It is so easy to slack off James Last due to one (or a thousand) too many easy listening recordings but he is actually a well trained jazzman, just check his early Hans Last (real name) recordings from the 50s/60s. An...

Wonderful bossa nova with Maria Toledo and Luis Bonfa in perfect harmony. Stereo original from '67 in lovely shape, clean EX vinyl, cover has a ugly looking sticker tear on front and ring wear.

Masterpiece bossa jazz and a record everyone should own a copy of. Famous compositions in Brazil, Sabia and Stone Flower but enjoy the sunny Children's Games. Line up includes Deodato, Ron Carter, Airto Moreira and ma...

Mexican superstar Ray Tico travels Brazil and gets busy with big classics in Bahia, Desafinado, Orfeo Negro and much more. Check his own composition Beckie for a feel of the vibes. Sixties deep groove pressing with so...

Marco Rizo gettig busy on the piano with good takes of One Note Samba, Rio Bossa and Desafinado but had to run with the head nodding intro / outro on Lucy Bossa that is begging for a chop.

Ultra rare single only release with unique picture sleeve. With Oba, La Vem Ela on the flip I am pretty sure these tracks only came out as 7" in Europe. Consequently rare as hen's teeth. The Tropical side plays EX, th...

Jorge Ben is such a talent, be it his early 60s Afro-Brasileiro and Bossa Novas or these later 'cosmic' tinged Brazil beats he always come through. Nice boogie vibes on Sasaci Perere but check Danca Que Isso E Sambafo...

A must to any 'cosmic' Brazil fan with several tracks of his rare and in demand Bem-Vinda Amizade album. Check Ela Mora Em Matogrosso Fronteira Com O Paraguai that got plays by Baldelli back in the days. Solid EX copy...

Fantastic Jorge Ben compilation with all 60s and early 70s quality including top tunes like Xica Da Silva, Rita Jeep, Take It Easy My Brother Charles and much more. Soft marks but plays great, strong VG+ or better. Br...

Superstar bossa nova guitarist and Vinicius De Moraes partner in crime here with a brilliant varied album ranging from traditional Brazilian folk to uptempo clubby jazz-funk. Check Outra Historia. Rare and recommended...

Such a fine album that should appeal to Brazil, Jazz and Balearic fans alike. Caso Serio and La No Ceu stand out but obviously don't expect any poor playing by the master himself. The jazzy instrumental piece Hotel De...

Great MPB / Forro album release with some great mid-tempo synthy dancers. Brazilian original in unplayed condition.

Funky affair by the wonderful 'Forro' singer songwriter. One of her best with Essa Alegria, Chego Ja and Amor Com Cafe all great for playing out. Nice jazzy instrumentations on this one. Brazilian original in decent V...

Roupa Nova are hugely popular in Brazil and desite being a bit popish at times some of their tracks have a soulful feel. Bem Simples is a fine mellow piece and I really dig the vocal harmonies on Cancao De Verao. Rare...

Rare and recommended Luiz Caldas album release with lots of clubby boogie and MPB tunes plus the brilliant instrumental Classicaxe that you get in two different styled versions. There are open percussion breaks on a f...

With a cover like this and an late 80s recording date you kind of know the direction. Nice drumbreak on Ode E Adao and a good instrumental track called Fogo but unfortunately not as good as his earlier records.

Great and untapped 80s MPB / Boogie by the Brazilian femme fatale. Joga Fora and Felix are both good but Olhos Coloridos is in simple terms fantastico. Give it a listen. Brazilian original with solid EX vinyl grade ap...

Such an underrated record with the fantastic club friendly Misturada and Tiro Cruzado plus the blissful cover of Jobim's Waters Of March. Solid VG+ copy with light wear only, cover and labels has radio station sticker...

Obviously a different style to his seventies recordings but I do like the jazz fused boogie dancer Dream Hunter and his big hitter Carneval. US original in clean EX condition, cover with cut out and light miscolouring...

Excellent soundtrack compostion by the musical master saluting one of the sporting masters. Quality bossa beats and soem great jazz dancers with Gerry Mulligan on sax. Hey, Pele even gets busy on vocals on Meu Mundo E...
