What's New
Welcome! We've added a new recommended album to our Beyond Brazil section. It's Foreign Affair Trio's Sous Le Vent. We have complete information and a sample track. That section now features 279 albums we recommend from the world of music beyond Brazil, nearly all with sample tracks. Recent additions include Håkon Skogstad's 8 Concepts of Tango; Tony Monaco Trio's Over and Over; Albare's Beyond Belief; and Lori Bell Quartet's Recorda Me: Remembering Joe Henderson. Our 31-minute feature on Felipe Salles' South American Suite is the latest addition to our Audio Archives section. It was originally broadcast May 7, 2008. When you visit the Archives, you can listen to extended features on 218 Brazilian music albums, features on 38 Beyond Brazil albums, interviews, tributes to musicians and composers, and much more. At the top of our New Releases section is Cliff Korman's piano solo album Bossas & Ballads. We have all the details plus a sample track. That section features 184 albums of Brazilian music, all with sample tracks. Recent additions include José Gobbo Trio's Current; Sarah McKenzie's Without You; Luiz Millan's Brazilian Match; and Diego Figueiredo's My World. Thanks for stopping at this website. We hope you'll spend a few minutes exploring our features, listening to some sample tracks, and digging into our archives (you can always return to this page by clicking on our logo at the top of every page). Finally, if you like what you find here, please tell your friends about it. Thanks!
