The Second Case of the Brazilian Mellow Madness

I am back this week with a swinging cruise ship boatload of guilty pleasures... it's the second installment of Brazilian Mellow Madness.

If you have no tolerance for yacht rock and 80s MTV slowjams, this episode may not be for you. Today I am indulging my sweet tooth for mellow music with vintage bossa, soul, samba-rock, and jazz-funk. This is music for summer lovers and boardwalk strollers, road trip meditations, and roller skate couples dancing. Give yourself over to the warm wave on today's Adventures.

The first hour kicks off with some clubby late 60s bossa groovers, then dabbles in American jazz covers before slipping into something more comfortable: 70s pop jazz so soft and smooth you won't notice you're wearing it.

Of course we rock a small set of slow jams at the top of the second hour... then I send out a lifejacket for millennials in the form of some uptempo (but still groove-licious) samba-rock to finish the set.
