I found this album in a small record shop off the Avenida Paulista in Sao Paulo in 2003, while looking for quiet bossa guitar classics. The sound quality is amazing, each chord plucked clean ans the timbre full and rich. Each song has its distinct flavor, yet the songs segue smoothly into each other. Baden Powell is a true guitar genius. The music has never failed to calm, soothe and put us in a tranquil, relaxed mood especially after a rough day, the same way Kind of Blue does. When Ezra gave birth to our baby Jakob we put this on in the labor and delivery room, and the hospital staff all mentioned how great it was and asked for the artist and album information, intending to get their copies, from the doctor, anesthesiologist, to the nurses! At any rate, it worked like magic and my wife had a very easy delivery!

I have this record in LP, I had searched for this album on CD for several years, is a true gem.

The late great Baden Powell was a true guitar master.Everything i've ever heard from him has been complete and total brilliance,this release no exception. Do not hesitate and wait until this goes out of print again, as it will.This is a timeless classic that will appeal to most tastes as it is just so good.
