Album Notes & Community Reviews

A magnificent, late-career retrospective that revitalizes the legendary Afro-Brazilian composer's classic 1960s material. Supported by an incredible roster of modern Brazilian musicians, the album is a joyous, highly melodic celebration of complex samba-jazz arrangements and deeply passionate, acoustic musicianship.
