Joe Claussell Joe Claussell/Kerri Chandler "Escravos De Jo" (Ibadan)
Based around one of Milton Nascimento's wonderful melodies and hooked up to Kerri and Joe's irresistible rolling Baiao groove, with freestyle guitar adding extra organic flavour, this is the sound of conscious NYC. Dance floor deliverance from the spiritual lifers

Milton Nascimento -- Milagre Dos Peixes . . . LP . . . $24.99
Odeon (Brazil), 1974
One of Milton Nascimento's darker LPs, with a great set of tracks that have a deep rock feel to them, yet which maintain all of the soulful spirit that was in Nascimento's earlier recordings. The musicians include Nelson Angelo, Toninho, Paulo Moura, Wagner Tiso, and Nana Vasconcelos, and the tracks include "Milagre Dos Peixes", "Pablo", "A Chamda", "Os Escravos De Jo", and "Sacramento". Knock out stuff, and the title track alone is worth the price of the package to us. But if that's not enough, this is the original six panel fold-out that makes a big oval portrait of the young Milton. It also has a separate colored sheet of paper with the lyrics and credits for EACH song. Yowza...that's a package!
