Fabulous music!
Every track on this CD is fabulous. Great interpetation of original Brasilian music that brings the real sounds, feel, and romantic spirit of the country to life.

Not sufficiently purist...
I love most Charlie Byrd album, but this one isn't one of my favorites. The saxophone is intrusive (unlike Byrd's collaboration with Scott Hamilton) and detracts from Byrd's virtuoso guitar playing.

Wonderful! Buenísimo! Formidável!
Como brasileiro, não posso deixar de elogiar este album do Charlie Byrd. É simplesmente maravilhoso, perfeito, um verdadeiro primor. Recomendo a todos. Não se arrependerão, asseguro.

Charlie Byrd Revisited
I haven't received this CD yet, but I have the paper-thin albums of these renditions. I have been a Charlie Byrd fan for many years, and will continue to be.

If you love latin rhythms, if you love the sound of a sweet and mellow guitar, you are in for a treat. Every song is a thing of beauty before Charlie finishes it.

If you are already a fan, this is a wonderful way to preserve those beautiful songs, and his beautiful renditions. I am so glad I can revisit my favorite guitarist!

Simply....beautiful
Bossa nova standards where every note from every musician
counts with no orchestra to detract from the simple
beauty of each. You will be familiar with most of these songs,
esp. those written by Jobim, from Byrd's other albums but, to your surprise in many cases, you may find yourself preferring these renditions.
