"Indeed.........
Oscar has been around since the Bossa Nova craze back in the early 60's, and he's recorded several great albums for him, as well as conducted and arranged for many others; and this CD here is among the top-5 of his.
8 cuts in this magnificent effort were incredibly popular in the early 90's around the World, in all of those Jazz Radio Stations that would air Brazilian Jazz; cuts like:
- Playful Lovers
- Felicia and Bianca
- My Heart Knows
- More Than Yesterday
- Unconditional Love
- Lady in Purple
- Always New
and...
- My Sweet Sweetie Pie.
This is a MUST-HAVE for all those fans of Oscar and fans of wonderful music.
