Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during a brief period in New York, this exceptionally pristine solo acoustic session highlights the staggering virtuosity of one of bossa nova's foundational architects. The guitarist seamlessly integrates complex classical techniques with driving, highly syncopated samba rhythms without the aid of any accompanying instruments. The intimately captured recording served as a crucial, highly sophisticated introduction to the evolving Brazilian aesthetic for international audiences.
