What's New
Welcome! We've added a new album to our Beyond Brazil section. It's guitarist Doug MacDonald's Sextet Session. We have all the details plus a sample track. That section now features 274 albums we recommend from the world of music beyond Brazil, nearly all with sample tracks. Recent additions include Standards Deluxe by The Rob Dixon/Steve Allee Quintet featuring Amanda King and Derrick Gardner; Rose Mallett's Dreams Realized; Antonio Gavrila's Tango Suite Buenos Aires; and Groove Street by the Dave Stryker Trio with Bob Mintzer. Cliff Korman's piano solo album Bossas & Ballads tops our New Releases section. We have complete information and a sample track. That section features 184 Brazilian albums, 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. Eliane Elias' Around the City is the latest addition to our Audio Archives section. Our 30-minute feature on the album was originally broadcast August 30, 2006. When you visit the Archives, you can listen to extended features on 217 Brazilian albums, features on 38 Beyond Brazil albums, interviews, tributes to musicians and composers, and much more. Thanks for checking out this website. We hope you'll take a few minutes 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).
