Recorded in 1964 during two concerts in the venerable Greenwich Village venue, the Caf Au Go Go, two months after Astrud Gilberto’s “Girl From Ipanema” became a Top Five pop single. However, the focus of these sets moved away from the Brazilian flavored fare, bringing Gilberto into the realm of a decidedly more North American style.

The band features a young Gary Burton (vibraphone), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Gene Cherico (bass), and Joe Hunt (drums). There are a few personnel substitutions, with Helcio Milito (drums) and Chuck Israels (bass), respectively, filling in.
