Wonderful Brasilian fusion / vocal jazz produced by George Duke. Line up is strong with Ndugu, Joe Farrell and obviously Airto. Sarara is great and so is Nascimento's From The Lonely Afternoon and Mtume's Love Lock. U...

Rare and essential Maria Creuza release with what I rate as one of her finest moments in Ossain, a seriously deep Brasilian vocal jazz piece. The album also holds other recommeded treats in De Donde Vienes and Que Loc...

Completely off the radar offering here by Veloso's less famous sister. She kicks off with a typical mellow MPB 80s sound (enjoyabe but a little dull at times) but then drops the killer Rio De Janeiro that has all the ...

This is the German pressing of his 10 Anos Depois with indentical track listing. Lots and lots of clubby tunes here with Mas Que Nada, Cosa Nostra, A Minha Menina Kind of a medley styled record but works well. Strong ...

Essential Jorge Ben release with Pais Tropical, Taj Mahal, Os Alquimistas and obviously his famous dancer Mas Que Nada. Plenty of goodies for playing out. Rare US original on Island in strong VG+ condition.

Hard not to like Sergio Mendes with wonderful takes of Mas Que Nada, Agua De Beber and Triste. German pressing with alternate cover art. VG+ condition, vinyl very close to EX.

Second and last album release by Sergio Mendes proteges that stays true to his classic bossa nova adaption of international sellers like Spinning Wheel but this LP also holds two cracking covers of Jorge Ben in Zazuer...

Mastermind composer and arranger Lalo Schifrin is back in Rio and the result is an exceptional bossa nova / bossa jazz record. Highlight are a brilliant version of Jobim's Samba De Uma Nota So, Ouca and Boato but it i...

Mega rare Brasilian 60s release with some fine spiritual vibes from carnival season but not the typical soundscape of carneval in Rio. Pretty unique stuff on a label (Mocambo) I have never seen before. Writing on labe...

Old news that Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer loved his Bossa Nova and even in the early days of Saba he was keen to record some of Brazils finest talents. All quality here but highlights are Sylvia Telles's Dicussao and Ed...

Heavy funk monster that has grail status written all over it. Seriously rare and seriously funky. Harlem Dreams on the flip is also a nice upbeat mover. As an added bonus, the 45 is pressed significantly louded than t...

Brilliant double sider with both tracks not on the Joe Quarterman & Free Soul album. With 'No' on the flip, it is a little hard to decide on a favorite cut but take a listen to I'm Gonna Get You for starters. Stunning...

Funk masterpiece that is guaranteed to cause head nodding and action on the floor. Charles Wright And The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band original Warner Brothers 45 is a stone cold classic that everyone should have. C...

Off the radar organ soul dancer that provides everything the title suggest. Pretty hard find on Tangerine Records. Superficial lines but all soft, some light distortion at intro but wear off pretty quickly (check the ...

Obviously a rock unit but Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds pulls off a pretty solid funk instrumental that grooves very nicely. Nothing rare, but a good track in NM condition.

Heavy funk on Mainstream with breakbeat drums, funky wah wah guitar and all the perfect ingredients for creating a collectable funk forty five. Please note that this copy has several marks that looks bad and causes so...

Although election times are over in the US this political novelty 45 on Mainstream is a pretty fun pick. Great little DJ item for your next play out 45s only election party or mixtape.
