Much Better Than the First in the Series

"Yes - this is more like it! the first in the series was a collection of interesting jazzy samba but nothing particularly noteworthy other than obscurity - this one is much better. It's a nice fun collection of sexy, sinewy jazzy samba - some obscure, some well know but all cool and fun as samba can be. The only oddity is the poorly recorded version of "Desafinado" - must be some cheap license to get a slightly garbled bootleg sounding version but since you should not only own Jo?o Gilberto CD's/Lp's or have it on almost any of the other collection - no biggie.
This collection lives up to the name of the series and the cover :-)"
