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.
trés, trés, trés belle music !

Zeca,
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that all the songs are played by Jobim, Mann and Joao Gilberto?
I'm quite sure the tunes "Desafinado", "Maria Ninguém" and "Morena Rosa" are from original records...
I ask if you're sure about it because I listened to the songs... the ones in this album and the original ones and they sound the same... I am no musician at all but... it seems, at least, to be the very same song...
If the songs are the original ones, it sucks, because the title makes us believe that Herbie Mann and Joao Gilberto actually have been together in studio, in Rio, in 1965... but it doesn't seem to be true...
How do you see it zeca?
Hello Marcos,
ReplyDeleteHow are you?
This album is here since July 2006, since the very first beginning of Loronix. I'm being open and honest saying I don't have the answer right now. I think the community has something to say about this one. I'm grabbing your comment to the frontpage, perhaps with some extra eye-balls we can have this thing answered.
Ayway, thanks for commenting.
Kind Regards,
zeca
