When Creed Taylor left Verve/MGM for his own label under the auspices of A&M, he quickly signed Antonio Carlos Jobim and they picked up right where they left off with this stunningly seductive record, possibly Jobim's best.
Jobim contributes his sparely rhythmic acoustic guitar, simple melodic piano style, a guest turn at the harpsichord, and even a vocal on "Lamento," while Claus Ogerman lends a romantically brooding hand with the charts.
A pair of instant standards are introduced ("Wave," "Triste"), but this album is to be cherished for its absolutely first-rate tunes - actually miniature tone poems - that escaped overexposure and thus sound fresh today.
The most beautiful sleeper is "Batidinha," where the intuitive Jobim/Ogerman collaboration reaches its peak.
One only wishes that this album were longer; 32 minutes leaves you wanting more.

LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean labels - a couple of spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces shine like new - a few superficial marks are visible but nothing of any audible significance
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+/EXCELLENT
Plays beautifully throughout - an odd one-off tick noted - nothing really - sounds fantastic
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Crisp, clean and sharp - no edge or spine wear - just some light surface creases - again, nothing really
