Solid Collection of Lesser Known Artists & Renditions.......2006-04-24

This is a nice roundup of some lesser know tracks and/or less known artists covering well-known samba tracks.

If you have a couple hundred samba CD & records, then you might add another star to this review since you do get a lot of tracks on CD that is probably hard to find even on LP.

If you're just an average samba fan looking to add to your collection, you should put this series on your list but only after you've acculmulated a couple hundred other samba discs first.

It's nice, interesting and pleasant overall. But the "must have" to "pleasant listening" ratio for most average listeners is not high enough to rank this disc as EXCELLENT (4 stars) or CLASSIC - MUST OWN (5 stars). It's good. It's solid but it's not amazing.
