Milton (1976)

LP (Item 19055) A&M, 1976 — Condition: Very Good+
Gatefold
An important American album for the great Milton Nascimento – his first recorded in the US since the earlier Courage set for A&M – and like that record, a perfect bridge between the sound of his work in Brazil and the global modes that he had to offer! A key part of the set is the participation of Wayne Shorter on saxes – an artist that Milton had recorded with on the Native Dancer record – and the group also features work from Herbie Hancock on piano, Raul De Souza on trombone, Toninho Horta on guitar, and Airto on percussion – all jazzy talents who really keep things lean and groovy – in a style that's different than some of Nascimento's 70s work in Brazil. Tracks include "Raca", "The Call", "Os Povos", "Fairy Tale Song", "Francisco", "One Coin",and a nice remake of the classic "Cravo E Canela".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Cover has surface and edge wear, a trace of a sticker, initials in pen, and a bit of light staining on the top seam.)

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Jorge Ben

Dadiva
Som Livre (Brazil), 1983. Near Mint-
A great bit of 80s soul from Jorge Ben – a record that has ol' Jorge looking a bit new wave on the cover, but which is filled with grooves that are every bit as strong as any of his late 70s work! The soul style is very firmly in place here – a bit more mainstream than before, but in a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Caetano Veloso

Caetano Veloso (1986)
Nonesuch, 1986. Near Mint-
A beautifully spare album from Caetano Veloso – one of his greatest albums of the 80s, and quite unlike anything else he did in the decade! The sound here is almost a bit like Joao Gilberto's classic 1973 album for Polydor – mostly just acoustic guitar and vocals, recorded with a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Joao Donato

Bad Donato
Blue Thumb, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold
A wickedly funky album from Joao Donato – quite different than his earlier bossa sessions, and recorded in LA with a sweet jazzy bounce! The album's overflowing with great keyboard work – and Joao plays both piano and organ, in a group that includes percussion from Emil Richards, who ... LP, Vinyl record album

Elis Regina

Viva A Brotolandia
Continental (Brazil), 1961. Sealed
Some of the earliest work ever recorded by Elis Regina – issued here on a set that brings together her first two albums in one package! The sound here is quite different than the Elis Regina sound of the 70s – a lot brighter and more youthful, without as many of the somber overtones ... LP, Vinyl record album

Tim Maia

Tim Maia (1970)
Polydor (Brazil), 1970. Near Mint-
The incredible first album by Tim Maia – Brazil's greatest soul star in the 70s, and for good reason too – given that Tim was one of the few who could match the depth of American soul and funk at the time! Yet the music here is way more than just a Brazilian version of American soul ... LP, Vinyl record album

Papudinho

Especial!
Pat (Brazil), 1969. Near Mint-
Sweet bossa from Sao Paulo – and a really obscure indie set from late 60s Brazil! The style here is less conventional bossa than it is the sort of blend of styles that showed up often in the US during the time – bossa for basic inspiration, but also with bits of warmer pop, easy, and ... LP, Vinyl record album

Banda Black Rio

Maria Fumaca
Warner (Brazil), 1977. Near Mint-
An excellent album by one of the greatest Brazilian funk bands ever – a wonderful blend of funk, jazz, and soul – and a set that rivals any of the best work coming from the US at the time! These guys are right on the money right from the start – moving through sharp changes with ... LP, Vinyl record album

Paulo Diniz

Paulo Diniz (1972)
Odeon (Brazil), 1972. Very Good+
A really interesting album – with the complicated MPB feel of some of the best work on Odeon at the time. The style here mixes rootsy instrumentation and vocals with some larger concepts and electric touches – including great piano and organ by Dom Salvador, and musical direction by ... LP, Vinyl record album

Gal Costa

Personalidade
Philips (Brazil), 1970s/Early 1980s. Near Mint-
Gal's always been one of Brazil's greatest artists – whether she was singing strange raw tunes during her Tropicalia period, or moving into nice jazzy material during her later years. This set's a good introduction to her work, and it includes a lot of nice tracks that we don't always turn ... LP, Vinyl record album
Chantecler (Brazil), 1975. Very Good- Gatefold
Sweetly compressed rock from O Terco – one of the strongest mainstream Brazilian rock acts of the 70s, and a group who managed to fuse their progressive roots into a well-honed sound by the time of this mid 70s set! There's some nice Brazilian elements bubbling underneath the set's heavier ... LP, Vinyl record album

Tony Hatch

Latin Happening
Warner, 1967. Very Good+
Groovy stuff from the man who made Petula Clark so great! Tony conducts a tight Brit easy combo through a strident batch of lively instrumental tracks – not really Latin, but with nice Latiny touches that keep the groove interesting. Titles include "Whizz Ball", "Latin ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ornette Coleman

Free Jazz
Atlantic, 1961. Near Mint- Gatefold
The title gets it right – as the album's easily the closest thing to free jazz that Ornette Coleman ever recorded – an album-length improvisation played by a "double quartet" that's overflowing with classic players! The style here is a fair bit like John Coltrane's Ascension ... LP, Vinyl record album
