1. Yes, these records are still available. Most of these can be found on CD. LPs are a little harder to find but they are out there. I have picked up all of Stan Getz's Bossa records (and quite a few of Jobim's and Gilberto's) at used record stores in Boston and Cambridge. I also saw the Black Orpheus LP but I already have it on CD. You have to search a bit and visit these stores frequently. 2. I haven't mixed these songs with jungle or acid jazz--I just play them straight up! -=-=-= sigh...I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy sending an idm reply in from jen. :) tp
