Worth a listen for the opening song alone...

Two albums that got lots of play at home.

The Airto track, Lucky Southern (written by Keith Jarrett),
was one of those tunes where I just had to transcribe the piano
solo for vibraphone because I was so utterly taken in by its expert
phrasing that I really wanted to learn it.

and, of course, Cal Tjader - best known for the Chano Pozo tune, Soul Sauce -
with his later album Amazonas and its João Donato title tune. Notice George Duke.

Vibraphone is so cool! Roy Ayers is probably my favorite american musician btw. I guess you should record this solo and post it here haha

I stumbled across this album a year or so ago while I was looking for something else. Japanese bossa nova that sounds convincing enough that it almost could have come right out of Brazil during the 1960's...

Very good indeed!

Well, as Brazil is the country with the largest japanese population outside Japan, no wonder there would be at least one nippo-brazilian Bossa Nova famous musician, and this is Lisa Ono. A singer who had a key role in popularizing Brazilian music in Japan:

"Lamp" is one of the latest bands in Japanese independent music scene which has Bossa as a major influence:

And the master Ryuichi Sakamoto also recorded with the Brazilian duo Jacques and Paula Morelenbaum a nice Bossa album called "Casa":

Japan is the second home of bossa nova which they have been performing and recording since the early 60s. In Japan, it is not unusual to walk into a bar on karaoke night and watch people sing bossa nova all night long. It's very popular. In fact, the Japanese have spread it to Korea and Vietnam. A great many Japanese bossa nova artists go to Brazil and vice-versa. A lot of Brazilian artists have learned to sing their songs in Japanese just in case they end up going to Japan. I don't how the pandemic has affected all that.
