The record
Cuban-born pianist Marco Rizo, best known for his years scoring Desi Arnaz's orchestra, rides the mid-'60s bossa wave here with light, keyboard-forward arrangements aimed squarely at the budget-label exotica market. A crate-digger curiosity more than a jazz landmark, it's Somerset's take on the Brazilian craze sweeping American living rooms.
