A pleasant date recorded in late 1962 with South American musicians
the Bossa Rio Sextet of Brazil.
Cannonball is heard alongside
Sergio Mendes on piano, future
Weather Report percussionist
Dom Um Romao, and featured on five cuts is
Paulo Moura on alto saxophone with
Pedro Paulo on trumpet. Unfortunately this release contains little fire, as
Adderley didn't get much rehearsal time with these musicians. Combined with the repetitious nature of the Bossa Nova these proceedings can get tedious. This session was originally released on Riverside, but
Adderley took several master tapes (including this one) when he made his move to Capitol.
