5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly Stunning, December 30, 2008

Wow. I've owned this CD for five years and just keep coming back to it over and over. I have a rather large collection of 50s & 60s Jazz and 60s bossa nova, including all of the essential canon of bossa: gilberto, jobim, getz, bonfa, baden powell, sergio mendes, et al. This album is somehow overlooked among bossa lovers. And jazz lovers. Tjader here shows the perfectly "sad beautiful" character that always characterized bossa nova from "Chega Saudade" on. Particularly with "Vai Querer" and "Se E Tarde, Me Perdoa," that lilting, joyful melancholy is at its most poignant. I can't imagine a bossa lover not resonating with Tjader's earnest take on 60s bossa nova in these tracks.

If your a fan of jazz and especially like Cal Tjader, it's nice to have a dvd to play in your home and car. I have the 33-1/3 record and it's a little scratched. This is it for you!
