This album is not only recognized as having one of the most delightful
covers in the MPS catalogue, this October 1971 Baden Powell recording is
also part of the second trilogy that he recorded for the label between
1966 and 1975. The album was iinspired by Powells relationship with
writer and producer Joachim Ernst Berendt, who helped Powell further his
European career by inviting him to perform at the Berlin Jazz Festival
of 1967. The songs on this album show Powells distinct style, which
fused elements of bossa nova, samba, Brazilian jazz, Latin jazz and
musica popular brasileira, as well as his virtuosic guitar playing.
