Among the most consistent of jazzmen, flugelhornist Art Farmer sounds in fine form on this quintet outing with tenor-saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist Fred Hersch, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Akira Tana. The material, other than the standards "Nostalgia" and "Have You Met Miss Jones?" is more obscure than usual, with an adaptation of a Scriabin classical prelude and numbers by Rufus Reid, Farmer ("Flashback") and Benny Carter ("Souvenir"). Creative bop-based music with Farmer's usual subtlety clearly in evidence.

Album released in North America in 1965 and reissued several times, third in the career of the Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto (Bahia, 1940). Astrud's voice, warm, soft and intimate, has been described as the voice of the sound of the 'cherished innocence'. It has a stranglehold on the bossa songs while creating fresh and incisive interpretations of American popular songs.
”This album is a dream come true. I started to write songs about two years ago and contacted Dalasinfoniettan, an absolutely fantastic Swedish orchestra that I love. For a short while I was thinking that there are already so much lovely music out there to record, but felt very fast that for me it’s natural to compose new material. It has been both a freedom and a challenge to have an orchestra available.” (Rigmor Gustafsson)
