Simply one of the best

"One of the premier jazz recordings out of Brazil in the late '60s, this has been a long time arriving in CD format while other CTI recordings received quick translations.
If you've never heard this quartet, you need to. It did for Brazilian music then what Suba did for it in the past decade."

Nice to see an old friend on CD

"As a serviceman on Okinawa in the late 60's I spent what was to me a fortune on a Japanese pressing of this album. Bossa Nova has always appealed to me in part because the musicians can make powerful music that can also be shamelessly beautiful.
This album features O Morro which is a rich and unusually challenging piece of music for listeners used to music that makes them feel like they are on a beach somewhere.
Kudos to Verve for bringing it back. Highly recommended. Now how about Samba Blim?"

The Afro-Brazilian gods of the sea and storms are appeased

"The Afro-Brazilian gods of the sea and storms are appeased by this musical offering. Lemanja (track 3) with its fishermen's chanted hymns is a must-hear. Bossa Nova at its best!"
