Original Baden Powell double LP - One of my favorites!

Custom cover made for the turntable from an old wool hospital quilt.

Jazz Samba series on Verve, circa 62'-63'

As you can see, the collection is still growing! Seems like albums are harder to find these days, but every once in a while, a good one will pop up at a thrift store or garage sale.

This week's mix is an hour of incredible historical Brazilian sound, smoothly mixed by sound master Biga. During my college years, his mixes fueled many parties in Florence and late night summer dance sessions.

"Som Barato" means "cool sound". If you like this mix, then you can tune int to Biga during his weekly show on the online radio station Ragnampiza.
