A great chapter in 60s bossa jazz...
Zoot Sims 'answer' to Stan Getz's bossa work on Verve, recorded in a similar jazz-meets-bossa style,still there's no question of endless repetition concering this album.With some great guitar work by Jim Hall!
Zoot's solos are a bit tighter and not as laidback as Stan's giving a more jazz-based sound to the work that makes for a nice change.
Most of the tunes feature larger backings from Manny Albam and Al Cohn, never too over-arranged, but with enough of a full swinging sound to set things right.
'Bernie's tune' and 'Nature boy' 's versions present exquite and rare constancy while they escape us at times...
