What's New
Welcome! We've added another recommended album to our Beyond Brazil section. It's Let the Good Times Roll by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Jazz Ensemble 1. We have complete information plus a sample track. That section now features 298 albums we recommend from the world of music beyond Brazil, nearly all with sample tracks. Recent additions include Music Soup Organ Trio's Upbeat Mood; Jazz is My Lifestyle by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Gunhild Carling and her big band; Maria Schafer's Here for You; and Pony Boy All-Star Big Band's This is Now. At the top of our New Releases section is Carol Saboya's Outro Tom: Canções de Antonio Adolfo. We have all the details and a sample track. That section features 191 Brazilian music albums, all with sample tracks. Recent additions include Enrico Granafei's It's Hard to Say Goodbye with special guests Claudio Roditi and Mike Longo; Livio Almeida's Brasília Sessions; Paula Maya's Rio de Janeiro; and Antonio Adolfo's Love Cole Porter. 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 albums, features on 38 Beyond Brazil albums, interviews, tributes to musicians and composers, and much more. Thanks for visiting this website. We hope you'll take a little time to explore our features, listen to some sample tracks, and dig into our archives (you can always return to this page by clicking on our logo at the top of every page). And if you like what you find here, please tell your friends about it. Thanks!
