Tropical Diaspora (Germany), 2018. New Copy Gatefold ... $28.99
A contemporary set from Brazil, but one with a groove that feels like it was lifted right from the 70s – especially that period later in the decade when samba soul modes were coming into play with warmer boogie modes!

Verve, Mid 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99

Verve, 1964. Very Good- Gatefold ... $7.99
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 ... $11.99
