"If you like Ella, Duke, Count, Sinatra... you'll love Walter Wanderley's music." – Tony Bennett

From the back cover: The young Sao Paulo organist first caught the public ear with his brilliant arrangements for his good friend and compatriot, Joao Gilberto. The year was 1961. By '62, Wanderley was a headliner in his own right, launching a string of hits that included The Girl From Ipanema, Desadinado and the high-flying Song Of The Jet (which you'll hear in this album).
