Marcos Valle, Adrian Younge, & Ali Shaheed Mohammad - Marcos Valle

Marcos Valle is no stranger to Los Angeles. Back in the mid- to late '60s, he recorded a solo album (Samba '68) and was a featured member of an early, shortl-lived lineup with Sergio Mendes right before he landed the Brasil '66 deal with A&M Records.

He returned to the U.S. again a decade later, spending a half-dozen years here, mostly in L.A. where he befriended the dudes from Chicago and developed a prolific songwriting partnership with R&B journeyman Leon Ware.

Bizarrely, he never recorded his own music during those years, so this Jazz Is Dead collaboration with Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge is the first music he's recorded in the states in nearly 50 years.
