Sessa’s new album Pequena Vertigem de Amor is another winner - improving on their 2022 record Estrela Acesa was a tall order, and they somehow managed to pull it off.
For folks who like the chill side of MPB and Verocai-esque arrangements, you will love this record

this movie is a fucking blast
some of the worst (best) dubbing i’ve ever experienced, but the fight choreography is LEGIT and features an unironically terrific performance by Billy Chong.
Hua Shan’s an underrated director, and makes some interesting cinematographic choices throughout

this picture was a long time in the making, props to Selva Discos for helping me complete the set this past weekend.
if you’re unfamiliar, all three albums are brilliant, some of the finest music to ever come out of Bahia and some of the most beautiful, haunting harmonies ever recorded

one of the biggest Jazz “what ifs” of all time
![Evans said that LaFaro had been "one of the most, if not the most outstanding talents in jazz." Legendary bassist Ray Brown added,
"This was one of the most talented youngsters I've seen come up in a long time. For his age, he really had it covered. ... It's a shame, really a shame. It's going to set the instrument back ten years." Motian noted, "We were supposed to make a record date with Miles [Davis]: the trio, Bill, myself and Scott... We were talking to Miles about it, it was all set up, and then Scott got killed and the whole thing got forgotten."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vojjkkjufw5yh2a5io5phtpq/bafkreianasuiyn5x2qx7qxczamzoafuc3te3ykcpwgbf4ytw6c22syoofq@jpeg)

what a joy revisiting a few of his albums tonight. it’s tough to overstate what an innovative composer Eddie Palmieri was.

treat yourself to this record tonight if you’re unfamiliar, one of the best albums of the 70s, any genre, IMO. socially conscious with insanely infectious grooves

went down a bossa jazz rabbithole tonight, ending here.
doesn’t necessarily go for huge dollars (especially compared to a lot of similar-sounding records from 65-66) but IMO it’s an absolute masterpiece.
love that the original 65 pressing was only on this translucent pink vinyl, such an odd quirk
