This CD was recorded with no overdubs in pretty much one or two takes
per song at Mark "Bongodude" Capsalors's home in Bristol, CT. Guitarist
Judy Simonds does some excellent vocal work, including singing in
Portuguese, on "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Gentle Rain". Tom Parker
is soloing on electric bass throughout the set, and Woody Floyd makes
some great contributions as lead percussionist. In addition to his
outstanding work on alto and soprano sax, Bob plays flute on "Favela",
"Corcovado" and Tom Parker's composition, "Green Mountain Bossa
Nova". Bob says the ensemble really stands out on "Samba de Orfeo",
"Manha de Carnaval (Theme from Black Orpheus)" and Chick Corea's "La
Fiesta".  Recorded in February 2003.
