Rootsy Brazilian jazz – done Italian style! At one level, the group's a free-thinking assemblage that takes us back to the glory days of the Airto/Flora years – working in an earthy style that has lots of organic touches, yet which also rises out of the ground with a strongly jazzy ...

Skyscrapers ... CD Irma (Italy), Early 70s. Used ...
Out Of Stock
A fantastic Deodato album from 1973! Although this was recorded at the same time as his American releases on CTI, the album has much more of the flavor of his tighter, jazzier, earlier work – with loads of funky keyboards, and lots of shorter tracks that drive along nicely with interplay ...

Affair ... CD Irma (Italy), 2001. Used ...
Just Sold Out!
A loungey gem from Irma! Supposedly, these guys are the horn players for Herbalizer – and here, they're grooving in a retro-bossa mode with electronica touches, mixing keyboards, horns, and just a bit of vocals into that stripped down lounge groove that the Irma label has always handled so ...

A nice little record that offers up exactly what you see on the cover – the acoustic bass of Paolo Ghetti and the vocals of Anna – a singer who works in Italian throughout, but with a jazz-based approach that really works well with the bass – warm, carefully cresting, and with all ...

Before Now ... CD Moonbeat/Irma (Italy), 2003. Used ...
Out Of Stock
Funky soul from Scott Jacoby – one of the better songwriters to ever grace the Irma family of labels, working here with a nicely compressed sound that brings together a range of sounds!

A great return to form for the LTJ Experience – exactly the kind of tight grooves and soulful sounds that made Luca Trevisi such a standout in earlier years of the Italian club scene! The style here is really back to basics – somewhere between the spareness of the post-disco years and ... (New Grooves) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Deeper soul than usual from Ohm Guru – a record that really has them getting past some of their simpler dancefloor tricks, and heading into some surprisingly rich territory!

Groovy bossa vibes, and a combination of new and old material by the likes of Elsa Soarez, Giulio Camarca, Mandrake Som, Key Tronics Ensemble, Man Sueto, Paolo Achenza, and Babyra Soul.

A lovely little album dedicated to the famous Italian singer Mina – a vocalist with an incredible range, and an artist who made some incredibly groovy work back in the 60s and 70s!

Nice nice set of breezy modern bossa tracks, culled from the current catalog of Irma's Italian artists, most of whom have been receiving kudos for years for their dedication to a classic Brazilian sound. The tracks on here nicely mix electric bossa with more modern production touches, but still ... (New Grooves) read moreCD
