New Face Of Luiz Bonfa ... LP RCA, 1970. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A wickedly wonderful record from Luiz Bonfa – one that has his bossa-inflected guitar style supported by larger arrangements by Marty Manning.

Blue Thumb, Early 70s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99

Wyncote, Late 60s. Very Good ... $6.99

Bossa Nova Pelos Passaros ... LP Riverside, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Guitarist Charlie Byrd was one of the first American players to record bossa nova tunes – but although his work with Stan Getz has always been well-documented, some of the titles under his own name can be quite hard to come by.
