Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1963, Jazz, Bossa Nova, Los Angeles, California
Matrix #: ST-1946

Cultural Facts:
-
Scene Ecology: Almeida was a key bridge between Brazilian guitar tradition and U.S. studio jazz—one of the first Brazilian artists to build a long, working career inside the American recording system.
-
Media Narrative: The early-60s bossa nova boom became a U.S. cultural fashion wave—part genuine musical exchange, part “cool” marketing tied to jet-age modernity.
-
Personal Struggle: Almeida later battled serious illness and died from complications of cancer in 1995 after decades of constant session work and touring.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
