Title: terrific presentation, great recording, a little square though!
Review: okay, bossa nova was the rage when Harnell released this recording. But it is a lot of fun in a hokey way. Some very "straight" musicians did their best to swing hard and the results are admirable. The recording techinque (Kapp Records...can you believe it??!) is top shelf. The darned recording is infectious and will leave you with a smile! The only curiosity is the jacket design. It is not the original I had, which is similar to the second volume of this recording, showing drawings on the cover. So this must be some other country's original 1963 cover. So be it. Fun for casual listening or a cocktail party.
