Milton Nascimento - Sentinela (LP)
Ariola 201 610, 1980 Brazil Such talent Milton Nascimento and I like pretty much all his records. This late seventies recording is very laid back (great Sunday listen) but does have a few clubby tunes notably in Roupa Nova and the short but swee...

Pascal von Wroblewsky - Swinging Pool (LP)
Amiga 8 56 215 , 1986 Germany 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.

Luiz Caldas - Muito Obrigado (LP)
Polydor 837 634-1, 1988 Brazil 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.

Polydor 831 123-1, 1986 Germany 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...
