Hello, Good Evening! When I saw this album in the middle of others contributions given by the great Caetano Rodrigues, I thought it was a compilation of previous releases by Henry Mancini with some Bossa Nova style. I was wrong. As Musicas de Henry Mancini em Bossa Nova brings brand new material, twelve instrumental renditions of Henry Mancini essential tunes performed as Bossa Nova.This is As Musicas de Henry Mancini em Bossa Nova (no date), for CID, part of a series of instrumental albums, each one an homage to a given artist, so far, I could track equivalents for Ary Barroso and Dorival Caymmi, there are probably others. Guess who is behind this initiative? Durval Ferreira, credited as artistic and musical director. Personnel is not credit and the music is performed by a quartet with keyboards, bass, guitar and drums. Tracks include:
01 - Champagne and Quail
02 - Charade
03 - Days of Wine and Roses
04 - Royal Blue
