A wonderful set from vocalist Johnny Holiday &n
dash; recorded in later years, but with a depth that easily matches his classics! The album's got a definite bossa bent &n
dash; as you'd guess from the title &n
dash; and Johnny's rich, deep vocals work with the music in ways that are quite similar to Tony Bennett's best bossa-styled recordings of the 60s &n
dash; surprisingly full of feeling, but with the right sort of careful balance to live up to the best bossa traditions, too! The notes are a bit lacking in detail, but we believe the set was done in collaboration with Sam Most &n
dash; who plays some great jazzy flute, amidst light rhythms and just a
dash of strings. Titles include "Triste", "Wave", "Dindi", "This Happy Madness", "Meditation", and "One Note Samba".
