Samba De Flora ... CD Montuno, 1988. Used ... $14.99
One of the greatest Airto records ever – a really overlooked record cut for the mostly-Latin Montuno label in the 80s!

Aketa's Disk/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1983. New Copy ... $18.99
A slightly different album than usual from pianist Shoji Aketagawa, but one that still follows strongly in the best tradition of his offbeat gems for the Aketa's Disk label!
