This fantastic recording from 1973 is beautiful. Stunning arrangements by Claus Ogerman, wonderfully conducted by Harry Lookovsky and performed by great musicians, Jobim's wonderful direction, singing  and playing. . . . As time goes by I love this one more and more.

This is like listening to a really good pop record, only without the annoying LCD accommodations. Good tunes (Hello Roland Alexander & Charles Davis!) unexpected production appearance by Russell Jacquet, and oh look Gold Star Studios. So it IS like a really good pop record, now we can have an allowable # of degrees of separation between Mingus & Cher! How many would that be, 4? IMingus - Illinois/Russell - Gold Star - Cher, right?

I had bought a pretty plowed LP of this back in the 70s, remember liking a lot, playing it a few times, and then putting it away, glad to know THAT happened, etc.. Got this OJC god knows when, one of those file-away-until purchases, never opened it until today. Well, it's still good, and now all the scratches are gone. Win!
