One of the few albums cut by singer Vi Velasco -- and a great vocal follow-up to the Zoot Sims bossa albums.

Zoot plays tenor on this record too -- mixing his solos with Vi's vocals in a style that's rather like the interplay between Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto -- with a similar blend of American pop-jazz and Brazilian pop/dance/roots!.
