Review by analogue October 18, 2013 (3 of 4 found this review helpful)
Performance:   Sonics:
The 60's was the rage for the Brazilian Bossa Novva jazz movement and this album exemplifies some of what was so popular. With a tad over 28 minutes of music this newly remastered Shm Sacd is cost prohibitive. And yet I still felt satisfied when it was over. Perhaps it would of outlived its welcome if it was longer.

The recording from 1965 is a very good one. This SHm Sacd is a wonderful listen and it captures the wonder Brazilian rhythms and percussion perfectly.
It has has great string arrangements by Marty Paich who was a terrific band leader. The sound stage, bass, percussion. her distinct vocals and instrumentation are all top notch ..as is the usual norm for the very best Shm Sacds. And this is one of them.

The tape source was in very good condition with nary a worn spot to be heard. The lush, dense quality of the session is rendered as good as could be hoped for. There is a nice saturated feel of the sound quality here. Rich and full is the overall quality of these types of recordings.

Highly recommended.
Not much more to say.

An excellent Shm Sacd.
