A year after Os Tatuís, José Bertrami returned to the studio, this time stripping back to a trio. Again featuring Claudio Henrique Bertrami on double bass, and with Jovito Coluna on drums, the José Roberto Trio recorded their one and only album in 1966, featuring compositions by Baden Powell, Manfredo Fest, and Marcos Valle. The LP also featured three of Betrami’s own compositions: the wistful Lilos Watts, the groovy Kebar, and the dazzling Talhuama.
Another jewel from the golden age of the Brazilian bossa jazz trio — Bossa Três, Milton Banana Trio, Tenório Jr,,  Bertrami’s own Bossa Jazz Trio — ushered in by the Tamba Trio, and nourished along the way by jazz greats from Nat King Cole to Bill Evans,

From a short stack of 45s we bought in Algiers fifteen years ago.
Wonderful music from Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, and the Lebanon;
This is shop stock, so the vinyl is in VG+ condition or better; the beautiful sleeves are a little worn and crumpled from their decades of shelf life.

A trippy, littoral compilation of blissed-out folk-funk, Balearic, AOR, and softly fizzing electronica, from long-forgotten early 70s cassettes, right up to date.
