The record
Title: Laurindo Almeida – Guitar From Ipanema
Year/Genre: 1965, Bossa Nova/Jazz
Matrix #: ST-2197
Condition: NM
Description:
Released in 1965 on Capitol Records, Guitar From Ipanema reflects Brazilian guitarist Laurindo Almeida’s role in bringing bossa nova into dialogue with American jazz traditions. Almeida, originally from São Paulo, had already established himself in Los Angeles as a film and session guitarist while recording his own explorations of Latin jazz. This album came at the height of the bossa nova craze, just after the international success of “The Girl from Ipanema,” and shows how Brazilian harmonic sophistication could be adapted for U.S. audiences. For collectors, it represents a meeting point between Hollywood studio polish and the subtle rhythmic vocabulary of Brazil’s most enduring musical export.

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).
