Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Laurindo Almeida built a U.S. career after leaving Brazil, carrying bossa nova and classical guitar language into rooms that often treated Brazilian music as a novelty.
- Scene Ecology: The record captures the early-60s American bossa nova wave, when jazz guitarists were translating Brazilian rhythm for U.S. lounge, jazz, and hi-fi audiences.
- Studio Lore: Pairing Ellis, Byrd, and Almeida made the album a guitar conversation rather than a normal band date, built around touch, rhythm, and cross-cultural 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).
