Title: A truely touching record
Review: while many other bossa nova albums are tinged with an influence of commercialism and strings, this album is a diamond. unlike many other bossa nova albums, this album features all great players, all who seem to have a very good understanding and knowledge of the music. some of the others albums, such as jazz samba, feel like a jazz take on brazil, which can be good if you wnat that, but this music is true bossa nova, while bringing jazz influencess, Getz fits in perfectly into this extremely different category of music.As for laurindo almieda, all i can say is wow, what a sadly overlooked figure in bossa nova, and guitar music in general. hes soloing is smart, mature, and playfull, bringing out the best in getz and and company.Out of every Getz or Bossa Nova album, get this one and Stan Getz with Luiz Bonfa: Jazz Samba Encore, two of the most touching albums i have ever heard in my whole life. buy them together!!-ian
