About this product
Vinyl LP pressing. Marcos Valle's career started with the end of bossa nova. A lifelong surfer of swells, he expertly rode out the final wave of the waning international fad, landing in the U.S. for a short stay before returning to Brazil to continue his career. A proud Carioca (Rio de Janeiro resident), Valle couldn't stay away from his beloved hometown. This seminal artist is no stranger to Los Angeles, though. Back in the mid-to- late sixties he recorded a solo album (Samba '68) and was a featured member of an early, short-lived line-up with Sergio Mendes right before he landed the Brasil '66 deal with A&M records. He would try his luck in the U.S. again a decade later, spending a half-dozen years here, mostly in L.A. where he befriended members of Chicago and developed a prolific songwriting partnership with R&B journeyman Leon Ware. Valle never recorded his own music during those years, though. This historic collaboration with Jazz Is Dead's Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge marks the first time he has recorded music in the U.S. in nearly 50 years. Younge and Shaheed Muhammad started by mining Valle's back catalog for direction and inspiration. Unlike a number of artists of his stature, Valle is still actively recording and releasing music, but Marcos Valle JID003 is different from all of his others. If spontaneity and improvisation are trademarks of jazz music, then this album stands out in the maestro's lengthy discography as the closest thing to a jazz album. Valle impressed Shaheed Muhammad with his professionalism and confidence in this new environment with limited time to capture the music 'Marcos is so focused on getting it right, he sat down in the moment and wrote some lyrics about what was actually happening, and that's how free and open he is.'

Hyldon, Brazil's highly revered vocalist, musician and producer, has partnered with Adrian Younge to create a new psychedelic soul album, HYLDON JID023. The duo, highly inspired by Hyldon's seminal work in the '60s and '70s, revisits' the spirit of this epoch while creating a modern-day classic. Hyldon's unique voice and lyrical depth, combined with Younge's innovative analog production, ensures this album will not be forgotten. JID023 is one of the last recordings featuring Hyldon's long-time collaborator and friend, the late drummer Ivan InchMamaoInch Conti of Azymuth. Hyldon, a musical pioneer and early contributor to the InchBlack RioInch movement is a genius in synthesizing the sounds of MPB, Tropicália and Black American R&B. His unique voice, coupled with his rich arrangements and laid-back grooves set him apart from the contemporaries of the time. In '75, his remarkable debut album, Na Rua, Na Chuva, Na Fazenda changed the sound of Brazil forever. Hyldon's earnest and experimental approach in creating that album served as the inspiration for Younge's production on the new JID023. Months before Mamão's untimely passing, Adrian Younge and Hyldon invited the legendary drummer to join them at Younge's Linear Labs studio in Los Angeles. Mamão and Hyldon shared a rich musical history - Azymuth, Mamão's group, served as the rhythm section for much of Hyldon's work, including his iconic 1975 LP, Na Rua, Na Chuva, Na Fazenda. Their goal was ambitious to craft an album that would stand alongside Hyldon's finest achievements, one that would captivate fans who love his unique blend of psychedelic and soulful InchMúsica Brasileira.Inch The result is nothing short of remarkable.InchProducing a Hyldon album was a dream come true. I've studied his catalog for so many years and highly respect the way he mixed the sound of The Beatles, with that of Marvin Gaye and Tim Maia. I'
