Two decent jazz covers of Hancock's Maiden Voyage and Watermelon Man on this East German release but the winner without contenders is the Brazilian flavoured tittle track Swinging Pool. Great scat vocals.

Highly collectable Bozza Jazz four track EP from 1962 with Agostinho Dos Santos and the Quarteto De Oscar Castro Neves hitting Carnegie Hall. Wonderful from start to finish with Desafinado, Samba De Uma Nota So, O Bar...

My personal favorite Airto release with Flora Purim including the cooking Batucada spin Celebration Suite that for sure will get you going.

Herbie Hancock produced latin jazz funk with a fantastic line up. Wayne Shorter, Raul De Souza, Flora Purim and obviously the man himself. Includes the now famous latin fusion track Encounter. US original in decent co...

Mixed back of Latin and Brazil tinged themes by library main man Alan Tew. Gotta love The Troubleshooters but The Carnical Is Over would work well in a Bossa Nova setting.

Rare progish MPB that opens with the excellent Bobo Da Corte. Great sample material that I can not imagine have been used before. Like the Balearic sounding ballad Iris as well. Hard to find album that is rarely avail...

Wonderful Alcione Nazare getting her samba groove on with top tunes in O Surdo, Aruande and E Amor Deixa Doer. Lovely copy with one pen mark on front, disc is straight EX.

Don't get put off by the late eighties recording date, Alcione still on top form. Bua Bua and Cancao Do Exilo my favorites but a good listen throughout. Solid EX plus plus copy with insert included.

Excellent eighties album including the fine groover Mister Samba, a really nice dancefloor treat by wonderful Alcione. Her discography is worth a lot more attention than granted by most. Original RCA press in lovely E...

It took me a while to catch on to Almir Sater's talents but better late than never. Brilliant mix of Brazilian and Indian vibes on this all instrumental release. Recorded in Sao Paolo but released on Rio Record. White...

This one is still somewhat under the radar but actually is one of the best releases on the French folk label, Arion. Brilliant mix of straight samba, batucada and forro. Listen to the hypnotic vibes of A Coroa Do Rei ...

Nice mid tempo MPB with a spike of Forro by stunning Amelia Claudia Garcia Colares aka Amelinha. Record is EX with light scuffin only, cover on the weak side of VG+ with ringwear.

Very consistent affair by the famous Brazilian duo Antonio Carlos Marques Pinto and Jose Carlos Figueiredo. Diacho De Dor, Alarme Falso and Dona Flor E Seus Dois Maridos stand out but all in all a great listen.

What a treat here with a firm Antonio Carlos E Jocafi favorite pressed as forty five. Great stuff by the Brazilian duo. Flispide with Terceiro Ato. Top shape copy in company sleeve, small writing on label.

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...

This album just does not get the attention it deserves. Claus Ogerman production and Jobim on excellent form it blends brazilian traditionals and jazz in a unusual but worthwhile way. Listen to Boto for an idea of dir...

Samba action for days here coutersy of Aparecida joined by famous accordionist Sivuca and a who's who of Rio's finest from the fields of samba and forro. Brazilian original on CID with record in straight EX condition,...

Upbeat samba single release with the hilarious flipside O Boi your best bet, Mandei A Saudade is more on a mellow note. Clean EX condition, sticker on label. EMI company sleeve included.

Rare solo output by famous leader of the Baiano & Os Novos Caetanos. Both sides soulful sunshine folk straight out of Rio de Janiero. Superb EX condition in RCA company sleeve.
