This album presents a second version of Brasil '66, including the excellent Brazilian musicians Rubens Bassini, Sebastiao Neto and Dom Um Romao. The string arrangements were written by Dave Grusin. What's different is the direction in which the music on this album took. Turning from pop music influences, these songs reflect more of the Brazilian heritage of the musicians, and are more adventurous as a result. "Festa", "Casa Forte" and "Lapinha" are my personal favorites on the album. Beside these fine tracks, the most-recognized arrangements from this album would be the two cover versions on this album: "Fool On The Hill" and "Scarborough Fair". In case you're wondering what kind of "hill" the "fools" on the cover are sitting on, on the original LP gatefold jacket, take a closer look! Of all the original Brasil '66 albums, this is the only one to be released domestically on CD (currently on Polygram's Rebound budget label).
