A live bit of bossa vocals from Lennie Dale – recording here with some cooking accompaniment from the Bossa
Tres trio! The format is very spontaneous and relaxed – similar to an American live
jazz vocal date of the time, but with a bossa groove instead – one that's a perfectly showcase for Dale's lively vocals and strong sense of showmanship – singing here in both English and Portuguese! Luis Carlos Vinhas' piano playing sparkles throughout, and although recorded in a
club, the set has all the crystal clarity you'd expect from the Elenco studio sides of the time. Many tunes are done in pot-pourri fashion – shifting easily between themes of a few different tunes – and titles include "No Dollar Bills", "Day In Day Out", "Old Devil Moon", "O Samba Da Minha Terra", "Improvisacao Bossa
Tres", "Bim Bom", and "Samba Do Aviao".
