Title: Brazil and jazz = good stuff
Review: Mann gives us an incredibly smoothed-out old-school latin jazz workout much in the vein of his work at the time. This particular double-album CD is a steal not only at its price, but because the quality of the music on both records is so consistently good. Using his flute to guide the ambience and not simply to embellish it, the tracks are infectious bits of bachelor pad/martini napkin-wet coolness; so much so that even on tracks that burn-out a little ("Menina Feia" and "Voce E Eu" leap to mind) retain their essential Mann-ness. This double record is a great place to start with his fairly large catalogue.
