Another great mid 60s bossa session from Eumir Deodato, this time featuring Eumir on Hammond organ as well as piano. The organ really adds bite to the songs, and this ends up being an extremely compelling album. Standout tracks are the lovely warm opener (featured on many of my compilations), 'menina certiha' and 'pouca duracao' (with its moody opening and striking organ). Eumir also pays homage to Henry Mancini with a version of 'Cheers!' from 'Peter Gunn'. Plus there is a superb upbeat take on Marcos Valle's 'samba de verao' (summer samba). It's another very pleasant, short album; the sound is very appealing, and the songs - a mix of well and lesser known Brazilian standards - drift into each other slightly. It's not as sophisticated as some of my favorite Brazilian pop music, but I like it anyway.
