I highly reccommend fans check out Soul Jazz's Elenco compilation: Brazil Bossa Beat! for some rawer, wider ranging and satisfying Brazilian tunes (On LP of course!) : <br /><br />http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/releases/?id=22385<br /><br />Also great: tropicalia: panis et circus, Elis & Tom (1974), Clube Da Esquina 1, Joao Gilbert Agua De MarcoLukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862613444463365394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-79595883803343110912011-09-25T15:54:11.329-07:002011-09-25T15:54:11.329-07:00on this episode of Seinfeld, Newman and Kramer try...on this episode of Seinfeld, Newman and Kramer try to sell some of Jerry's old records in a shop in Greenwich village, which include Don Ho: Live At Honolulu, Jerry Vale Sings Italian Love Songs and some Sergio Mendes (all of which you probably scored in a church basement), and for the huge pile of vinyls, the discerning salesman, thinking they are total squares, offers 5$, to which Kramer responds: "Wait, wait, wait... Sergio Mendes has a cult following! That guy can't even go to the bathroom in South America!" always thought it was a funny line. totally made sense Kramer would being into that guy, with the 90s lounge revival and all... i do keep seeing his records in thrift shops, maybe i'll pick up one next time! thanks, G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-23210757183019720742011-09-23T18:28:35.734-07:002011-09-23T18:28:35.734-07:00Have you ever heard of the Unsupervised?

The derision has many names.<br /><br />Despite 'lounge music' having a bit of a renaissance a few years back I'm still mocked for listening to this. But nothing else really does work as sophisticated, lightweight music for a party. I like to play Esquivel, or George Shearing for that late 1950's atmosphere. Or maybe the Getz/Gilberto album on a balmy night when it spills onto the balcony.Roger v.d.
