Description
Joining these four men in their realization of modern bossa and samba are drummers Billy Hart and Grady Tate, percussionists Airto, Ray Armando, and Ruben Bassini, bassist Steve Swallow, pianist Albert Daily, and Heliosoa Buarque de Hollanda singing the English vocals as a fill-in for Astrud Gilberto – who was not invited to join this session and would have declined if she were. The most beautiful thing about this recording is that Jobim – whose song forms had reached such a degree of sophistication that he was untouchable – chose to write all of his lyrics in English…This is something that did not come naturally or effortlessly to Jobim, but sounds as if it did.” – All Music Guide
