Seller is a longtime collector of vinyl and analog tape recordings of Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Stan Getz, Antônio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, Vinicius de Moraes, Norman Gimbel, Sergio Mendes, Sergio Mendes Trio, Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘65, Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘66, and Sergio Mendes collaborations.

As well he’s a collector of bossa nova, especially Jobim, Getz and Gilberto side projects with a bossa nova theme, numerous compilations, remixes, contemporary sampling uses & mash-ups, as well film soundtracks that included samba & bossa nova, and extensive research of the film, video, print, radio recordings and other material related to this legendary recording, “Getz/Gilberto”.

Seller has a collection of over 300 bossa nova LPs, early Brazilian samba / jazz fusion, and is the

producer of the upcoming numbered-edition

box set titled “The Best of The Girl From Ipanema”.

(The song also known as Garota de Ipanema, La Chica de Ipanema, etc.)

The box set is slated to be released on vinyl and on CD only. Unless there’s a change in plans, this box set will not be available as a download, MP3 or any other formats. (Sorry, not available on cassette or 8-track tapes, though there’s been talk of releasing a reel-to-reel edition.)

A documentary film about the making-of the box set will be produced in association with Les Blank Films, CineStudio(São Paulo), and Som e Imagem, (Rio/São Paulo). It’s a tale of the adventures in collecting vintage vinyl records, and in defense of the song. As one music critic put it...

“The wondrous Girl From Ipanema... Such a classic tune, so worthy of recognition... the musicologist who gathered the dozens of arrangements deserves great admiration for his grand homage to this legendary bossa nova hit, and for his celebration of the composers, the lyricists, both in Portuguese, and in English... and in numerous other foreign-language versions (including Spanish, French, Japanese, Italian, German, etc.).”

”Kudos to the producer of this box set, for his dedicated research, collecting, and thoughtful archiving... Such a cool and noble honorarium of the many arrangers and performers, from the original version, to the plethora of cover versions...

...from those covers that are wonderfully good to others which are painfully unbearable! It’s great to have heard some sample tracks of the instrumental and vocal versions.

The review version, rough-edit, test box set gifted my ears with some excellent listening. Oh, about those bad versions... worry not, they are so-bad-they’re-good!”

“It restores my faith in musicologists. The box set producer has liberated The Girl From Ipanema from the elevators and department stores’ Muzakian, mood-enhancing, retail hypnosis usage, and returned it to the people. This project is a lovely celebration for bossa nova fans new and old.

Nice crate digging man!”
