Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his monumental, genre-defining collaboration with Stan Getz on 'Jazz Samba', guitarist Charlie Byrd further explores the delicate intersection of jazz and Brazilian rhythms. Accompanied by a subtle orchestra and a tight rhythm section featuring Keter Betts, Byrd applies his virtuosic classical fingerpicking technique to an immaculate selection of Jobim standards. It remains a remarkably graceful, highly influential pillar of the American bossa nova craze.
