Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing rapidly on the American craze for Brazilian music, the popular flautist traveled directly to Rio de Janeiro to record with authentic native musicians. The breezy, rhythmic improvisations blend perfectly with the laid-back, syncopated acoustic guitar foundations. The album functioned as a highly successful commercial bridge between jazz pop audiences and authentic bossa nova pioneers.
