Immortal samba, and its rhythmic relatives, is on the one hand so undemanding that it manages to take off with the simplest of instruments, yet on the other hand it is so concentrated that it can conjure up all manner of fantastic sound coloring.

With regard to these sessions that were recorded in the 1960s, when bossa nova found its way to the U.S.A., the record bosses gathered together a superb array of musicians. Influenced by a classical training on the guitar, Byrd’s guitar playing weaves its way through the complicated but always lightweight arrangements. The “One Note Samba”, with its intentional monotony, is performed nonchalantly yet does not lack verve; the “Weekend In Guaruja” is filled with sunshine and high spirits. The ensemble plays with great variance and well-measured phrases on the winds while cracking shots from the drum set mark the unwavering rhythm to which Byrd lets his guitar strings dance.
