Plays Brazilian Mancini (Mod) [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Back in 1965, partnering with L.A. label Vault Records and a host of top Brazilian musicians, understated pianist Jack Wilson recorded a bossa nova tribute album to Henry Mancini. Now a highly prized Bossa Nova album for jazz collectors worldwide, this wonderful jazz album with all tunes penned by the great Henry Mancini features the great Roy Ayers (vibraphone), and a Brazilian rhythm section featuring Chico Batera (drums, percussion); Sebastiao Neto (bass) and multi-instrumentalist and legendary Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Jobim (who, playing guitar here under the name of Tony Brazil, just happened to be in town for his early Reprise recordings and sat in on these sessions, arranging and playing guitar on every track). Delivering a unique bossa sound; quiet, subtle in a magical atmosphere, this is a must for bossa aficionados everywhere and includes standout tracks 'Blue Satin', 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and 'Days of Wine and Roses'.
