Ocean56,

I gotta agree with you on this one. Mr. Gilbert was definitely suffering from a case of revieweritis on this one. Sure the song choices can seem a little unadventurous to those are familiar with Bossa Nova but to those unfamiliar with this lovely Brazilian music this CD is the prefect introduction. Not only will the music and performance on this CD give the listener instant gratification but it can (and hopefully, will) act as a good jumping off point for further exploration of the Bossa Nova catalog.

So keep on recommending it your friends and family, I know I will.

After decades with jazz, soul & latin music this is one of the best albums I've ever happened to come across.
I'm not the owner of this record - it owns me...
