Quarteto Novo – Quarteto Novo 1967 Odeon (S)MFOB 3505 EU Reissue 2008 EMI – 5099921674624 Holy hell somebody grab a fire extinguisher because this record cooks so much it started a grease fire and may burn your whole house down.

Herbie Mann Do The Bossa Nova 1962 Atlantic 1397 Mono pressing Before bossa nova became the semiotic index for the synthetic happiness of mass consumer culture and alienation (and long before it was featured in the supermarkets and the Commander’s dinner parties in the current adaptation of A Handmaid’s Tale), bossa nova was  associated with the cool and cosmopolitan, with goatee-sporting hep cats like Herbie Mann.  For this record, he went to Rio and actually recorded with a bunch of the leading lights of the movement, which sets this apart from a lot of the contemporary North American jazz-bossa crossovers […]
