    This is lovely but basic stuff, you know. What do you want exactly? Are you searchin' for brazilian things in the same mood or trying something different?

    Good, but probably I could not help you to find "cheap" records, because most of the good brazilian stuff is really high-priced, because many of the classics are still not reedited. But I'll give you three links of three albums which I think are brilliant, and I think you'll enjoy.

    First two are not reedited an are up to 300$, but third you will find it reedited on CD around 40$.


    This will help you to discover another artist/bands. I also reccommend you an album by Charlie Byrd called 'Brazilian Byrd' which I think you will also enjoy a lot, very easy tempo and it's easy to find and cheap. It has one of my favourite covers of 'Garota (Girl) de Ipanema'.

    You pretty much can't go wrong with any of the Astrud Gilberto LPs from the 60s and 70s -- some of which are always available and always cheap.

    Even the early Sergio Mendes stuff is pretty damn good.

    But, Brazilian music is sorta the one genre where often times the pricier stuff is pricey bc it's that good, not just bc it's "rare". I recommend coming out of pocket a little more than you're used to for some good bossa -- you won't regret it. The early Valle LPs are all complete face melters, highly highly highly recommended.

    Perfect late night Bossa:

    The music doesn't start until :52. I think Eumir Deodato was about 20 when he did the arrangements for this. Jobim said "Eumir Deodato is not only the perfect bridge engineer which all arrangers should be, but also the creator and poet which all arrangers must be."

    "Enquanto A Tristeza Nao Vem" from the Sergio Augusto LP sabadabada posted is such an incredible piece of music. I could listen on a loop for hours.

    Equally, I would recommend Gal e Caetano Veloso "Domingo", if only for the fact it contains one of my favourite (although criminally short) Brazillian tunes, "Onde Eu Nasci Passa Um Rio"...

    Lately I can't stop listening to this. The whole LP is fantastic, even by early Elenco standards. But this song in particular.

  • sabadabadasabadabada 5,966 Posts
    And Menescal. I've been listening to a lot of Menescal.

    Bossa nova was really overwhelming, like a girl with three pussies - Tom Ze


    Hey Strider.. last year I made a compilation for my friends called Saudades. To get them interested in Brazillian music. I think the Megaupload link still works. If you're interested:

    One of my absolute favorites is Vinicius de Moraes. He was more of a lyricist but nonetheless absolutely essential to the scene and worked with all the heavy hitters. The album "Os Afro Sambas" he cut w/ Baden Powell is so gorgeous, and considered a classic. if you can try to cop the original version not the one w/ only Powell.

    A fascinating character too. In addition to being a poet, he was also Brazilian diplomat until he had some differences with the military dictatorship. Afterward he continued to be politically outspoken. He was also a raging alcoholic and was famous for the saying (roughly) "Whiskey is bottled dog, man's best friend"

    Lalo Schifrin had a big orchestra for his bossa nova albums and used it well:



    There are only about 100 versions of Upa Neguinho to download and compare here:

    This record is on ebay right now for $30.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRASIL-BOSSA-NOVA-ORQUESTA-MODERNA-DE-CAMARA-BRAZIL-EX-LP-/190720684070?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item2c67d6b026



    Sill one of my all-time favorites. Nilser release featuring Nilo Sergio and Ed Lincoln. Very nice bossa nova lp. Someone should grab it. It's easily a $100 record.

    Congrats. Its such a great LP. Very delicate, very sophisticated. Each track is two songs that meld one into the other. Its just such a wonderful underrecognized LP. I bought it probably 15 years ago, and still go to it constantly. I hope you like it.
  • pcmrpcmr 5,591 Posts
    i took a leap of faith because of your recommendation and the whole LP seems to scream sophistication
    i think that's bossa at its essence
    i can't wait as it has been a long time since i've had a new bossa LP really grab me
  • HorseleechHorseleech 3,830 Posts
    Are there any other Nilser's you recommend?

    I have the As Vedetes, sort of an Em Cy knockoff that's pretty cool, and the Bossa Nova Modern Quartet, which is also decent.
  • sabadabadasabadabada 5,966 Posts
    The Danca Romance LPs are not that great. Bossa Nova Quartet "Bossa Nova Jazz Samba" is very similar to Camera and is probably the same line up. The musicians are never credited. The only other one that is worth it, is the Rubens Basinni Latino Fantastico. Which is pretty awesome. I put together a list of Nilser releases awhile back as best I could.
