"Brubeck successfully incorperated three major musical influences into his quartet; jazz, classical, and Bossa Nova. This album is a classic, yet fails to make it big on cd. (in America anyway) The most memorable songs on this album were the opener, Bossa Nova USA, and Trolley Song. All the other songs got good melody hoooks and good musicianship. During this time, drummer Joe Morello had developed some interesting latin rythms and drum beats. It's great how Brubeck incorperated this great style of music into his brilliant jazz, because Stan Getz Bossa Nova, is a little boring for me."
