A sumptuously packaged and beautifully designed 2CD set from Motor music, which I have coveted for some time.

I have most of Walter's Verve albums, but not much of his Brazilian stuff. There is a CD of each, and they both sound incredible. On the Brazilian disc, a standout track is 'deixa isso pra la', a bizarre, percussive song in which female vocalists seem to rap out some words repeatedly. The American cuts are very well chosen, with selections in duet with Astrud Gilberto and Luiz Henrique as well as cuts from each of his Verve albums in his own name.

More on this soon.
