“The music is played with impish wit, with the musicians even playfully naming a song such as “Samba Dees Days.” But the puckishness is never separated from the sublime and venerable nature of the melodies. Then there are the enchanted charts where Mr. Getz loses himself in splendid labyrinthine melodies. “O Pato,” “E Luxo Só” and “Bahia” are dreamlike and exemplify this. Finally there is music that captures the elemental longing of Brasilian longing. This can be heard in “Samba Triste” and elsewhere. It is impossible to find a wrong note or an ill-advised motif anywhere on this album. And thus it is possible to understand why the beauty of the album will always remain eternal.” Raul da GamaLatin, Jazz Network
