I’ve been beavering away behind the scenes here, and will be releasing a snazzy ‘browse’ interface to this weblog in the near future. For a sneak peek, see http://www.psychedelicado.com/blog/browserecords.php. Now that’s nearly finished, I’ll be able to get back to writing about and listening to music again…

Sergio Mendes & Bossa Rio: 'Você Ainda Não Ouviu Nada!' (CD; Universal; 1963)
Show Details

I couldn't resist picking up this sumptously packaged and remastered disc today. It's a classic instrumental samba jazz record; understated, but perfectly performed. More on this soon, but it seems as if Universal/Dubas in Brazil have just reissued several interesting albums, all of which are available at a reasonable price.
