Impulse Records / Jasmine Re-Issue Made in UK
I have owned a vinyl copy of this album for many years and it has long been a favorite. It has a mostly bright and cheerful sound - very much in keeping with the "samba" theme - without compromising the jazz feeling and virtuosity that Milt Jackson brings to all his work. Personnel varies slightly between some of the tracks, three of which comprise vocals. Amongst the main participants are tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath, the ever-reliable Tommy Flanagan on piano and Connie Kay on drums. The CD case reproduces the original record covers, including Leonard Feather's liner notes and the technical quality of the recording is amazingly good, considering that it was recorded in 1964. Fine jazz for a summer night ! Highly recommended. by Hans.
