An intimate duo set by Tania Maria and her long time associate, bassist extraordinaire, Eddie Gomez. Besides several Tania's originals --"Dear Vee Vee," "Senso Único" and the title tracks are my favourites --, also includes surprising renditions of Luiz Bonfa/Antonio Carlos Jobim's long-forgotten toada "A Chuva Caiu," Alcyr Pires Vermelho/Nazareno de Brito's gem "Bronzes e Cristais" and Roberto Carlos/Erasmo Carlo's "Sentado à Beira do Caminho."
