Brilliant bossa all the way through -- and a lovely illustration of the importance of the guitar in Brazilian music! The set brings together 50s work from a host of different sources -- American bossa jazz, originals from Rio, and even some key tracks from overseas -- all working together beautifully in a package that manages to hit more than enough bases to provide an overview of the genre while still keeping things fresh! Titles include "Bim Bom" by Charlie Byrd, "Corcovado" by Gabor Szabo, "Minha Saudade" by Rosinha De Valenca, "Coisa Numero Um" by Bola Sete, "Meditacao" by Joe Pass, "Insensatez" by Wes Montgomery, "Canto De Ossanha" by Baden Powell, "Simple Samba" by Jim Hall, "Outra Vez" by Stan Getz & Laurindo Almeida, "Jackie All" by George Benson, "Batidinha" by Antonio Carlos Jobim, "Samba De Orfeu" by Luis Bonfa, and "Um Abraco No Bonfa" by Joao Gilberto.
