The record

1962 bossa nova

ST-1759

plays amazing, super clean, amazing music

Recorded in Los Angeles during the early Bossa Nova craze, this album brings together Brazilian-jazz guitar pioneer Laurindo Almeida and U.S. session heavyweights like Bud Shank and Bob Cooper to blend samba rhythms with cool jazz sophistication. A landmark of cultural fusion, Viva Bossa Nova! helped introduce American audiences to Brazilian soundscapes through lush string and rhythm arrangements—an essential artifact of 1960s musical exchange.

    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).
