Cannonball Adderley recorded this nice little groover in 1962, when American musicians were just getting on the Bossa tip, & still keeping things pretty authentic. The record was cut in New York with Sergio Mendes' early Bossa Rio group -- the legendary Brazilian jazz ensemble that featured Paulo Moura, Dom Um Romao, and Durval Ferreira. The mixture of tight bossa rhythms and Cannon's soulful sax is totally great -- and it's only because the Riverside label was folding at the time that the record never got bigger fame. Includes the cuts "Joyce's Samba", "Clouds", "Minha Saudade", "Corcovado", "Batida Diferentes", & "Sambops".
