This is part of the Concord Records Jazz Moods series.

Jazz Moods: Brazilian Romance creates a cool, lilting bossa nova atmosphere underpinned by sensuous rhythms that help set the mood suggested by the title. As you might expect, there s no shortage of Antonio Carlos Jobim compositions, but there s also plenty of variety in source material. Highlights of the sampler include Charlie Byrd and Ken Peplowski s duet on Corcovado. ~ Steve Huey
