Mellow Sarah

"I'm actually not particularly fond of the title track, or the second song on the album. But the rest are perfect. Dreamer, a Jobim song, is one of her best. The others are super-laidback, relaxing. The album doesn't necessarily stand out, but it is one of her best nonetheless. I'd get it while it's still in print."

This the second bunch of Brazilian standards by Ms. Vaughan who was backed by the same musicians as in the former album (titled 'I Love Brazil' here @Amazon). Features the great Helio Delmiro on guitar.
All material is Bossa Nova except the title song, an old traditional samba and also a smash hit in Brazil. 4 out 8 tracks are compositions by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Also includes an Ivan Lins' smash hit 'Abre-Alas'."
