From Billboard - May 8, 1965: Another winning, cleverly conceived program. Opening with an intriguing Jobim tune, "Samba do Aviao," he segues into as the day Bart Howard wrote it. The Bennett voice on this and a Peggy Lee and Cy Coleman tune, "Then Was Then And Now Is Now," is impossible to top, especially with Don Costa providing the backing.
