While the connection between jazz and Brazilian music has become commonplace, it is important to note that this album inaugurated the fruitful meeting between jazz and bossa nova. So this is a plea to listen to this music, rather than just putting it on and going about some other activity. Getz was a consummate soloist, but the band he had behind him – Byrd, Gene Byrd, Keter Betts, Bill Reichenbach, Buddy Depperschmidt – are also completely invested in this music. Its quality is unquestionable.
