De Novo - L.A. Transit
De Novo - L.A. Transit
Japan Original Pressing. Extremely hard to find.
Urban Brazilian crossover with West Coast finesse, soft-focus sophistication, and real player depth.
De Novo works best when it is framed not as light fusion, but as a beautifully played urban Brazilian record with serious pedigree behind it. With Yutaka Yokokura shaping the arrangements and players such as Oscar Castro-Neves, Tom Scott, and Abraham Laboriel in the credits, the album carries a smooth West Coast feel, but the real strength is in how naturally MPB, bossa, and crossover musicianship are held together. It is elegant and easy on the ear, but never anonymous.

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
