JazzMando What's New - We are pleased to see in a recent online "Audiophile Audition (http://www.audaud.com/index.php)" special presentation, the mandolin very well represented in their "Brazilian Music Feature." Do a word search for "mandolin" in the 25 CD report and you'll find yourself quite busy clicking through some excellent documentation of the work of contemporary mandolinists Mike Marshall and Hamilton de Holanda's exhaustive work, including kudos to the enterprising "Adventure Music (http://www.adventure-music.com/)" label.

The article notes the (roughly) 50th anniversary of the "Bossa Nova Craze" introduced in Brazil by Moraes, Jobim and Gilberto, whose earliest recordings plus the soundtrack music of the 1959 film Black Orpheus migrated Bossa's popularity from South America northward.
