This is an 1963 Elis Regina - Selftitled - third career album. Elis stills pretty young here but displays an advanced stage of artistry, confident and swinging throughout the album, and in supreme control of her voice. She scats over "Formiguinha Triste," toying with a saxophone very reminiscent of Stan Getz.Astor makes the arrangements, assembling a small bossa nova group with muted brass and reeds, lending a superb accompaniment to Brazil's brightest young singer.
