At the very beginning of the Sixties, almost every American Jazz musician in the business had to somehow express his attraction for the exotic yet challenging Brazilian sound of the day. Originally released in 1962 on Argo Records this is the album that shows Ramsey Lewis's trio embracing the light and infectious groove of Bossa Nova, a genre and a style in which Lewis's Pop sensibility fits perfectly. The trio, here and there augmented by Brazilian guests, shines throughout a well chosen track-list of songs from the likes of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfá plus a bunch of originals in the same vein.
