O’s Notes: Freddy places his gutsy, smooth vocals on top of the samba rhythms of Brazil and new arrangements of standard American classics. He continues the success formula of his late-blooming jazz career by sticking with solid song selections and strong musicians. Eric Alexander (s), ArturoO’Farrill (p) and Jerry Byrd (g) are notable.
