Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded in Los Angeles for Blue Note Records, the legendary Brazilian composer and arranger's brilliant debut for the label is a lush, highly sophisticated fusion of traditional samba rhythms and dense, orchestral jazz-funk. Utilizing top-tier American session players, the complex, highly rhythmic horn arrangements and gentle vocal choruses capture the elegant, rhythmic sophistication that profoundly influenced an entire generation of Brazilian musicians.
