The record
A budget-label cash-in on the bossa boom, cut when Crown was flooding racks with quickie genre sets to catch Getz/Gilberto fever. Personnel unlisted, as was Crown's habit -- this is easy-listening exotica more than a jazz statement, a curio of early-60s bossa mania.
Contemporary reception
