70s – music that more than strongly lives up to the legacy of Egberto Gismonti and Edu Lobo! Fabiano Do Nascimento has a way of mixing acoustic guitar with really compelling ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Far Out (UK), 1980. New Copy 2LP ... $29.99

Odeon/Elemental (Spain), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99
A fantastic 70s album from this legendary harmony quartet – a female group that first emerged during the bossa generation in 60s Brazil, but who seem to hit an even more sublime sound with this rare gem from 1972!

Capitol, 1968. Near Mint- ... $6.99
Mellow bossa guitar – in the tradition of Bonfa or Gilberto, but lacking the same sort of soul.
