Herbie Mann - Do The Bossa Nova with Herbie Mann (1962)

I spoke with Caetano about this post, learning several things to make Loronixers informed about this record. This album was recorded in Rio de Janeiro in a time where Bossa Nova hit its peak, assembling the top players of the style, such as: Antonio Carlos Jobim, Dom Um Romao, Sergio Mendes, Baden Powell, among others. We have here an anthological recording, surprisingly out of print, provided by Caetano Rodrigues to Loronixers.

This is Herbie Mann - Do The Bossa Nova with Herbie Mann (1962), for Atlantic USA. Very wise of Herbie Mann to gather his instruments and come down to Rio de Janeiro to record Bossa Nova with the genius of the style. I think personnel listing will guide you to what you will hear inside this beautiful cover, thanks once again, Caetano, this out of print jewel was a sought after post and you are making it on a wonderful quality.
