What's New
Welcome! We've added another recommended album to our Beyond Brazil section. It's Joe Syrian Motor City Jazz Octet's Secret Message. We have complete information and a sample track. That section now features 300 albums we recommend from the world of music beyond Brazil, nearly all with sample tracks. Recent additions include Steve Allee's Zebra Stories; Let the Good Times Roll by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Jazz Ensemble 1; Music Soup Organ Trio's Upbeat Mood; and Jazz is My Lifestyle by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Gunhild Carling and her big band. At the top of our New Releases section is Christmastime in Rio, the new Sunnyside Records album by Romero Lubambo and Pamela Driggs. We have all the details plus a sample track. That section features 193 Brazilian music albums, all with sample tracks. Other recent additions include Cliff Korman Trio's Urban Tracks; Carol Saboya's Outro Tom: Canções de Antonio Adolfo; Enrico Granafei's It's Hard to Say Goodbye with special guests Claudio Roditi and Mike Longo; and Livio Almeida's Brasília Sessions. 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.
