Herbie Mann & Joao Gilberto - Recorded in Rio de Janeiro (1965)

This album is a classic of the jazz/bossa nova golden period. It was recorded in Rio de Janeiro - 1965 - with Joao Gilberto, Baden Powell and Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Jobim is the author of several sons in the album and responsible for most of the wonderful arrangements, piano playing and the vocal in One Note Samba. In two instrumental tracks Mann and Powell are alone in marvelous duets.

This is said by many that this LP is the best Herbie Mann record. zecalouro will let with you to confirm.
