Shmuel Brazil

I've came across the name Shmuel Brazil as the composer of a setting for Shalom
Aleichem.
Can any list member comment on the following post to this list about 10 (!)
years ago?
"Rav Shmuel is a Rebbe in Far Rockaway NY at the Yeshiva Sha'ar Yoshuv. I've
been going to his Friday night tishes for Baruch H' Yisborach, over ten years,
thank G-d. Rav Shmuel is also a composer of nigunnim - you may have sung his
Shalom Aleichem melody many times without knowing who's it was. His CDs are
under the name "Regesh", 1 - 9 and his latest,
"Shuvu El Hashem" is Chasidus/Deveikus par excellence and under his name. It
just came out this year."
Any recommendations for his recordings or compositions? Any recommendations
for sources of his recordings? None came up on searches for "Brazil" (or
"Regesh", with which he was apparently involved) at either the Hatikvah Music
or Tara website.
BTW, versions of this Shalom Aleichem appear on "Shabbat for Starters" by Mayer
Davis and, apparently, "Songs for the Soul -- Nefesh" by Merri Lovinger Arian
(which I haven't heard).
