Sheila E's first album (here with her father) is a wonderful latin Jazz Funk fest. These two magnificent percussionists gathered a great bunch of session jammers including Bill Summers and Billy Cobham who also produced this balanced beauty. Expect tightness that works on the heart and feet!!

Never judge a record by it's cover is something like my credo. This one is a nice example for the opposite. A wonderful record in a wonderful sleeve. Expect tightest Jazz-Funk with south american flavour!

Condition: NM/G+

Never judge a record by it's cover is something like my credo. This one is a nice example for the opposite. A wonderful record in a wonderful sleeve. Well, that sleeve here in my hand is not in a wonderful condition. It has a waterstained corner down right and a repaired sticker right above that (see pics), but hey - that makes it more affordable. The record plays GREAT and that's what it's all about.

Style: Brazil not Brazil

Format: LP
Label: Private

Year: 198?

Condition: VG-/VG+

A private and almost completely unknown gem recorded in Germany and released in Brazil. Favela is a half brazillian, half german band and they play a digi mix of deep and folky MPB and Capoeira music. Everytime I hear the record this "I Go To Brazil" hook stays for the rest of the day... this is not the nicest copy and I will include a rip of my NM keeper.

Style: Nueva Trova

Format: LP
Label: Areito

Year: 1982

Condition: NM/VG+

Delicious food for ever so bored ears. Rodríguez is one o the main figures in Nueva Trova that you could roughly describe as the revolutionary brother of traditional cuban songs. I do not understand spanish, but I do understand these trunes and they amaze me a lot. Especially that bloody Nueva Fusion nugget Son Desangrado that I call the top of the pops here.

Style: Dramatic Tango Jazz

Format: LP
Label: Tropical (ger)

Year: 1977

Condition: NM/VG+  

Change the blinkers for castagnets* and dive into this unique sound.

I dare to call this an unbelievably good album by a group of masters:

Astor Piazzolla - bandoneon, 

Amaldo Ciato & Sante Palumbo - piano & organ,

Hugo Heredia - flute, 

Gigi Cappellotto - bass, 

Tullio de Piscopo  - drums & percussion, 

Sergio Farina - guitar -

basically the who's who in italian jazz plus A. P.

If you need your ears opened, here's the key!

Condition: NM/VG+  woc

Signed copy of the Walkband's second and in my opinion best album. That might explain why it's so much harder to find their first. This album her goes a bit deeper than Suerte. Of course it's including those latin jazzrock tunes that you want to hear from a Latin Jazzrock combo, but they also have these more spiritual (in terms of jazz) and deep tunes like Peace and My Kind Of Raga this time...
