This was a beautiful bossa nova record of
Astrud Gilberto
's vocal stylings...All the material (32:13) here, with the exception of
"Learn to Live Alone"
and "Pretty Place," which were arranged by
Al Cohn
, were arranged by
Gil Evans
. With the exception of a
Johnny Coles
trumpet solo, the personnel was uncredited on this 1966 recording. Discographies have credited
Bob Brookmeyer
(valve trombone),
Kenny Burrell
(guitar), and
Grady Tate
(drums), but except for a few bars of sax, there was no solo indivdualism in this large
Creed Taylor
-produced orchestra. ~ Bob Rusch, Cadence
