Review by Scott Yanow
Having been a major part of Stan Getz's very popular Jazz Samba album, it was only fitting that guitarist Charlie Byrd would start recording his own bossa nova records. This CD reissue brings back the 12 songs originally on the Riverside LP Bossa Nova Pelos Passaros plus six of the 11 tunes from Once More! Bossa Nova. Byrd and his trio (which included bassist Keter Betts and drummer Bill Reichenbach) are augmented on some selections by strings, extra percussion, plus horns. In reality the background musicians are not needed since Byrd was at the top of his form in those days. Unlike some of his earlier sets, these pretty and melodic recordings are very concise (lacking a sense of adventure), clocking in between one-and-a-half and three-and-a-half minutes, and looking toward the guitarist's later Columbia dates. Highlights include "Meditation," "O Barquinho," "Desafinado," "Bim Bom," "O Passaro" and "Limehouse Blues."

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Habiendo sido una parte importante del muy popular álbum de Stan Getz Jazz Samba, era lógico que el guitarrista Charlie Byrd empezara a grabar sus propios discos de bossa nova. Esta reedición del CD trae de vuelta las 12 canciones originales del LP de Riverside Bossa Nova Pelos Passaros más seis de los 11 temas de Once More! Bossa Nova. Byrd y su trío (que incluía al bajista Keter Betts y al baterista Bill Reichenbach) se aumentan en algunas selecciones por cuerdas, percusión extra, más trompetas. En realidad los músicos de fondo no son necesarios ya que Byrd estaba en la cima de su forma en aquellos días. A diferencia de algunos de sus primeros sets, estas bonitas y melódicas grabaciones son muy concisas (carentes de sentido de la aventura), y registran entre un minuto y medio y tres minutos y medio, mirando hacia las fechas posteriores del guitarrista en Columbia. Entre las más destacadas se encuentran "Meditation", "O Barquinho", "Desafinado", "Bim Bom", "O Passaro" y "Limehouse Blues".
