10"

Limited Edition 10" collection of ultra-rare Brazilian tracks from 50s and 60's- curated by Nicola Conte. Italian jazz man Nicola Conte is internationally known for his sophisticated productions on labels such as Blue Note and Universal, as well as touring the world with his floor-shaking DJ sets.The passion and knowledge that Conte brings to the DJ booth is perfectly represented in this Viagem 10", the fourth volume of a five-part vinyl only series, curated by Conte and dedicated to bringing some of the rarest and most sought after samba jazz and bossa gems to a new generation of record collectors. The majority of these tracks have only seen the light of the day on small 7" runs in 1960s Brazil and they're next to impossible to find unless you're willing to part with some serious cash.This volume kicks off with As Meninas' infectious 'Rondo Sambao', playful subtropical samba stroke bossa that takes so many turns in its short cycle that it leaves you breathless, the sweet vocals and whistles alongside the shaking percussion will have you smiling wide and swinging to a beat that runs throughout 'Viagem 2'. Elsewhere, Claudia's 'Deixa O Morro Cantar' delivers big brass and a soaring vocal to a chant that demands we leave alone the girl singing sad songs from the mountains. This collection is full of atmosphere and history, a glorious vintage trip through the steamy samba joints and grooving jazz clubs of Rio and Sau Paulo, amounting to a nostalgic journey deep into the lost sonics of Brazil's musical history and jazz identity. Viagem 2 is an essential addition to any connoisseur's collection and brings to the listener an unparalleled experience of music that inspired the foundation of Far Out Recordings."The tracks are much more than "tunes". They are proper compositions with arrangements. That is to say: substantial harmonic colour, richly voiced chords, changes of key, myriad parts for rhythm section, horns and voices, and a strong sense of narrative. They are short stories that are long on ideas. If the marriage of jazz and Brazilian music is one made in heaven, then this is a set of sophisticated yet earthy wedding songs of the highest order."

2015 RSD item! Recordings from 2004 to 2011 in Los Angeles & London. Now available on vinyl for the very first time! In 2011 Hit+Run released the first beat tape by Kutmah entitled "Closure" [HNR15]. The legendary 12-song album consisted of tracks recorded between 2004 - 2011 in Los Angeles as well as his recently transplanted home of London. The cover art was pulled from his collection of drawings made while in US federal detainment, which was later turned into a traveling art show and accompanying book entitled "Two Soups And A Honeybun". In 2015, after the success of last year's vinyl reissue of Kutmah's "Black Wave Tapes" series, HIT+RUN has decided to press up "Closure" on limited-edition vinyl for the very first time [HNR15LP]. The 20-minute record consists of 9-tracks from the original album, all pressed on 10" opaque red wax, plus housed in a one-of-a-kind screenprinted jacket made by Hit+Run in Los Angeles."
