Editorial Reviews

Produced by Sergio Mendes for A&M and wielding a sound comparable to Brasil '66, Bossa Rio boasted two bona-fide Brazilian stars in their ranks: Manfredo Fest and Pery Ribeiro. CD debut for this jazzy bossa-nova gem!

2.0 out of 5 stars fine music but... what a mess with the tracks of the cd!, November 6, 2009

I love Hodges' music very much, but in this cd the tracks from 6 to 11 are a real mess, worse than what the previous reviewer pointed out: track 6 includes both "Autumn in New York" (piano only) and "Sweet Lorraine"(like a medley); consequently the following tracks from 7 to 10 correspond to the titles shown as tracks 8 to 11 on the cover. Moreover, on track 11 you can listen to a very nice version of "All of Me", which of course is not mentioned on the cover!
That's why my rating, instead of 4 or 5 for the music, is 2 for the CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, wrong order of song names, May 6, 2009

This is a great CD, but tracks 8, 9, and 10 are not in correct order. Track 8 is actually "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", 9 is "If You Were Mine", and 10 is "Time On My Hands"

Simply said, it's Hodges, what's not to like, the smooth as silk alto of Hodges makes him an original, check him out. Anything Hodges is worth owning. Check out the Avid Four Classic Album set, you won't be sorry.
