This is part of the Concord Records Jazz Moods series.

Jazz Moods: Brazilian Romance creates a cool, lilting bossa nova atmosphere underpinned by sensuous rhythms that help set the mood suggested by the title. As you might expect, there's no shortage of Antonio Carlos Jobim compositions, but there's also plenty of variety in source material. Highlights of the sampler include Charlie Byrd and Ken Peplowski's duet on "Corcovado." ~ Steve Huey
