The record
A 1961 bossa nova excursion catching Dorham riding the era's Brazilian wave, fronting an unlikely big-band-sized crew that pairs Herbie Mann's flute with the Cohn-Sims tenor/alto tandem and Curtis Fuller's trombone. Ray Mantilla's percussion keeps the samba pulse honest while the horns trade choruses over Ronnie Ball's chords -- a loose, sun-warmed session from a trumpeter usually filed under hard bop.
