Information/Write-up
Groovy Canadian-only Capitol/CBC co-production instrumental LP featuring the talents of Guido Basso (trumpet), Ted Roderman, Rob McConnell (trombone), Jerry Toth, Moe Koffman, Eugene Amaro (flute & sax), Peter Appleyard (percussion), Ed Bickert, Jim Pirie, Sonny Greenidge, Lenny Breau (guitar), and Jimmy Dale (organ, leader, and arranger). Killer LP end-to-end with strong Brazilian and Beatles selections… Wow, great version of Milton Banana's "Cidade Vazia", you never see this! Great jazz bossa big band!
