A mix of U.S. Verve recordings plus two cuts from the "Organ-ized" LP belonging to the Philips label! It's truly amazing that Verve put out this compilation and decided NOT to use their own "Rain Forest" version of "Summer Samba", deciding instead to include the original version recorded in Brazil!

Tracks (alphabetical listing):
amazonas
aqua de beber
batucada surgiu
beach samba
blue island
call me
canto de ossanha
crickets sing for anamaria
different beat, a
girl from ipanema, the
goodbye sadness (tristeza) - (featuring astrud gilberto)
music to watch girls by
popcorn

wave

Personnel: Walter Wanderley (piano, organ); Astrud Gilberto (vocals); Urbie Green (trombone); Jerome Richardson (flute); Claudio Slon (drums), Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar); Jose Marino (bass); Lu Lu Ferreira, Bobby Rosengarden (percussion).
