Title: Among Getz'z best Bossa Nova albums!
Review: Among the very best of Getz's Bossa Nova work, Getz w/ Guest Artist Laurindo Almeida is sadly overlooked by most fans who pick up Jazz Samba and Getz/Gilberto. Wholly instumental, like Jazz Samba, but with a mellower, more cool jazz, less driving feel. Exquisite and beautiful all the way through; Almeida-penned cuts like "Winter Moon" and "Maracatu-Too" really stand out.It's puzzling why this one is so often missed by fans - though the fact that the title and cover art are so distinct from the other Bossa Nova albums might figure into it, as is that it came at the end (1966) of Getz's work in the style. Don't miss it, or the sublime Jazz Samba Encore (1963) either! I listen to both far more often than Getz/Gilberto.
