Eddie Harris - Bossa Nova

Lalo Schifrin - Piano and Arranger
Jimmy Raney - Guitar
Art Davis - Bass
Jack Del Rio - Latin Percussion
Osvaldo Cigno - Latin Percussion

Recorded - [not listed on sleeve, exact details also unknown, Lord's discography estimates sometime 1963, Chicago between the sides 'Goes to the Movies' and 'Half and Half', however Payne based on his research and conversations with Art Davis locates this session to November 1962 in New York City]

Supervision - Sid McCoy
Recording - [unknown]
Cover - Okamoto/London

Released - March 16, 1963

This is perhaps the most appealing of Eddie Harris' early Vee-Jay recordings. Great Bossa Nova compositions, fantastic arrangements by Lalo Schifrin, and some very energetic playing by Eddie makes this side a resounding success. Although rips of this particular LP have been circulating for years now, this is a brand new rip taken from the near mint original Vee Jay mono vinyl.
