Brasilian Thoroughfare is a highly recommended foray into Brasilian jazz.
My favourite cut is Catch Up by Onkel Joe and Sunbirds by Naima. This is
THE BEST!

Also check out a new CD from Ubiquity titled Feelin' Good. Light breezy
bossa. Simply beautiful.

And I can't stress enough...Reminiscence Quartet.

Also get your hands on a good compilation titled Dimensione Jazz.

Other faves - Mondo Grosso, Soul Bossa Trio, Paulinho Da Costa, Airto,
Marcos Valle, and Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Also, Joey, if you're there - Caeser told me that there's this new night at
the Niagara (yes, the Niagara) called "Gin 'n Sin". It's a lounge night
with suit and tie dress code. They are big on Esquivel and Sinatra...wanna
go? It's on Wednesday Nights.
